Shot on 8mm film in 1938, this vintage home movie captures a man rowing a small wooden boat across the calm waters of Bucks Lake, California. The footage, tinted with a deep purple hue typical of aged color film, shows the man in a flat cap and dark jacket paddling steadily. A dense forest lines the distant shore under a muted sky, creating a serene, isolated atmosphere. The handheld camera follows the boat’s gentle movement, preserving a quiet moment of solitude and recreation from the late 1930s.
