They are working on the yard then I came to them and started a conversation ! I kept on shoting as we talke, I like this moment as the man inhale the smoke into his lung ! this type of tobaco was very storng making ppeople feel great after that !
"The bung" in Vietnam we call "dieu cay" very popular smoking way of vietnamese in the country side. This kind of tobaco is very cheap some people could not afford to buy ciggarette they smoke this ! Sorry to 555.

Bich, again a wonderful slice of life in Vietnam, wonder what they smoke, what that bung is ;-). At any rate, the smoke looks like that coming out of an old locomotive, huge and dense and yes, the people look content after inhaling. Lovely composition, tones...

I think he's enjoying the smoke - great shot. I like the composition a lot - and moment is just summed up beautifully. Nice choice for black and white too.

Very nice shot, I like the expressions on their faces, they look like they're enjoying themselves a lot!
How impressive that huge smoke cloud!
Nice background too.
A great picture

Hi,
Great shot Bich they rely look like having fun, very good capture.

Yo Bich!

This is a very rich shot mate, with beautiful imagery with great clarity and sharpness. There is a playfulness in both men's eyes and I think you have captured the scene with a candid and documentary styles. Good love the bung!
