Auburn California-1939: A person in work clothes tends to a flock of white chickens inside a dimly lit barn. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures the farmer feeding the birds from a bucket, with chickens running and pecking at the ground. The scene shows layered wooden perches and wire mesh, with natural light filtering through. The grainy, warm-toned visuals evoke a nostalgic, authentic slice of rural American farm life in the late 1930s.
