Description
Sony Alpha ILCE-A6000 Shutter 1/80 | Aperture f/4.0 | ISO 1000A Saraiki laborer on the phone, busy chatting away with what sounded like a family member back home in Pakistan, while taking a cigarette break. I was on the phone with my wife at the time as well when I was presented with a photo opportunity that was too good to miss. So I set the camera on my knee just as he was taking a deep drag on his cigarette and took a quick shot of the gentleman as he started expelling the smoke out of his lungs.
Old Souq - Bur Dubai, U.A.E.

Machines enable multitasking that we would otherwise avoid? Fortunately we use so little of our brains they should be elastic enough to adapt..... in a few generations.

I love the angle of this shot so much, it's got such depth! And I think I see a happy face beyond the smoke there, I'm glad you told us the story behind it!

first look creeped my out, what with the smoke obscuring half his face. cool moment capture.

Two shots, technically speaking. The first one was by accident. The camera has a rather soft shutter release button and is easily pressed - as it happened with me just as I was placing the camera on my knee. The photo that you're seeing here is the one that I took, and not my knee.
