Show Me Folk

Photographed at sunset, Betse and Clarke Pointing. Betse is on the left side of the photo, we only see her profile view which shows a middle aged white woman wearing thin metal framed glasses. Her light colored hair blowing in the wind. Beside her is Clarke, a middle aged white man with a longer brown beard and mustache. He wears a newsboy styled cap and a black shirt tucked into a plaid button down, a black jacket over the ensemble. Behind them is the sky and a body of water.
