So much here to see Ryan.. the bar, the midday drinking, the reflection in the mirror,..I think I see more than father’s eyes here. Forgive me if I’m reading too much. Very deep, indeed!

Ryan, this is so cleverly done. I love the mirror effect. The message is sad. Something tells me it’s not fictional.
