This photographic slide depicts a young man digging a trench. The man's bare back is to the camera and he stands hip deep in the trench, bent over holding the wooden handle of a digging implement with both hands. He wears belted blue jeans, a cowboy hat, and a blue bandana around his neck. The slide mount has text on the reverse that reads "processed by/ rogers color lab corp./ new york."
