A woman in a cut-out 1960s vinyl space suit sits in an Airstream spacecraft doorway in the desert, holding a smoking ray-gun.

Caught in a candid, off-center snapshot composition, a sharp-shooting ray-gun ace rests inside a converted silver Airstream lander in the desert. Her cut-out vinyl space suit and retro-finned blaster reflect the playful B-movie spirit of late-1960s American counter-culture cinema. Shot on 16mm Kodachrome with an Angénieux zoom, the frame retains a muted palette, lifted blacks, and coarse film grain.
