Reading notes option 3

I see this man sitting at Mama Mia's every morning by himself.  He is always just staring off into the distance smoking his cigarette.  I was very intrigued by him.  Today, I went up to him to see if I could learn more about him.  I sat down at his table and discovered that he spoke virtually no english.  The owner of Mama Mia's stood by me and translated for me.  He was such a sweet old man and told me (in greek) that i should be in a vase of water because I am pretty like a flower.  When he agreed to let me take his picture I wanted to try a couple different things.  With this picture, I wanted to have it be from his perspective.  He is never looking at the other customers or interacting with anyone; he is just always staring out into the distance.  I set the aperture low to create a shallow depth of field to blur the background.  My hope was to create mystery in what he was gazing at.  I didn't feel as though his eyes or the front of his face were the most interesting part about him; his disposition was what intrigued me.
