Another dull wet day with no opportunities for outdoor photography.
This was taken while I was waiting for a friend to join me for coffee.
This welcoming brasserie (yes, we have them in Dundalk) is in the
building which used to house the newspaper where I worked for
twenty years. This level held the giant printing press which rumbled
into action every Friday night producing that week's paper. There's
a nightclub upstairs where I used to write stories on the only
electric typewriter in the office.

Olympus E-P1
1/10s f/3.5 at 14.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Ah, the days when printing presses and editorial were in the one building. Clever candid, and the use of sepia tone works well to set the mood.

This is quite interesting and well done. Interesting light fixtures - modern and chandelier? Nicely composed, wondering about the man, enjoying the sheen in foreground... and I like the mood! V

A wonderful candid portrait. He looks so bored. :) It must bring back so many memories when you go there.
