Not Getting It

In my hometown, lots of people go to work then sit in front of the TV and do nothing.
Many of the residences don't care about anything going on outside of their four walls, as long as it does not effect them. My attitude is why do they even bother leaving their work clothes?

The photo is clearly showing someone in work attire with no expression on their face. The negative spaces and small depth of field makes it look like that person is staring into nothing. From what you can pick up in the background shows very little detail. Also being shot in black and white also gives it a dull feel. There is nothing in the photograph to suggest anything from happening. A dull and monotone image accurately describes where I grew up.
