Smoking Man in a White Hat by taffy

Smoking Man in a White Hat

Walking over to our rooftop lounge, Adam @adamj spotted the man in his white hat beneath the man in the black hat. We started photographing and even attracted some others with cameras who started photographing this guy -- who was totally in his own world.
