Fong do you know the standard fashion to smoke in China?Surely it is not in China but this elegant art to smoke is different in western country rarely like this,(I do not smoke...)It is your pict shoot.It is important a photographer must keep some street life view as your for the memory.For that I must know what is the real life....

Fantastic capture Fong.
Apart all the comments below (I agree with all of them 100%) I can add I like how the shirt is recalling the game board blenging objects and human being all in one...

CIS23-May-2007 13:56
His intensity about making the right move shows. The way you caught that look and moment of smoke whirling adds to the story.
Dr. Michael G. Mathews23-May-2007 13:39
Great in mono. Love the smoke prominently in the foreground.

Terrific shot in B&W.. v
Raymond23-May-2007 12:40
I can almost hear that man thinking... he is totally focused on what he's doing... if I do that, he'll do that and then I'll... and the man himself, we can tell a lot about him, shirt is very neatly pressed, fancy watch, a pen in his shirt to be ready to write his things, so as not to forget them... You captured a whole slice of life in... 1/25 sec. This is not a static photo... it moves, it speaks... it's life.
Very well done Fong
