The impression I get is that he's posed against the brick wall, seemingly staring down the camera like it's the pistol loaded with a bullet about to administer his sentence for some crime punishable by execution.
It's also a nice juxtaposition of a character straight from a farm onto a location that must have been new and shiny in the industrial age, but could now be in any weathered downtown area, around the corner from a bar serving PBR and Fireball and a sushi restaurant.
If the intent was to leave the story up the viewer, you have succeeded greatly because I've been looking at this for a long time and it's still fascinating. |
