Bad liver and a broken heart

Bad liver and a broken heart by torontofotobug.
.. after a five hour shoot we stopped at our local pub on the way home to unwind.

and a little Tom Waits because this shot just seems to call for it..

Bad Liver and a Broken Heart


Well I got a bad liver and a broken heart
yea I drunk me a river since you tore me apart
and I don't have a drinking problem
cept when I can't get a drink
And I wish you'd a known her
we were quite a pair
she was sharp as a razor
and soft as a prayer
so welcome to the continuing saga
she was my better half
and I was just a dog
and so here am I slumped
I been chippied I been chumped
on my stool
so buy this fool, some spirits and libations
it's these railroad station bars
with all these conductors and the porters
and I'm all out of quarters
and this epitaph is the aftermath
yea I choose my path
hey come on Cath, he's a lawyer,
he ain't the one for ya
and no the moon ain't romantic
it's intimidating as hell
and some guy's trying to sell
me a watch
And so I'll meet you at the
bottom of a bottle of
bargain Scotch

I'm almost 100% positive he lives on the west coast. He was born in California.

This shot is just right in so many ways. The muted palette and quality and soul of it all. It has it all. It feels nice not seeing his face.

It is bokeh, double shot, in a small glass. Great moody shot, and I love the barely there colours (like I said somewhere else, but I like the phrase so will repeat it at will).

Thanks for liking this. If I tell you how I took it, will you promise not to laugh? It was after a five hour shoot, we were chimping shots in the pub on the way home and I put the camera down on the table when the barmaid came to deliver the drinks. I looked down the end of the room and thought to myself, cool shot. Without looking thru the viewfinder, I just randomly focused and took the shot. So that explains the random focus and lack of anything done well. ;-)
