An image of a man reading a book is, in itself, not incongruous. Yet in this photo, that man happens to sit upon a concrete bench, while leaning as far back as he can against the edge of a concrete wall. A triangle of space appears behind his back as he stretches out to gain maximum stability. Totally absorbed in his book, he seems to defy the laws of comfort altogether – offering me a chance to make a decidedly incongruous photograph.
