Mike



Mike is a security guard at One State House Square.  He was half an hour away from finishing a 16-hour shift.  Still, he was in a good mood and his shirt was as clean and well-pressed as if it had just come off the hanger. 

Mike had a birthday one week ago and was given a promotion that day.  He is proud of his work as a security guard.

    Perhaps all that overtime income is what put a smile on his face.

    He looks pretty darn good to have just finished a 16-hour shift!! Most companies could use more employees like Mike! I do enjoy your "people" shots, Jack! Enjoy your day!

    A 16-hour shift seems quite heavy... A belated happy birthday to Mike!

    Wow, 16 hours is a long shift. I'm not sure I'd still be smiling.

    He has a good attitude for putting in those kinds of hours. Maybe while you took this his company was photographing you on the security video system.

    Well captured! The thought of a double shift makes me double glad I'm retired.

    Always best to keep on the right side of security men! I do 13 hour shifts and usually look a mess at the end of it - mind you I don't even look that smart at the start of a shift!

    I'm pretty sure I would not look that good after a 16 hour shift, but then I'm a lot older than he is!

    Another great photo, but a 16 hour shift!! He deserves both a medal and a pay raise.

    Wonderful portrait. Congratulations to Mike on his promotion and his birthday and also on his pride in his work. Every man should be blessed with being a proud man at work.
