This picture is so moony. It features the typical light/dark contrast of lunar imagery, in a very holistic, consistent way: the background is actually all black, just like the night firmament, and the subject’s deliberately yet comfortably centered face is pale and round. He is obviously listening and internalizing, rather than the solar action of radiating and demonstrating. His posture is soft, rounded, and protective. His clothes look really comfortable and he is wearing snuggly socks. The stubble and the exposed ankle give the impression, “I am in my comfortable space, and this is where I can be unkempt.” He is also cradling something, both nurturing it and being nurtured by it. And ALSO, what he’s cradling is an old-school computer! Nostalgia. Look at all the nostalgia in those eyes!
