A man in a white work shirt with a logo carefully lays concrete blocks to build a low brick wall in Cottonwood, Arizona, in 1968. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures the detailed process of masonry work under bright sunlight, with a rural landscape of trees, power lines, and distant hills in the background. The grainy, color-graded quality of the Super 8 home movie evokes a strong sense of mid-century Americana and DIY craftsmanship.
