Description

A man with long dark curly hair stands upright inside a small, bright blue inflatable wading pool placed on a patchy green lawn. He wears a plain white crewneck t-shirt and light wash denim jeans rolled at the cuffs. The scene is shot in daylight against the exterior wall of a light grey clapboard residential house with white-trimmed windows and wooden steps leading up to a side entrance. A green garden hose is coiled on the grass near the base of the pool. The composition is captured with a documentary eye under direct natural sunlight.
