Description

This is a black and white photo of a man standing in front of a tightly wrapped cotton bale. The cotton bale is directly next to the man, and its wrapping has been torn horizontally at the man's chest level. The man is stretching a handful of cotton between his two hands. The man is wearing a white Navy uniform with black accessories, and he is looking down toward the cotton in his hands with his tongue sticking out slightly in concentration. The background is composed of other cotton bales stacked on the stage that the cotton bales are stacked on.
