This man is smoking a hookah, a water pipe called a Chicha in Tunisia. The pipes are used to smoke tobacco in cafes, and are provided free. The smoker pays only for the tobacco. Chicha smoking is usually a group activity, but this man was smoking one by himself. By zooming in on his face and converting the color image to black and white, I try to reveal more character and heighten his reflective mood. (You can see a color image of this same smoker in my portrait gallery, a http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/106455730 . The red hat and the colors of the wallpaper behind him express an entirely different mood.)
