  • A black and white film still capturing a moment between two people in a parking lot. In the center, a woman sits on the curb in the narrow space between the rear bumpers of two parked cars—an SUV on the left and a sedan on the right. She is wearing a light-colored dress, looking up and slightly toward the camera with a subtle expression. Standing just behind her and slightly to the right, a man in a dark shirt and a light jacket looks off-frame to his right, away from the woman. The background features a manicured hedge and a line of trees under bright, natural daylight.
