Interesting comment, Paul; thanks!
The figure of interest *is* the setting and all the busyness in it,
at least in my view. Like a lot of my work, it comes across much
better in a larger scale than typical web-rez pages... Did you look
at the larger version?
(The original print I made in 1983 was in the original format
(square) and is approximately 24x24 inches in size. I might yet go
with the original format proportions, but 11x14 in 16x20 matting is a
compelling framing for the gallery so I've been playing with it a bit.)

Conceptually it fits the bill. But I find it too busy and confused
to convey a clear message. The figure of interest is lost in the
business of the setting.

I'm preparing submission to another gallery show and the brief
they offered was "Home Grown - Life in the USA". For reasons which
immediately reveal my twisted sensibilities, this photo popped
into my head:

... Gads, I'd forgotten all about how slow and tedious it was to
scan film ...
