Smoking old man

[microcosm]

Funny how when you get someone to pose for you,
they agree and yet freeze up in front of the camera.
This old man was enjoying his cigarette, and when I
approached him to take a picture of him, he said ok,
but froze up before the camera...

Guess this is his definition of "look chill"...

Heheh, he has a good pose, though. A man of attitude. ^^

I like it. =)

Would prefer less of his NB shoes (which spoil the feel, imho) and more of his head though. =)

Thanks mate. I feel that the out of place shoes adds to the feel... or are you stereotyping old men cannot wear sneakers... ?

Don't know leh.

Everytime I see NB I think of all the army kias.
I mean, those don't look like whatever SAF has been using these past few years..

But you get the idea I think.. :think:

You are right. But I applaud him for the effort to help give me this picture.

Well, I prefer to try an alternative sometimes to composition.

The man does have attitude. I dont think he froze up. I think thats just his way of showing confidence. Thanks for sharing
