Lys@andr@ walks up the steps in a gravel lot toward a white clapboard church in south Alabama, Bible held in one hand, the other lifting the hem of a pale floral sundress just enough to clear the steps. She wears a fitted cotton sundress with short sleeves, a modest neckline, and a hem below the knee, with simple heeled sandals and a thin gold cross at her throat, and looks at the viewer with a slight smirk. Bright Sunday-morning sun comes through live oaks hung with Spanish moss, warm on the dress and the church steps, with soft shade across her face and no flash. Around her are parked pickups, a brick walk, and open sanctuary doors. Real location, available light only. Candid 35mm film photograph, moderate depth of field, natural skin texture with visible pores, fine hair strands, slight grain, imperfect framing, photographed not illustrated.
