Cliché Photographs

One of the big South East Asia Cliches, old woman with huge cigar. This shot was taken in Bagan, Burma. Locals use corn husks and tobacco to make a kind of cigar, called cheroot. The Coconut shell is to collect the ash as the houses are made out of wood and could start burning. It's really weird that people mainly smoke for photographers so everyone get a cliché shoot - so did I... Not sure what to think about it really but somehow I like it...
