Oienkwa with Chief Louis Louis

Caroline Street, Fredericksburg. This is one of the most beautiful cigar store Indians I have seen. The store website says it is the most photographed icon in Fredericksburg. This past Sunday evening while on a photo-walk testing my new Nikon FE 35mm film camera, with a Nikon 24mm AIs lens, I happened upon him and took this picture with the FE. One of the nice things I've noted about this lens is the seeming lack of distortion for a wide-angle lens, as I have sometimes encountered. Oienkwa is the Mohawk word for tobacco. I smelled smoke from the Olde Towne Tobacconists shop and stopped in. There were a few gents gathered in the back of the store enjoying their cigars. I bought myself a fine stubby and enjoyed it on the photo-walk; an indulgence for many Sunday evenings.
