up in smoke

an almost eerie sense of calm pervades the house these days, although packing for the imminent move has already begun....pals drop by frequently, and are always a welcome distraction from the more pressing tasks...the currently comfortable housing situation is soon set to go up in smoke, yet just ahead lies another adventure...this friend asked if he could light up, and I readily agreed, opening a couple of windows...temps are unusually warm at the moment, today reaching 30C/85F...not bad for late April on the North-West coast

Nikon D90
Nikkor 16-85mm - 1/60s f/5.6 at 58.0mm iso1000 full exif

An excellent expressive portrait conveying a sense of character, thought, contemplation. Beautifully exposed with the lighting and subdued colors. Sorry about you having to move. I wish you the best in finding a place that in time will feel like home. Voted++

A sympathetic portrait of this relaxed and thoughtful looking man. Don't see many people smoke anymore, but here it adds interest to the image. "V"

This is a superb portrait, it captures a relaxed and easy feel and yes, agree with Sam, he does look like Eric Clapton. Good luck with the impending move.... V
