Artist's Comments

Guangzhou (Canton), China.

i'll paste the *estudio great comment:

"this is a tobacco-based bong.. not drug."

"Workers in china do work their sweat off everyday to earn that li'l bit they could to support themselves and their families. Each drop of sweat to them is gold and gold to them is rice to their bowl for dinner everyday. Smoking a pipe like this is something one would reward himself with.. like a commission after a good sale."

i cant tell more ...

Disclaimer, this is a tobacco-based bong.. not drug.

Workers in china do work their sweat off everyday to earn that li'l bit they could to support themselves and their families. Each drop of sweat to them is gold and gold to them is rice to their bowl for dinner everyday. Smoking a pipe like this is something one would reward himself with.. like a commission after a good sale.

Good composition too. It shows perfectly well the stance one should use to smoke such a pipe too: Squat, hold firmly but comfortably, drag one heluva puff... then exhale........

:clap: U did bring out the essense of what life in rural china is like in these photos. Well done.

these photos are really nice, rich colours. you use any special lens/filter to get these? you should work for the national geographic magazine, they would love this sort of thing.
