Concrete Sundown
a board-marked concrete courtyard, low sun across the slab
A single courtyard of board-marked concrete, the wall running the full height of the frame and the floor a slab with the joints showing, shot in the hour when the sun gets low enough to slide across it. The grey warms to sand, the shadows lengthen along the ground, and the texture of the concrete comes up like grain on wood. Five looks, one wall, the same hour on different days.
This is the cold-weather drop. A charcoal wool coat with balloon sleeves, wrapped and tied with a black leather obi belt over herringbone wide-leg trousers. A charcoal cargo trench over black leather trousers and chunky boots. A black leather blazer cut open at the waist over ivory satin trousers. A buckled black leather mini dress with balloon sleeves and a train, and an emerald satin dress draped and trimmed in leather with boots. What repeats is the belt pulled hard, the shoulder built up, the boot with weight in it; what changes is how much the fabric shines. Wool absorbs the light, leather takes it on the edges, satin gives it straight back.
Wear them as they are shot, layered and belted, with the collar up and the hands out of the pockets. They are for the walk from the car to the door in November, and for the door itself. Concrete at sundown is warmer than it looks. The clothes are not.

One courtyard. Board-marked concrete, a wall that runs the whole height of the frame and a floor with the joints showing. We went back at the same hour on different days, the one where the sun gets low enough to slide across the slab and the grey turns to sand. This is the cold one. A charcoal wool coat with balloon sleeves, tied with a leather obi belt. A cargo trench over leather trousers. A leather blazer open over ivory satin. A buckled leather mini dress with a train, and one emerald satin dress, trimmed in leather, with boots. The rule was weight. Belt pulled hard, shoulder built up, a boot you can hear. The only thing that changes from look to look is how much the fabric shines: wool swallows the light, leather takes it on the edges, satin gives it straight back. They are for the walk from the car to the door in November. And for the door. Concrete at sundown is warmer than it looks. The clothes are not.
