A young woman in a white t-shirt and shorts jogs along a sidewalk in front of a grand, classical-style building in Washington DC. Shot on 8mm film in 1970, the footage captures her movement past the imposing structure with its tall windows and stone facade. The scene includes a large tree and a few pedestrians, conveying a slice of everyday life in the nation's capital during the 1970s. The grainy, slightly faded color and natural motion of the Super 8 home movie evoke a strong sense of nostalgia and historical authenticity.
