The image is a bit confusing. This is a young Japanese sushi chef making up an order behind glass petition, he's looking down at some food that he is frying on a hotplate. The offset double exposure across the left side of his face is the reflection of me taking the photo, the two prongs are my fingers on the lens.

A new take on an environmental portrait. Very cool. I like the b&w.

This is really interesting. Kind of has a dream feel to it.

I put this up on the screen to gaze at while I ate my breakfast cereal & drank my coffee. I like the discoveries some photos have to offer when I observe without expectation. At first it was an interesting double exposure effect. I like all the light bouncing around. I noticed he's wearing a uniform, can't tell for sure if he's a cop, but it looks like it. He looks so young to be a cop. And then I noticed the razor-blade-shaped bit of light under his nose & after that it got kind of sad. The glow of light bouncing around started to suggest he might not actually be there, physically. Maybe in real life he was just paying his tab at the cashier, but I can't see what his downcast eyes see. A portrait is supposed to show the eyes in sharp focus with great catchlights, but sometimes without the eyes we can see much more.

Very cool effect. Like he's struggling with his inner demons.
