Weathered Desert Well Digger Portrait Phoenix Midday in along a market lane in Phoenix

Weathered Desert Well Digger Portrait Phoenix Midday

by Melvin Cannon

Midsummer sun beats down on a weathered face etched with deep lines of labor. Dust coats the skin, settling into the creases around cracked lips and deep-set eyes. The subject stands along a dusty market lane in Phoenix, the harsh tropical bright light casting sharp shadows that define the rugged contours of the cheekbones. Wind whips loose strands of gray hair across the forehead, while a coarse, sun-faded shirt rests on the shoulders. Behind the figure, blurred market stalls and concrete walls create a busy urban backdrop. The texture of the skin reveals years of exposure to the desert heat, against the smooth, dry air. A fine layer of red sand rests on the collarbone.
