A tired, freckled man with strawberry-blonde hair in a 1970s polyester suit balances a tall stack of books beside a yellow station wagon on a sunlit street.

On a sun-drenched 1970s city street recreated in the 2000s, a weary door-to-door salesman balances a towering stack of faux-leather encyclopaedias beside a mustard-yellow station wagon. Shot on Fuji Eterna 400T with Panavision C-Series anamorphics, the frame shows soft glamour lighting, warm oval bokeh, halation around the chrome trim, and the magenta color drift of a faded release print.
