The Quiet One on the Bench

— Photos
Black and white photo of a platform area at Coventry railway station, with an older man in a shirt, tie and checked shorts sitting on a bench reading a newspaper, a large advertising poster on the wall to his left showing Paul Hollywood and the text "THE ONLY BAKING BOOK YOU'LL EVER NEED" alongside a smaller image of the book "BAKE" by Paul Hollywood, a "COVENTRY" sign on the wall above the bench, a "Gentlemen" sign for the toilets on the right, a digital departure board, and a queue of travellers with suitcases walking towards the platform.

A man on a bench at Coventry station, fully absorbed in his newspaper while everyone else strides past with suitcases and rucksacks, making for the platform. He’s wearing a shirt, shorts, and a shoulder bag
whose strap cuts across his chest. A huge Paul Hollywood stares down from an advert for the “only baking book you’ll ever need”, entirely ignored. The “Gentlemen” sign on the right, the “COVENTRY” lettering on the brickwork, the queue of travellers walking past and it all frames up nicely around him without him noticing at all. Which is the whole point, really.
