The unadorned lighting really adds to the atmosphere on this picture doesn’t it? This is a really great picture!
Lee says
Yeah, couldn’t agree more. It’s a fantastic looking bar, but those lights really do make it. And thanks, very happy the way it came out!
DavidT says
Awesome shot. There is so much atmosphere. I could so enjoy beers here! 🙂
Lee says
Cheers. I’m sure you could!
Ed says
The Japanese Che Guevara. With beer instead of cigar. The revolution starts tomorrow! Great shot, again!
Lee says
Yes, or perhaps the day after tomorrow if he has a bit of hangover!
Thanks a lot! Very happy with this one.

Put this photo in front of a person and ask them when it was taken. I bet you’d get a wide range of answers. As there don’t seem to be any TVs or cellphones in the frame, I bet some people would say it was taken in the 1950s or 60s. It has the look, timeless. Is there an emoji here for a thumbsup? lol
Lee says
Cheers. Maybe, but words mean way more than an emoji!
Yeah, rare these days to avoid a smartphone in the photo. Or one of those ubiquitous Uniqlo down jackets. So very pleased the way this one came out.
Matthias says
How cool his Harrington jacket looks against a down jacket…! Glad they are still available…!
Lovely photo – it’s fascinating to see your works ever evolving and taking new nuances..!
Lee says
I know eh? There is absolutely no comparison at all. It also completes his look perfectly.
And thank you very much, that’s genuinely lovely to hear!
