Wiping down
“Twelve-hour shifts. Nobody gets a breather.”
Vertical 9:16 static medium close-up, phone propped on a shelf. A 39-year-old Mexican-American man with tan skin, short black hair under a black bandana, short trimmed beard, faded black work tee, a chilli-pepper forearm tattoo and a white kitchen towel over one shoulder wipes down a stainless-steel counter in a small restaurant kitchen after close at night, hanging pans behind. He stops, leans on the counter with both hands, looks into the lens and says: "Twelve-hour shifts. Nobody gets a breather." Cool overhead fluorescent light, natural skin texture, shot on iPhone, unpolished, vertical 9:16. No captions or on-screen text.- duration
