Thats what I was doing - 'smoking away my life' untill 6 weeks ago. I have given it up for good. Perhaps when you are young its allowed. But when smokers get bit older they should give it up. Its just not worth the trouble it causes.
This is a great lighting situation. Was it a window display? And the fact that it's an eye-catching sort of subject matter helps. The flare from perhaps the glass is a nice addition.
I'm so glad you decided to bear down and quit smoking. I heard it's one of the hardest things in life to do.
And thank you for sticking up for me in that "little incident with the tilted hillside."
