Untitled (Frontier)
c. 1965–1968, printed 2007

A vintage photograph capturing a neon-lit sign that reads "FRONTIER" above a marquee advertising Eddie Fisher, along with other performers. In the foreground, three older individuals are seated on a bench at dusk, with the bustling street beside them and a twilight sky above. The image has a candid, street photography feel, with one person in motion blur as they walk past the camera.
