Questions

My first impression of the man when I saw this photo was that he is a man who has little money. I based this judgement on the fact that he was wearing clothes that looked worn and his trouseres are patched up. However, I then noticed that the man was smoking so it occured to me that he maybe does have more money than I first thought. I immediately assumed that the man was possibly homeless, just judging him on his appearance. This assumption changed slightly when i looked at his body language. He is standing very tall and proud in the picture which makes me assume that he is a confident and possibly successful man.

When i found out who the man in the photo was, Doug Bilmaier the head of Ralph Lauren's vintage department, I was suprised but not completely shocked. Once i new his real identity, the aspects of his appearance that made me assume that he was a poor, possibly homeless man began to fade and the body language and other parts of appearance that made him more stereotypical of the man he really is, stood out more.
