The conductor - a photo on Flickriver

The conductor

The conductor on a local train waits for an express to pass. Cropping further could emphasize the expression, but would lose the 'feel' of the train. SP550UZ, Sinaia station, Romania.

Aside: Conductors are sometimes known as "the godfather" (Naşu) by students. Having gone on vacation and spent too much money to afford a ticket, they try to get home on the train by hiding from him. If they get caught their best hope is that he is either generous ("don't ever do this again") or crooked ("how much do you have on you?") enough to risk losing his job and let them stay on board.
