Description
Seattle, WAFuji XT1
35mm fujinon 1.4
--EDIT 7/26/14--
I want to give a thousand thanks to harrietsfriend for his critique on the original version of this image uploaded. Not only did he see what needed to be done but he even showed me what to do. He suggested straightening the vertical lines and doing a slight crop of some negative space on the left of the original. I'm so glad to have met amazing photographers here on deviantART that actually care about the amateur photographers like myself and to have learned a lot from them and the days yet to come.
--Edit 7/26/14 No.2--
Also I forgot to mention something else that harrietsfriend did with the edit. Notice the play on words? 'HOP' that he saved with the crop? I find that goes amazingly well with this gentleman's posture. It came from out of 'Music Shop'

Thank you! I saw it from across the street and wanted to capture it so bad i jaywalked (ran) across the street to get it, somewhat busy street.

I still find it confusing looking the other way when I cross the street in England. And I never got used to driving here.

Fantastic moment. Good frame without "S" . It forces us to think about the "E" behind this man

It looks like he's sitting on a small stool or something, but it's a great shot nonetheless. : )

I read the sign as saying 'Hope' rather than 'Hop' because of the three lines next to his head inside the frame of the words. I really like that because it adds so many narratives that you could read into it e.g. he is waiting for a phone call/text and hoping that everything is going to turn out okay.
I also love the contrast in this; black and white photography can be so beautiful and this is a perfect example of that.

Wow, really great photo. The composition is perfect, as well as the contrast between different greys, black and white.
The thing I like the most about it is that it's so "normal". It shows the beauty of everyday life. You've captured just the perfect moment, it's really interesting to look at.

Hehehe! He looks like my boss!
Nice capture once more.
I thought he was just short or something. Thanks to the title.
Haha, why is he on that stance though?

Thank you! He was smoking a cigarette outside of where I think he worked. There was a co worker a little further to his left not in the scene.

Ah, so I see. He gotta stop smoking though; it's bad for the health.

Wow that's impressive. I can't even sit like that. And the look on his face says he's pleased with himself as well. I do love how the lines are lined up all straight, and I love the texture of it as well

I think that he is sitting on something though,there is something covered by his upron,just slightly visible from this angle.Although magic shot,really good composition gives impression that is from many years ago

Thanks you! Pretty sure he was leaning against the wall somehow but maybe there is something unseen actually helping to support him. Thank you very much for your detailed comment.
