*Seriously, he spent about 15 minutes of our European vacation stalking these dudes for the perfect lighting, angle, background, texture...I thought they might come over and tell us to cassez-vous, but the game was apparently that intense; they didn't seem to notice. Lucky; I think Pink Shirt could have taken both of us.

I think they were trying to look busy so you would leave and they could get back to looking at the nudie mag hidden under the board and to drinking from the flasks hidden in their old man pants.
I love shots like this...what is it about oldER guys, in the park, playing chess/checkers/go/whatever?!
Here they are usually drinking sake, too...in the open, no flasks, and pretty much any time of day!!
I'm thinking your guys were wanting you to take THE perfect shot...old guys live for moments like that!!
It was 14 minutes tops... There was a guy who kept moving in and out of the background. I really wanted pink-shirt-man to leave.

Yeah, I think they are secretly loving the attention!
