Unknown Smoking


Unknown Smoking

Taken at Union Square at 2pm. It reminds me of Nick Knight's "Susie Smoking". And it was about time to get a color photo on this page again. I spent the afternoon in and around Union Square and got a whole series of nice photos: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9 and #10.

Nice. I never knew about Suzie Smoking until now. I can see the similarity to your image. I also really liked #2 - the crowd shot. Crowds are much tougher to capture well, than most would think.

You should see the photo as I have it in a book. It's a sweet photo and the low-res scanned version you find on the web does not give it justice. I'll try to remember and bring the book I saw it in to the next Photochrome meeting.
