Description
A solitary customer enjoys a cup of hot coffee during a lull in business at a diner in Omaha, Nebraska. Louie M's Burger Lust on Vinton Street has been around in one form or another since 1980 when they started a catering service at the location. The food was good and it wasn't too many years before they opened a breakfast cafe which has grown to a breakfast and lunch restaurant known for its hamburgers and onion rings; the diner side is just a small part of the location. Louie M's was used in the 1995 film, "Gone in the Night".

Spencer McDonald
Excellent black and white shot. I feel a sense of drama here. Like... what is the man thinking? Is he between jobs, wives, or starting over from a nasty divorce? This one really pops to life with real life moments. Nice.
