A black and white photograph capturing a moment at a cigarette vending machine. A man in a cap and glasses is seen from the side, possibly making a selection or purchase. Reflected in the glass of the machine is the face of a young person looking directly at the camera. The machine advertises "ALL CIGARETTES 35¢" with various brands and prices listed below. The setting appears to be indoors, with a glimpse of the outside visible in the reflection.
