in a diner on a dreary day

1. This is such a great photo

on so many levels. Your black and white contrasts are spot-on. Being a cook, anything to do with that subject matter always appeals to me. ;-) Additionally, the gentleman on the right certainly brings an added interest to the whole composition.

2. The gentleman made the image. Without him it would have

been just another still life. He seemed to be the type of character you'd find in a diner. He probably holds his cigarettes between his thumb and index, palm up pinky down.

The diner was actually a Mideast restaurant. I had to have my Shawarma fix. The lamb was a bit dry, but that's OK. Wasn't the first time I've had lamb on the dry side, and won't be the last. Right down the way is an India restaurant that sells goat. I will have to try that. Goat is good.

3. Fabulous photo, Alfredo

You have such a great eye.

4. Thanks. I still have one good eye, the other has shown

signs of Macular Degeneration.

I just got back from a park, so tonight I will be doing a bit of processing.
