Last revolutionary

Cuba

The last revolutionary. I did not catch his name.
He asked me for a light...a perfect excuse... but
I had my camera packed away in my bag. Again I got
chatting and he appeared to be interested only in
dosh. American Dollars NO, Euro, YES. Peso Convertible, OK
After I gave him a few loose Jersey coins he was happy
and quite eager to have his picture taken in return.
Hehehe... I just loved the background here and if you
consider that the alley was only about 9 ft wide, I
think that I did OK to get it as blurry as possible...
using a 50mm F1.4 lens at F4
My intention to capture "smoke" failed yet again,
but I got a nice shot of the "last revolutionary".

Impressive capturing of the expression moment.

Last revolutionary? Fidel doesn't smoke anymore? Smoking is revolutionary these days, at least in California where I live.
