What draws me to a subject and composition like this must be the mystery expressed. Long-suffering wives or husbands will admit they perceive in odd moments a chasm between themselves and their spouse — something remains elusive, the more so for a person we have never met. I do not know this young man in deep thought lit by a yellow bulb, slouching behind keyboards in a crowded night club. I believe emotional adversity has befallen him; a wound has festered where resentment now has a medium in which to grow. I think readers of this photograph would agree he is in profound reflection upon a currently vexing situation in his life.
