Friday Noir: Hold Your Ground
It’s that time of the night.
All the regular mugs are home, snug in their beds.
Contemplative. Content.
For other guys, time is starting to speed up.
Time to walk the hard line.
Time to gain some purchase in this life.
Nothing is given to you. Nothing is expected.
It’s all gotta be earned.
Earn it any way you need to.
‘Cause nobody is lookin’ out for you.
You walk this line yourself.
And hold your ground.
Dal dy dir, as they said in the old country.
Right, baby?

I couldn’t resist keeping this one in color. A little neo-noir today. I love how the different light temps added to this image. But here’s the B&W version. Which do you prefer?

I agree with you, Mark. The color version just stands out more. Talk about perfect lighting!
Just awesome. And yes, the colour here really works for this sort of image, it’s a great mix of cold and warmth.
