Crammed into a wet metropolitan phone booth, a middle-aged bail bondsman glances nervously over his shoulder while feeding a dime into the slot. Staged with a Speed Graphic camera for a 1950s pulp paperback reference and reproduced in offset lithography, the print suffers from expired film stock, pooling into muddy shadows alongside lurid, cross-processed acid greens and harsh, sulfurous yellows.
