I Won't Put Most Of Your Face In

As I think I may have mentioned before my brother is not particularly keen on having his photo taken but I managed to persuade him by saying "I won't put most of your face in". He did utter "what's wrong with my face then!" but did find this funny and then agreed to pose accordingly.
My 'inspiration' for today's image was actually an advert in the classified section of our local paper, the Kent Messenger, for their services in helping to "find the best jobs in Kent". For some reason the guy in the promotional advert is covering nearly his entire face but for one eye. I thought it would make for an interesting shot subject to the co-operation of my brother as an (un)willing model.
My brother has been having a really tough time at work over the last 12 - 18 months. He has had to work through all the lockdowns (he is unable to work from home) and travel to and from London every weekday - he leaves home at 6.40 am each morning and doesn't get home again until after 7 pm.. He has hardly had any time off either in the last few months apart from when he had to be off work for a week with a bad back.
By the time he gets to the weekend he is out on his feet. So Saturdays are reserved for a day of almost complete rest (apart from an early morning run which he says helps clear his mind after his working week), a pint at one of our locals, The Poppy Fields, a few glasses of well deserved wine in the afternoon and some good telly!
Two of our current favourite programmes are on Channel 5 - Walking Britain's Lost Railways (presented by Rob Bell), a fascinating mixture of travelogue, history, geography and engineering (never thought this would be my cup of tea!) and A Year In Provence With Carol Drinkwater, which relates to her love of Provence in the South of France where she's lived for the last 35 years with her husband, Michel.
