I assume he can’t afford a better office chair, because he’s dumping too much money into expensive amateur radio equipment… which leads me to think you’re always going to be in second place with him, behind his hobby. Some guys stand in front of cars, some hold guns, this guy is into radios, be prepared for long conversations about them.
He uses cheap PC speakers, so he has no taste in music. Which goes along with the idea he doesn’t have time for music, because it would just interfere with his radio hobby, guy only has one set of ears and all.
Looks like he uses a PC instead of a Mac, probably because he uses some sort of custom software with all that electronics equipment monopolizing his desk space, and it isn’t availible on the Mac platform. It probably also means he isn’t a stoner hippie, since most of those have migrated away from PCs. Because of this his emaciated look is probably from spending too many long hours chasing dynamic number stations instead of enjoying the occasional weekly meth binge.
I don’t think he is ‘into pc’s’ though. That setup looks very stock (crappy stock speakers and all, from a $199 computer + monitor + speakers + corded mouse Wal-Mart special of some sort.
He doesn’t know how to properly reduce image size, and the pixels are killing me. This lack of attention to detail mkes me wonder what other important details he’s neglecting in his life. My guess is that he has problems relation to others on a personal level, a sort of… inability to empathize.
I can’t tell what’s going on outside, he could be on the roof of a building, that could be a deck out near some sort of waterfront, who knows. But at least he has light colored curtains, which shows that he welcomes, instead of shuns, the light (obviously not a gamer, reflective glare, rawr).
The curtain is also open, which means he is either in a place where nobody is likely to see him from outside, or he isn’t so paranoid as to think people are always watching him, and he doesn’t care if they are. This could mean he shits and pees with the door open, and is an exhibitionist… But the more likely explanation is simply that he pulled it open because his camera kept flashing until he did.
based on the scattered array of loose wires dangling behind his desk he probably isn’t prone to get all OCD over an occasional mess. Some people would feel an overwhelming urge to tie/wrap that stuff up together if it were all visible like that.
Maps on the wall, but a distinct lack of notes, pictures, fantasy posters… there’s no soul there, anywhere. Take him out of the picture and you’d have a picturesque image for a radio enthusiasts catalogue, it doesn’t even look like he has a very interesting windows desktop… Does he even have a soul? He’s wearing all greys and blacks… I’m starting to think he doesn’t. I mean… except for the map colors, and the blue of a boring looking windows desktop, and the cheap ugly cherry wood look of cheap particle board furniture… this could be a greyscale image…
I don’t think any of this makes him bad, but perhaps a bit unimaginative, sterile perhaps. Dependable, but boring. Hell, he could have at least taken the time to photo shop in a blue sky outside that sliding glass door.
