Untitled
c. 1970

Black and white photograph of a small roadside cafe with a "Coca-Cola" sign and a "Real Pit Bar-B-Q" poster. Two men stand outside, one leaning against the building and the other standing near a classic car. The cafe's service window is open, and the interior is faintly visible. The setting appears to be in the evening with lights on inside the cafe.
