A silhouetted utility worker climbs a wooden pole to service a power transformer in this 8mm home movie from Ephesus, Turkey, 1962. Shot against a dark, overcast sky, the footage captures the technician ascending a ladder attached to the pole, with numerous power lines crisscrossing the frame. The grainy, high-contrast image and visible film edges evoke a strong sense of mid-century vintage and vintage archival footage. This authentic, unscripted moment offers a glimpse into everyday infrastructure maintenance during the early 1960s.
