Having to ride the train home after work is bad enough, but when you are crammed so tightly into each car that your face is smashed up against the window the ride home becomes a trip straight to hell.
Photographer Michael Wolf decided to capture images of commuters at their most (de)pressed, all hope lost and face pressed to the glass, in his series entitled Tokyo Compression.
The images are at once uncomfortable and undeniably humanistic, and something anyone who has been forced to ride on public transportation in a major city during rush hour can relate to.

I'd just be worried about his after-fun snack.

Obviously not, but his story checked out: There was a witness, supposedly they are common there, and he didn't look like the type of guy to photoshop something like that.
But who knows. All I'm saying is you can't just automatically assume an amazing photograph had to have been faked.
"he didn’t look like the type of guy to photoshop something like that."
What does the typical photoshopper look like?
I'm not saying the picture is shopped; I was just hinting at the fact that so many urban legends and fake items hit the news all the time.
