In the dim glow of a fading afternoon, a window stands defiantly, blinds half-lifted, like the weary eyes of an old chef who’s seen it all. It bears a bold proclamation, “HELP WANTED” screaming in red and white – a call to arms for those brave enough to answer. Beneath, the details: “Linecook/ Dishwasher (Cocinero/ Lavaplatos)”, and a choice – a dance between “Part-time” and “Full-time”. Trees and a hopeful blue sky mirror themselves on the glass, a stark contrast to the world within. There’s a shadow, a specter – me, with camera in hand, but my identity remains a mystery, shielded from view. The photo? It’s got that gritty charm, reminiscent of old memories and tales told over whiskey. It’s a moment, captured in time, waiting for its story to be told. So far, it’s my most popular photo on Lomography.
