Tobacco and a Coke by grammyn

Tobacco and a Coke

He very often sits in this spot by the railroad tracks. Sometimes he stands. He very often appears to be talking to himself. Sometimes he watches the traffic passing. He almost always has a drink and is smoking. Today it was a cigarette and a coke.
It's street photography and ad space all in one. Today I saw a man I see all the time and wished I'd taken my camera to show his gait while walking.
