people The Marlboro man ---------- ωωIMG_7995_crpd

What a surprise, I thought the Marlboro Man had passed on years ago. Surprised to see he's still puffing away in this very well composed photo.

p.s.: You do know of course that this reference is lost on anyone under the age of 30 - maybe even 40 - which means it will be understood by just about everyone here on pn - or at least every American.

luv this classic and dramatic portrait, Michail. very real and true to life guy that you have captured... apparently these ciggies will never kill the Marlboro man, lol ;-} dp

The toning and pose is classic. Well captured.  The malboro man as featured in all of the ads for cigarettes died of lung cancer. Just this morning, I read that air pollution in China is killing 4,400 people every day (well over a million every year). Holy Smokes!
