I was out in Vancouver to sell my D70, when i watched this man slowly falling asleep, so i exposed for midtones, stepped down a full stop and shot directly into the sun, which amazingly was setting right through the window. The light, was caused by a lens-flare that i am AMAZED is falling directly on him.

I wanted to move the bench because it wasnt parallel to where i was sitting, but i think it works just fine... You all know how much i love to shoot into the light ;)

Location is the Waterfront train station, Vancouver Downtown.

#2 in the Bob Dylan series. [link]

Based on the following lyrics;

While riding on a train goin' west,
I fell asleep for to take my rest.
I dreamed a dream that made me sad,
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.

With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon,
Where we together weathered many a storm,
Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn.

By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung,
Our words were told, our songs were sung,
Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied
Talkin' and a-jokin' about the world outside.

With haunted hearts through the heat and cold,
We never thought we could ever get old.
We thought we could sit forever in fun
But our chances really was a million to one.

As easy it was to tell black from white,
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right.
And our choices were few and the thought never hit
That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split.

How many a year has passed and gone,
And many a gamble has been lost and won,
And many a road taken by many a friend,
And each one I've never seen again.

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
That we could sit simply in that room again.
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat,
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.

You're pins, I'm needles, let's play.

I cannot pretend I will not surrender to these dreams in my head.

The moon is dark and I can't sleep

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.

Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)

Cool, man, hadn't seen this one. The rim light on his head and shoulders is great.
