Ramon Leans on His Old Hoe at Day's End

A broad-shouldered weathered man with a grey moustache in an olive-grey sweater and a flat cap leans on a long-handled wooden hoe with a dark soil-stained blade at the edge of a vegetable plot looking calmly across the rows in low golden evening light.

A real photograph in the observational documentary genre, captured on 35mm film with a 35mm lens at f/5.6 for generous depth of field and open visible grain. A single soft overcast daylight key from high front falls evenly across surfaces with loose open shading gathering lightly under ledges and folds, finished in a plain desaturated grade with honest midtone contrast and unpolished texture. Wide 16:9 frame. In low golden evening light at the edge of a small vegetable plot a broad-shouldered Latino man in his early sixties with deep tan weathered skin, short silver-grey hair, a thick grey moustache and a faint cleft chin stands leaning on a long-handled wooden hoe with both hands on its top and one boot on a clod of earth, the blade dark with soil and the handle worn smooth by years of use, looking out across the rows with a calm weathered expression, seen from the side at eye level and framed full length. His hands rest on the hoe handle, exactly five digits visible or anatomically accounted for on each hand. The farmer wears an olive-grey sweater and a flat cap with work trousers. No readable words, numbers, logos or brand marks appear on any case, bag, tin, label or object; labels and engravings are blank or plain, and no children appear.
