Carnival
1956, printed c. 1975

A black and white photograph of a young man sitting casually in a fairground ride, smoking a cigarette. He is wearing a plain t-shirt and trousers, with his hair slicked back. The background shows an urban landscape with buildings and a clear sky. The image has a vintage feel, suggesting it was taken in the mid-20th century.
