Colorado, Self-Portrait with JFK
1967, printed 1978

Black and white photograph of a storefront with reflective glass windows. The reflection shows the lower half of a person standing in front of the building, wearing dark pants and shoes. A white square obscures the reflection of the person's upper body. To the left, inside the window, a framed picture of John F. Kennedy is visible with text above it reading "Dr. F. Kennedy COMMUNITY CENTER." The right side shows a set of double doors with "PUSH" and "PULL" instructions and various notices taped to them.
