The Machinist

 

This dude came walking in the opposite direction and just had that exquisite look. So of course I had to take his picture. I don´t know whether or not it is true but I was later told that he actually used to be the machinist at the local cinema. When the former president Türkmenbaşy decided to close down all cinemas across Turkmenistan since they where looked upon as a threat to the Turkmen culture and soul he was more or less forced to retire. The cinema building in Nokhur is still there but remains abandoned.
