I photographed this man, deep in thought, in the heart of downtown Toronto…I went to the coffee shop with that man still in my mind…and then I wrote this in my journal:
I sit in silence to return to myself.
I left the coffee shop pondering about the mystery and complexity of man’s interior life…
Serenity is golden... But sometimes a few ripples are needed as proof of life.

(anti)eroi a tempo pieno - full time (anti)heroes... "Ritengo - come dimostrano del resto sia l'esperienza che la storia - che i bravi reporter siano persone modeste, capaci di rispetto e di stima per gli altri. Essere reporter significa prima di tutto rispettare la privacy, la personalità e i valori degli altri. La sua vita e il risultato del suo lavoro dipendono da ciò che gli altri gli diranno o faranno per lui. Per essere accettato, deve imparare a vivere tra la gente. Per me un reporter deve essere una persona umile e dotata di empatia". Ryszard Kapuscinski

Great contemplative moment you caught, Virgilio… I’d been wondering the same thing. Beautiful.
hi Jennifer, i’ve been feeling contemplative of late. it is the time of the year and it is catching up on me…and then i saw this man…after i took his picture, silence overwhelmed me…not only did i went inside the coffee shop, i also went inward…and wondered…thanks for the nice words.
‘I sit in silence to return to myself.’
I do that, too.
thanks, Ashley…it’s nice to know i’m not alone.

thanks, Subhan, for the kind words.
Beautiful shot. I wonder what’s in his mind.
thanks, Lou…yes, something deep was going on…there is always the mystery of the unknown…
A very contemplative photograph – and notes in the post. It’s a very nice photo, somewhat melancholy to me, and even with a feeling of loneliness.
thanks, Munchow. yes, i can sense some sadness and loneliness…
Very deep thought and photo!
thanks a lot!
Greetings from Australia,
Very beautiful capture of one pondering about life’s journey. I would have walked up to him and asked him “how things were going” Keep up the greta work and the thought provoking comments.
God bless
