Description
A color photograph of three girls in a mall food court in Atlanta.
The girl in the center of the image holds a Styrofoam cup in her right hand and is drinking from it through a straw. She wears a pink and white t-shirt with a butterfly and flower design in the center, with pink pants and a clear plastic belt with silver buckle. Her hair is styled half-up in a tall cylindrical mass on the top of her head, with bangs swept across her forehead and tendrils down around her shoulders. She looks beyond the camera, raising her eyes to the right side of the image. To the left of the image is another girl, wearing a pink t-shirt, blue jeans, and a pink belt. Only her left side is captured in the frame, with her face is turned away from the camera so only her ear and the back of her head are visible. She holds an open Styrofoam container, only the lid is captured in the frame. On the right side is another girl, only her right side and most of her face is captured in the frame. She wears a white and pink striped collar shirt, with a small pink patterned purse over her shoulder, and white pants. She is facing the camera, but also looking up and to the right of frame. She wears her hair up, with bangs smoothed over her forehead.
On the back is an inscription handwritten by Bill Adler with the title, date and photographer.
