My Job

Is to sit around on two computers all day long in search of the perfect photo to pair with editorial content; I sift through thousands of images per day and am often left a bit...what's the word...oh yeah...disappointed. However, Flickr has come to my rescue and given me a glimmer of hope with hidden gems such as the photo below by Salva Lopez.

The photo is simply beautiful. The warm yellow tones which contrast the cold feeling of solidarity, the slightest catch light in the subject's eyes, the one defined tear in the wall which obstructs the otherwise pristine pattern, the handkerchief crawling into the bottom right hand corner of the frame, and the weathered skin of the man just make it for me.
