In an empty 1950s supper club, a wiry wine steward slides a folded banknote beneath a heavy silver cloche while staring toward the kitchen doors. Shot on a Rolleiflex Automat MX with Kodak Plus-X Pan pushed two stops, the square frame is weighted to one side in harsh chiaroscuro. Coarse grain, burnt-in darkroom edges, and crushed blacks give the silver gelatin print its tense noir atmosphere.
