A man in a dark sweater and trousers stands in front of a paneled garage door in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, 1946. Shot on 8mm film, the grainy black-and-white footage captures him shaking out a hand towel, wiping his hands, and then walking forward. The vintage home movie style, with natural lighting and slight camera movement, evokes a candid moment from mid-20th century American life.
