A 1960s black-and-white photograph of a broad-shouldered young man in a corner of an empty conference room, listening intently to a reel-to-reel tape recorder.

Trapped in the corner of a wood-paneled 1960s conference room, a corporate stenographer presses a bone-colored Dictaphone earpiece to his ear as the long mahogany table looms into the frame. Shot on Kodak Double-X 5222 through a Super Baltar lens, the muted monochrome frame leans into unsettling asymmetry and naturalistic fluorescence. Heavy vignetting, soft corners, and edge silvering age the print.
