NY Times Lens Blog: Favorite Photo of the Day

My favorite photo is #7 of the "From Smartphones to Museum Walls" slideshow. It was taken by a photographer named Maria Sander Nilsson in Lund, Sweden. There are three reasons why it caught my eye:

1.  The juxtaposition and contrast in the use of light and dark of the photo appealed to me

2.  This photo could be used to provide an interesting segue into the man's life story

3.  The man has his head in his arms, almost as if he's despairing about something that happened in his life. The light and dark seems to compliment this theme, as if he's having an internal battle between hope and despair.
