Funny, but there seems to to be a lot of that to be going around. Would you call this photo journalism. Great job of telling a story. The black-and-white works good.
Though most likely done in humor, the subject of this hits a little too close for home for me to find it entertaining or appealing. Perhaps it's the calm expression on the man's face. Sorry, just my personal reaction. And while an emotional reaction to a photo is good, I'm thinking my reaction might not be the one you were intending.
