It’s all about the story …
As we left our Old Town Alexandria restaurant that night, Pauline pointed across the street and said “Look Laurie! That would make a great picture; like film noir” (that’s not an exact quote, by the way).
And she was right! All that was missing was a guy or gal, leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette.
Well, a tripod was missing, too, but thanks to Pauline for being the inspiration behind this shot.
Monochromia 
Humphry Bogart in a fedora is leaning against the wall in the forefront. Even though his hat is pulled low, I can see that it’s him. I’d know that profile anywhere.
Nice shot, Laurie.
