Amateur polaroid photo of real people. Through a narrow gap in the crowd, blurred heads and shoulders of strangers at the frame edges, close on her face, close-up with her in the right third of the frame, the frame cut just below her breasts, her face large and sharp. Two people in the picture, one woman, and one man around her, she alone in the middle of them, she is short and small next to the men, her head only reaching their chests: the woman, a 28-year-old woman, of South American descent with warm golden-tan skin, jet-black hair, dark brown eyes, sharply angled eyebrows and a diamond-shaped face with high cheekbones, short, with a slender build, rides the escalator, her chin tipped up, her neck long, and one hand playing with a strand of her hair, wearing a sheer pink tulle top worn on her bare skin, her bare full round breasts, their nipples pressing against and plainly visible through the pink tulle, a thin silver choker with a small heart pendant sits at her throat, her hair in a messy bun with loose strands at her temples. Her face shows a shy giggle: eyes bright on the eyes of the man at her right side, a small giggle on her parted lips, a light blush on her cheeks, a light blush on her neck, the corners of her mouth turned up a little, smoky eyes: charcoal shadow blended up to her brow bone, black liner smudged along her lower lashes, the whites of her eyes bright against it, bronzed cheeks and nude glossy lips. She lets him look, her shoulders back. The man at her right side, a stocky young man in his twenties with a buzz cut, wearing a leather jacket over a t-shirt, standing on the same step at her right side, turned toward her, glancing sideways at her, caught looking, a sheepish crooked grin. The place soft and blurred behind her head, a crowded escalator in a shopping mall, glass balustrades and shop fronts on the floors around, bright even mall light, polaroid instant photo, unretouched skin with visible pores and small blemishes, faded colours, soft focus, vignette. A shy, giddy warmth.
