1977 black and white photograph. In a darkened room, nearly all the illumination appears to come from a row of vending machines – to the left can only be seen partially, but in the center is one labeled "candies," and the next one is labelled "cigarettes." The upper parts of the displays, panels hiding the actual products, have vertical stripes, with the "candies" machien showing a dish of candy in a circle, surrounded by bubbles. The cigarette machine shows cigarette cartons. Each machine has two rows of buttons or knobs for selections. Standing in front of the candy machine is a young black woman, wearing a white, lightweight formal-looking blouse with tight cuffs and slightly billowy sleeves, and a broad rectangular collar. Below she has on a trim skirt or perhaps pants. Her right hand is leaning on the machine as she studies her choices. He left arm holds notebooks and a newspaper to her body, and her hand clutches what is probably a backpack. The picture is highly contrasty, dark darks and bright lights.
