smoker

barry great charactor

What a dramatic light!

yes, that and the tight framing make this into a fantastic portrait!

I do not like smoking & tend to ignore phthographs with cigarettes (OK, call me pedantic or whatever). However, I admit that I have returned to this photo a couple of times. I have tried (as if one could to this) to understand why he looked so addicted to the thing between his fingers. Seeing his hand to be much older than himself; one can imagine his working conditions, working hours and even his salary. Perhaps this is the easiest and the cheapest way for him to get pleasure; if not the only one... That hand... Great portrait...

Foto speciale ! complimenti. Paul
