The image was exposed on 35mm Kodak Tri-X 400 black & white film stock using a Pentax Asahi Spotmatic II camera with a Asahi Pentax 28mm f/3.5 lens.
Photographer Comments: I think the guy on the left didn't realize he was in the frame, which migh account for his somewhat "laxadasial" facial expression. I used a wide angle 28mm lens which probably gave him the impression I was only focusing on the man in the middle. Of course, had he known he was in the picture he probably wouldn't have looked any different!
