Smoking a nargileh (water pipe with fruit tobacco)…
“I wasn’t a misanthrope and I wasn’t a misogynist but I liked being alone. It felt good to sit alone in a small space and smoke and drink. I had always been good company for myself.”

Brilliant.
How the smoke covers the face I really like very much.
Thank you Rabirius.
Quite the capture !
Thank you. Follow the link for more captures!
I will and is that you in the Gravatar??
Yes, it’s an old picture from around 2000-2001.
I LIKE IT!
Brilliant.
😀
🙂 Are you wearing glasses now?
No, it’s an old picture.
I was reffering to your new gravatar 😀
I know you did and so did I.
😀 I like it 🙂 though I loved the previous one and the one before too 🙂
Can I share this one on sots, please, Cardinal? 🙂
Of course you can Ashley.
Thank you, Cardinal 🙂
Great shot!
Thanks Mark!
i can relate to the quote.
Same here. That’s why I love the quote.
Lovely shot. Looks as though there’s some sort of floating mask around the guy’s head. He must be having a great time.
Thanks Mabel. Yes, I was having a good time: smoking nargileh and probably drinking a glass of wine or beer too.
I might well be a misogynist and certaintly a misanthrope so loved the quote but the smoky portrait is the clincher
To tell you the truth I’m a bit of a misanthrope myself from time to time.
“I don’t hate people, I just feel better when they aren’t around.” Well I would certainly give this guy a very wide berth. 😯
Haha, I think that’s a good idea!
Very nice!
Thank you very much Malin. Takker og bukker!
🙂
Sounds like me, except for the smoking and drinking.

Thanks for sharing the link! It’s always nice to find other bloggers that like Bukowski too.
