his is a photograph of a track and field event from the late 20th century. The picture is black and white. A boy around the age of 15 stands in the middle of a shot put circle. The inside of the circle is smooth gray cement. The outside of the circle is a rough white cement that takes the shape of a square. In front of the boy and the circle is a large expanse of sand. He is facing forward, with a cold aluminum ball the size of a grapefruit in his right hand. He has the ball propped against his neck and shoulder blade. His left hand is pointed straight in front of him towards the front of the circle. His right knee is backstepped and bent, while his left knee is stretched toward the same direction as his hand. He is tensed and prepared to launch the ball as far into the sand as possible. Multiple onlookers are watching him in the background.
