4.Jan, 3 hours train to a hot spring resort, the dinner was held in a big hall on G/F, the restaurant fill up with all hotel guest after 6:00pm. During the section, a photographer was working hard to ask every table for picturing, but seems he is welcomed, his appear seems to be a disturbance to the hotel guest's dinner time. I still remember he was wearing a Fuji Film wind breaker, middle age, holding a classic Minolta film SLR with flash gun. the scene make me feeling a bit sad, he must be stressful when the diner reject his asking, may be he don't like this job too, but this is realityˇKsometimes life is not easy. I do respect this Minolta guy, I m sure he has plenty of photographic knowledge then some body just holding an expensive digital camera but even don't know how to develop a roll of film, and never heard what developer is, or how to make a burn toolˇK.

Certainly so filled with pensive mood, very well captured.

Love this shot very much Kevin! Admire your being able to capture and convey the "mood of the moment" so strongly, without having to emply any unusual or sophisticated PP techniques...
