Weathered Mechanic in Trabzon Old Quarter

Late autumn light reflects off the dark, wet stones of the Trabzon old quarter, illuminating a mechanic standing in the narrow alley. His face bears deep lines and a weathered texture, against the black grease coating his hands and fingernails. The background dissolves into soft bokeh, isolating his gaze against the blurred historic architecture. Overcast skies from a clearing storm diffuse the brightness, creating a soft, even glow on his skin. one drop of water rests on the edge of his collar, while the oil stains on his fingers catch the faint silver sheen of the ambient light.
