      This is one of several in this release that appear to have been taken in a mobile set-up rather than the photographer's studio. Note the plain chair, bland backdrop, and the man's unkempt hair and suntanned face below the line of his cap.

      This guy also has that thousand-yard stare -- a veteran, I'd guess.
