Description  
A lone man having a smoke on the sidewalk. Frozen moment.

One funny thing about small towns is the fact that you can bumb into same people over and over again at the town. Such has been the case with this older gentleman. Not only have I seen him last winter while taking the shot below but at least two times after that just while driving by that exact location, that apartment building in which he obviously lives. Now today I was sitting in my car on the side of the street while my wife went to the pharmacist and lo and behold there he was again! The angle / distance of the shot was not to my liking but I had to shoot just for the fun of it and just for the curiosity's sake.

I wonder how many cigarettes he has smoked on that spot between the two shots.

Thanks bro! The shooting location was not good but somehow it perhaps adds sort of 'authentic feel' to the frame?..
