Photographer Comments: I approached the driver with reservation because he was a bit intimidating. In fact, I didn't really expect him to even answer me let alone agree to pose for a photograph. To my surprise he agreed! I find humor in how stiff he looks including his suit which looks a size or two too small. I have no idea who he was waiting for and didn't stick around to find out!
Additionally, Jim thought of search phrases (i.e. terms) that a person who is actively seeking pictures on the Internet related to this particular topic might employ when performing his or her exploration including the words limosene, limo driver, chaffeur, limozene, chaffuer, limousine, chauffur and chauffer, so he included these on this details page as a service to himself and others who would like to download this royalty free photograph! |
