that's my good friend Johnny Salami, better known as "Ivo" on DPC. It was fun being able to tell him what to do...and actually have him listen for a change.
Thanks for a fun afternoon Ivo.

This is a great work. The contrast between the windswept landscape and the man in corporate attire is particularly effective. Add the child like baloon and the image loses all seriousness but takes on an air of comic social commentary.
Very unique image. Interesting combination of landscape, portraiture, and I'm not sure where the baloon fits in. I like the overal effect though - I think you could create an interesting portfolio out of these juxtapositions if you could create more in this style.
this is such a great shot...this would be good for people that work in offices to hang up with a caption like "go to your happy place" what a creative mind behind this ..well done!
Hehe something about this picture really catches my eye. The "wrongness" in the shoot LoL. By that I mean the way we are used to see things. A buissness man in the middle of a big field holding a BALLOON! I love it...humor...cute :) hehe
