I sympathize. In highschool, no one ever wanted to take a picture of me as I was, which is why I have so many pictures of me in suits and ties and all nicely-dressed. People who didn't know me then would look at my pictures today and think I was a preppy-boy. That's not at all how I saw myself, of course, and certainly not the way other people saw me then... but no one wanted to remember me as the reclusive, spiteful cynic, or the happy-go-lucky dark comedian. Just the nice church-going mama's boy who lives down the street. Chad's is a different case, indeed, but I can still sympathize; no one seems to want to remember us for the way we are.
Is that the DART station near Lover's Lane? It looks familiar. I'm not sure if this is the Chad I recall, but if he wanted to be remembered as the somber and thoughtful hermit, I suppose it works (and I could see him as such, if not for the fact that he's also a fun guy to hang with, and the fact that I can't get the image out of my head of him pulling Dan's pants down on his quest for meat). It's not a bad picture, but it needs something. An object, I think, or a person, so you know he's accomplishing something. A writing pad or a book or even looking through a transluscent, twenty-sided die into the sun would spare him from seeming bored (anyone would look bored in this setting, so it's not just Chad). Hope that helps, though I'm sure you've got several ideas that you're working on already. Unfortunately I haven't seen Chad in a while, so I couldn't say what exactly would capture the 'Chadness'.
