Identification notes
What is known
Photograph supplied for The Shadow Zone: a snowman built against a stucco wall beside a downspout, dressed in a grey Reebok hooded puffer jacket with the hood up. The face carries plastic googly eyes behind a pair of real black-framed spectacles, a carrot nose, a pebble smile, and a cigarette set in the mouth. Unlike the found images around it in this set, this is an original capture rather than a derivative. Maker, location, and date are not recorded here; the exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
