Great shot! Hopefully Flickr doesn't block this photo, sometimes they don't like smoking kids.

Nice picture but heartbreakingly the kid's acquired habit will be his death warrant before the age of 25.

really makes you rethink saying the phrase "starting them young"

seen on explore!
Posted 24 months ago. ( permalink )

Damn... I guess in this case smoking does make you cool...

I mean just look at that little kid... his body language says: "you'll never be as cool as me bitch... just accept it!!!" Not saying it's a good thing for him though... kinda sad

Dterry says:

brilliant, the shot has a lot going on, but they are not distracting, first your eye goes to the man buried in the sand, but it soon moves up to the boy, and onlookers, a fascinating scene. Congratulations

good photograph, but a strange irony. The guy burried is almost in his grave through smoking, and the poor kid ensures a similar fate.

I guess that one goes in the portfolio. It has a nice Parr meets Webb sort of feel. Not as dark nor empty as Webb. And a lot funnier.

Yemen has one of the highest proportion of smokers in the world, so I guess you have to start early...
