I think you've caught it exactly. He seems: at peace.
Which, in a sense, makes it profoundly disturbing that someone snagged him
at that moment (did he react a moment later to the SNICK of the camera?
did his dog?), yet the picture does, indeed, seem very tranquil. I'd be
really curious about the title of the book, because if it is a good
reproduction of the photograph, I'd love to get a copy.
I know this sounds as if I'm contradicting myself a good half-dozen times,
but I never claimed to be rational at this time of night. (I suspect that
the period between midnight and two a.m. -- for those of us asleep and
writing SOMETHING on paper or keyboard -- should be reserved for love
letters and reflections on the day, and probably not for messages destined
for mailing lists....)
But there I go, contradicting myself yet again!
