CHICAGO MIDNIGHT
Uploaded: December 09, 2013
I had an urgent job request in Chicago last week. Although I brought my camera gear with me just in case, I was tied up at work until late at night. So I explored inside the hotel where I was staying after work. It was around midnight. A man in his deep thought sitting alone in the elevator area caught my eye. I tried to photograph him discreetly hoping he doesn't notice me and nobody would interrupt his solitude. Before I finished setting up my camera, another man came into frame, sat on the right and started browsing his smart phone. I preferred if the man in thought was left alone at first but the result seems to emphasize his isolation more.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
