 A song by Plain White T's that (at least here in Dallas) gets way over played. The idea is that this shot fits the line that say's:

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar

I just think it's a good fit.

Too much going on. Is he playing the guitar or talking on the cell phone or taking a break from playing the guitar, what are we to gather from this?

AWESOME colors in the eyes, haha someone mistook this to be mine and i was like hah i wish. I love the depth of field, his guitar is still in focus but he seems to fade away focus wise really putting a lot of punch in his eyes. great angle. his hair really adds some motion into his face too. ps i love that song haha
