Initial impression of man

My initial impression of the man was that he looked scruffy and unpleasant. This originally made me think that the man doesn’t have great living conditions, and that he probably doesn’t really care about what other people think. But then when I look more closely at the detail of the image I can see other aspects that make me think otherwise. He is smoking, so he obviously makes enough money to buy the cigarettes, but this also suggests to me that he’s not too concerned about his health. The fact that his trousers are patched up, suggests to me that either he can’t afford a new pair, or that he wears whatever, as long as it fits, for example he’s not concerned about what he looks like, just as long he can wear it. He doesn’t look grumpy, he looks quite positive, especially with his pose as well, it makes him look quite hopeful, but his overall look opposes that and puts a negative on his appearance.  When I found out who he was, I was shocked about how well Doug Bilmaier has done in his career. But looking at the image after finding out who he is, I can see many more features which all of a sudden appear which suit his actual appearance more than the 1st idea of him that I originally had in mind.
