Went to a BBQ in Tokyo and met this life long Japanese construction worker with calloused knuckles... may have been a fighter at some time in the past.
A quick shot from the hip with the 50mm F1.4...

Ah, the story really makes this photo. It could be part of a series or a story/reportage. The only problem is the focus and framing only make sense after the viewer reads the description - then it hits home! But on a mostly visual medium like the internet, where people almost never take the time to read or really observe, it might not come to life as much. I nominate this photo.

The knuckles are like my Father's, a lifelong carpenter! Great story telling photo. I nominate this picture.
