Inspiration for a potential book project and photo series I hope to develop about a tragic hero businessman finding the delicate melancholy in such things as a bran muffin for one at precisely 7:52 a.m. or the meaninglessness of existence while crammed into his awkward seat on the subway.

I don’t know. I somehow pictured my protagonist kind of like Jacques Tati.

At the very least, he absolutely needs the right kind of hat.
