Description

Subject Matter:

This photograph was taken during a period in which Greenfield photographed subjects in Los Angeles, many during Bat and Bar Mitzvahs. Addressing themes of loss of innocence at a young age, the series became known as "Fast Forward: Growing Up in the Shadow of Hollywood," or more frequently, "Fast Foward." Greenfield focuses on the influence of money, Hollywood, and popular culture on young subjects, usually young women. 

Physical Description:

A photograph of a young girl ordering a drink at a bar. She holds her arm up, revealing a watch, and wears sunglasses on her head. A large red drink sits in the foreground on the bar and a neon sign hangs in the background.
