 I found this young man at the Santa Ana train station, our regional depot. His name is Giovanni, originally from Mexico. As you can tell, he was quite amenable to a portrait! I sent him a full res file for his efforts.

I like the mix of elements in this -- the elaborate hair contrasts with the wrinkled jacket and t-shirt. Fairly intense gaze, almost a sultry look... well done. The B&W really works.

the first to view is his hair style...posture, background with it's diagonal lines, and gaze works well with the bw treatment. 8

What a fantastically stylish looking subject! Like the expression, almost a little arrogant.

Very striking. Your title is perfect. The background with the blur and the rails gives this a strong feeling of transience -- as does his slightly wrinkled suit.
