Photograph by Brian Day

This photograph is one of the 50 finalists of the Smithsonian annual photo contest. The other entrants can be found here.

What I love about this photo is the unending stories this photo tells. The way the shoes are set up, the broken fences and overgrown vegetation, the old run down brick buildings that border the photo. The trees and sky are lifeless, and this mysterious man dressed in the business attire of a different era, makes this photo extremely interpretative.
