Description Peeked into the lobby of a building @ UT Campus, found these two guys (part of a night cleaning crew). It was very strange, one seemed very apathetic, just haunched over doing his job..the other guy was just standing there though..almost deep in thought with his hands behind his back..

..I see that as a common theme in most other people, too. Are you one who will go through life never bothering to look up or do you make sure to stop and ponder the infinite every now and then?

did you do a lot of dodging and burning or is the just the natural lighting?

If I had more time . . . I like to think I would ponder. And I agree with ~SunSunich that they look like ghosts.

I think the one just standing there is not interested in life while the one working is...
I like the contrast between those guys & the room... they're like ghosts. )

Great shot in that dim light, don't tell me that you had the tripod with you! The colors are very nice, the composition too.

Beautiful shot. The angles, distance, and composition are just perfect. I also like your statement about the two men's composure being common among others... makes sense.
Wonderful work!

The colors are great and perfect for the meaning of the photo. I love how the rest of the image is sharp, except the two figures. Great work.

I love the detail of the blurry characters against the defined background... Is that long exposure?

maybe that one guy was just the watchman spy and you only think he was contemplating life. he fooled you, he was assessing the behavior of all around him, to take that information back and report on his findings.

hehe.. awesome photo. as always, you never cease to amaze

hahah- Noooo I don't like your version! not a watchman spy..


..I like to think of him as the quiet philosopher rebel janitor man..lol

ahh who am I kidding, you are probably right though (he did look kind of fishy). a guy can dream though, can't he? thank you for your comment
