About There are so many different names for this unique smoking device. Some call it a hookah, hooka, shesha, huka, nargile, narghile, shisha, shesha, sheesha, nargila, or shishah.
The Nargile; as it is known in the Middle East; has been the standard of smoking for centuries in the middle east. Hubbly Bubbly smoking is quite common at restaurants and cafes all across the middle east.
Hubbly Bubbly history is rich and very controversial. It is said that the water pipe originated in India where it was made from coconut shells and then spread to Iran and into different parts of the Arab world.
The Hubbly Bubbly started a whole new breed of smokers and today, it is even becoming more popular than cigarette and cigar smoking. For many, it offers a smoother, flavorful and cool taste of smoke over that of cigarettes and cigars. Because the smoke is filtered through cool water and the tobacco is flavored, the enjoyment is greater!

The actual adjustment: 1/160 - f/6.3

Rebecca Raybon   {K:26655} 10/16/2004
Magnificent composition and tones! And just to fill you in a little American history, they were used a lot over here in the 70's and 80's, maybe even now, to smoke marijuana and other "illicits". Some put wine in them, instead of water. They were nicknamed Bongs.


Amna Al Shamsi   {K:20819} 10/16/2004

excellent image - a capture that definately protrays more than words ever could!!


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42185} 10/19/2004
Dear Khaled, i really like your prospective always, it has something different, you go beyond a normal photography to capturing human souls, every picture you shot has something new.
This guy, he is so simple, so humble, from the picture you can see he has nothing, but from the smile you can say he has everything. It would be unfair to rate this picture, it is like trying to rate humanity.
Very well done brother, and you have a heavy task to do, which is maintaining the same level. Keep up, Regards,


Aiman Nassar   {K:11961} 10/20/2004
