The man in the doorway

I was walking along an Inverness street nine years ago when this fellow caught my eye. He was coming down the stairs towards the exit of a building.  I noticed that his features were uplit in a dramatic way, and asked him if he could step back so that I could take a photo of him. He obliged and then went on his way. Now I wonder; was he real or was he  a ghost?


I've cheated horribly here. Please forgive me.
