Late-night diner booth, 3 AM, rain on the window. A middle-aged Black woman in a waitress uniform sits across from a younger white man in a military jacket, his duffel on the floor. She’s smoking a Kool, he’s stirring coffee that’s already black. Neither speaks. On the table: a plate of untouched toast, a sugar caddy, a heart drawn in condensation on the window behind her head. Colors: red vinyl, chrome trim, her pink headwrap, his camo pattern. Camera: Contax G2, 28mm f/2.8 Biogon. Film: Kodak UltraMax 400. Aperture f/2.8, shutter 1/45. Shot through the window from outside, rain droplets blurring their faces just slightly.
