This makes me sad, and I wonder what the back story is. To me, this feels like two people choosing to be unhappy despite their accomplishments and relationships. Both look like they're frustrated because they're not getting what they want / expect, rather than choosing to cherish and enjoy what they have. Like I said, it makes me feel sad.
Again another great social commentary on male/female roles. I love what this photo says about the state of man/woman relationships. It is sad but the truth speaks loudly.
You've watched all the details, including the crack in the wall behind you.
Lovely b&w, in which - as far as I can see, nearly all the steps of the grey ladder are present. A tad overexposure on the white top and left shoulder of the lady, but I can't have it all, right :)
