Man In Bar, copyright 2000 Jeff Spirer
Yes it's another bar shot, but these days, when the streets are empty, this is where I find them.
Running into a really interesting face - 50% of the time, they won't let you take their photo. The other 50% of the time, there's no way to get a good shot. This was that one other time (OK, my math is a little bit off here) when the really interesting face was willing and in the right place at the right time.

He looks like a lot of the Russian physicists I know.
If I haven't said it before, I love your pics, but this one doesn't
click for me. His face, expresssion and hair are 'different', but not
different enough to carry the expectations created by the rules you've
broken here. There is a drama in having him at the bottom of the
frame which isn't matched by the man himself or the way he's lit. His
eyes are closed and he looks like he might be about to spew, but since
I can't see why I don't care very much. Overall, for me it's an
anticlimax. Sorry.
