Through the Smoke
I got close for this one, closer than felt polite, but he didn't seem to mind.
// Story
This story imagines, it does not document. It is what the photograph made me feel.
The smoke moved across his face just as he drew on the pipe and I pressed the shutter without really thinking. For a second I lost his eyes behind it. I'm not sure I could repeat the timing if I tried.
