Chai shop

Dohuk, Iraq

This chai shop is always full of old peshmerga reminising.
I had taken a few photos of the guys at the other end but not these blokes.
They were very disappointed I hadn't included them.
Nearly all of them have war wounds of some kind or are amputees.
Despite this they still have a great outlook on life.
Very strong characters.

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/30s f/6.3 at 18.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

great shot.

Wonderful clarity in the shot. I like how the line of men diagonally travel through the image. Lots of character here for sure.

If they wat a photo - better not argue. The shot's certainly full of character.
