Two men wrestle with the underside of a jacked-up blue car on a muddy street.

This color photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Pigment prints are made with pigment-based inks on paper, a process generally chosen for stable colour and fine tonal detail in contemporary photography. Color photograph of a blue car propped up at its front end, with one man crouched at the bumper and another lying beneath it. The ground is muddy and wet, and faded murals cover the wall at left. Pencil title and signature sit below. It is 10.5 inches wide and 7.75 high.

Repairs like this are a team sport with mud as the referee.
