A man in a white bucket hat and dark jacket works outdoors at Sapphire Lake, Montana in 1977. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures him battling strong wind while handling a large, reflective plastic sheet. His focused expression and the way the material flutters show the difficulty of the task. The natural setting with trees and water provides a backdrop to this authentic slice of mid-70s Americana. The grainy, color-graded quality of the Super 8 home movie adds to its nostalgic, archival feel.
