you're up early! Nice shot!

I'm gonna guess tender. I usually do that when I'm in some kind of sensitive thought haha. Great photo.

I fell in love with this photo. The background is stunning. And he is just beautiful and his hands are so gentle.

Hook The Look

I like his outfit….
He looks reflective in a sad way…

He seems very reflective to me and british.

Agree with Northern Sky–pensive.

Agreed : he looks like a priest. His hands call for a book to hold.

there's an air of melancholy in this picture. he looks like somebody just broke up with him. :-(

Lovely photo!

i think good style is more about the spirit and less about the clothes. this past weekend, i had a t-shirt on and simple shorts…and i got a ton of random comments. ive worn it a million times but this particular time i must have been in a good mood.

LOVE this photo.

Ahh. Being himself.

He looks as if he might be waiting on something or someone…there's such a distance look in his eyes…Talk about a great capture you got one

I would say reflective, or given the hour maybe sleepy. I love your work, very inspiring.

I would say… regretful.

Simple is right, I always say less is more.

I would say heartbreakingly reflective.

I love how the green gem on his necklace pops against the black.

i find it reflective. he appears to searching for something not readily available.

Dope shoes!!!

Yup, that's awesome.

Very nice capture.

Doofus?

I love love love this photo. His expression seems wistful, the way you feel when you've just seen someone off at the airport…?

I saw someone commented and told you to come to Helsinki, Sart. I so agree. Asap!

perhaps a dance class would help with the posture and the seeming lack of confidence. might be fun too.

Your photography is wonderful and I love just about everything about this blog. I am particularly grateful that you have almost single handedly turned me on to style and fashion once again. These are interests that I had left behind many years ago. Having said that, I must note that the only thing this picture says to me is "dweeb." However, it is also the first time that I have been moved to comment, so perhaps it is the most effective post ever? If art is meant to elicit a response then this certainly qualifies. I absolutely adore this darn blog, even if this particular picture leaves me thinking that his musings consist of things like, “I am standing here listening to an inner monologue consisting of chirping sounds and the occasional baby talk.”

He looks melancholy.

I've been a long time reader of your blog and always wondered how I would pose if you ever asked me to. I'm also a very behind the lense personality although most people would say I don't dress very "behind the lense." Looking at this guy, I'd think he's not new to "posing" or VERY new to it. It's almost apologetic, in a dreamy, in the moment but not OF the moment pose. I'm so happy to see one of my long limbed peeps too.

BTW – I had my first sighting of you on Sunday leaving Central Park Summerstage!!! I couldn't get to my camera fast enough. Next time.

GOD, I LoV3 Those Shoes, Margiela Perhaps?

This post really sounds very interesting,for which there is no specific reactions portrayed in the picture.Hence,the model had perfectly made a great confusion to the reader's minds,I still like this.

Very Cool!

I think he looks quite sad.

I'm really into the all black outfit and the necklace. Does anyone know what kind of shoes those are?

Gormless.

Someone said it earlier: "eyes searching for the horizon"
I took that he was waiting for someone, something… Knee bent, playing with his hands as if he cannot wait and does not know what to do with them. His eyes are squinting into the distance as if he is trying to tell if something has arrived. Obviously this is just my opinion — this picture is a perfect example of how art can invoke so many different emotions for different people.

This guy looks like the [evil]* version of "The Dancer" from a few months back.

"Evil" may not be the right word.

It's hard to imagine him doing anything evil with such a docile little mien. I think this might be The Least Threatening Person I Have Ever Seen.

He looks like he would cry if he dropped something.

his expression is so cute and sad. i want to cry.

I really like the outfit but I hate his facial expression. I get so much more spirit from your other photos and looking at this one the thing that stands out most is that he looks uncomfortable. It looks kind of funny; like he stretched his neck out and tilted his head as if to look somber. It just doesn't really look natural.

the lost boy.
an over grown kid.. something very teenager-like about him!

I really appreciate this photo — a clear link between fashion and photo journalism. It's a reminder that those photographed have deeper lives than we can imagine.

I'd say not ready.

He is waiting. He's in the present only in so far as it leads to the future. A really beautiful moment of perfectly stilled, perfectly contained departure.

I really like what he is wearing. The jacket reminds me of one I have similar to what he is wearing. I like the contrast of his dark outfit against the colours of the background.

does he need to go to the washroom?

nice shoes though.

"heartbreaking? tender? calm? sad? reflective?"

lost. confused. isolated. maudlin.

what kind of sneakers are those?

Reminds me of the great photo by August Sander of the young gypsy man in a jacket and collarless shirt–somewhat forlorn.

His pose is almost wistful, but his face looks pissed. Or like maybe the sun is a little too bright, so he has to squint.

I really like this photo. His pose, monochromatic outfit, and facial expression. I'd say reflective.

Hmmm…I think "angst" when I see this guy.

I love it :] I'd have to say it was a reflective nostalgia.

nice look, but not quite self confident

a little too nerdy for me, although I love the drama of it.

He needs to smile, the men in Florence radiate a much more pleasant air of happiness, perhaps he is trying to match his personality to his "intellectual style clothing"

He reminds me of Tom Cruise mixed with someone else. Either way, I'd have a coffee with him.

If Jacques Brel had been in The Strokes…

Ta shi Simple Jack!

that's cute ;-)

he is picchio!
