    You’ve got to let us know the story behind this picture. I like that it seems like he has been caught in the act. Great as always.

      Thanks! I honestly don’t know. Did think about asking him, but it just felt wrong. Seemed like he may have had enough hassle for one day without me adding to it. But I know precisely what you mean. There’s a real story here, but what exactly is the big question…

      Cheers! Yeah, I know what you mean. It would seem a bad day is a fair bet, but beyond that is anybody’s guess…

    Man, there’s something wrong about this. His jacket and bag discarded. That childish kinda way he’s sat. He looks really messed up. I hope he’s ok.

      Yes, I think you’re probably right. It was a very odd situation. He smiled at me and said hello after I’d taken the photo, but of course that doesn’t really mean anything. Fingers crossed it was simply a bad day, and things looked much better for him the following morning.

    How in the world does anyone even sit like this?

      Not really sure. If I did somehow manage it, I’d probably not be able to get up again…
