Black-and-white 1990s documentary photo of an older woman in a Kangol hat peeling a potato in a decaying hallway, marked by heavy film grain and dust.

In a crumbling 1990s tenement corridor, a compact septuagenarian tenant sits on a milk crate, peeling a potato over an enamel basin. Shot on pushed Kodak Tri-X 400 with a Leica M6 and Voigtlander Nokton lens, the frame is heavy with coarse silver grain and low-contrast, muddy grays. Dust specks, a hairline scratch, and a faint fingerprint on the emulsion preserve the raw grit of urban documentary.
