a cinematic photograph taken from outside a car at night in a car wash tunnel,the camera close to the fogged driver's side glass. the whole window is grey with condensation on the inside and streaming with water on the outside,so the car behind it is a soft dark blur. in the middle of that grey she has wiped one clear patch the size of a hand,and through it her eye,her cheekbone and a strand of white-blonde hair are sharp and lit cold blue. her fingers are still on the glass at the edge of the clear patch,pressed flat and pale. water runs down the outside across the clear patch and across her eye. she is looking out and slightly upward,past the camera,at the lamps in the roof of the tunnel. everything is grey,black and cold blue except the small warm patch of her skin inside the wiped hole. 85mm close,f/2.8,the water on the outside of the glass sharp and everything behind the fog soft. muted,melancholic mood,hyper-realistic,fine film grain. in the lower right corner,a small pencil signature: ziggy
