After first taking the picture on the left, I wanted to explore the concept of people smoking. Given the fact that innumerable data exist telling us that smoking is directly linked to higher incidence of cancer and other diseases, people still make the decision to do it. However, I was not trying to capture recklessness by smoking a single cigarette. Rather, I was trying to explore a person's capacity to rationally make decisions, not matter how seemingly irrational (to some) the decision may be. The picture on the right is by Joseph Szabo entitled Priscilla, found on life.com and taken in 1969. Given how young the girl smoking is, perhaps she doesn't have the same capacity in decision making, but I believe there is a very similar underlying concept.
