Photographer’s Note

Visited the park and there were these old men gathered around a table which made me very curious. My curiosity even intensified when I saw something very unfamiliar, these thin cards with printed circles of different colors used for gambling...

I thought they would mind if I get one shot, and hesitantly took one photo. They kept on playing like I was not there, I guess gambling in public is completely tolerated in this part of the world...maybe thats why they consider Stanley Ho's Macau as the casino center of the world, I dont kow about Vegas...

Today, global stock investors gamble a lot and try to understand the trade of commodities and interconnect their dependencies...

Hi Alex friend,

the kind of photos I like very much: the only moment sometimes, the intelligent point of view. The moment that the photographer doesn't miss. You did it here very well, all compliments.

After all this a nice picture for my personal collection "Men loosing time, while women work hard". Many thanks for your visit and be happy in the wonderful country Philippines.

Friendly your

Branko
