Smoking with style



As much as smoking really isn't my thing... man, don't they look cool!
From Fringe festival final evening in Rubin near Malostranske square and from Solidni nejistota in Pstrossova street.

I have just seen one filmic post and here you have one shot that might have come from the Maltese Falcon period. Extraordinary.

The guy with the pipe is wonderful. Very Noir. I don't like smoking either, but these photos almost justify it.

Very well done. Great mono shots. I won't comment on whether or not it is cool, just that they are really good pictures.

These are fantatic shots. Really great and a feeling of yesteryear... well done.

I quit smoking 9 months ago - it was cool - yes - but stank! I am happy I was able to get rid of that habit. I was borne in Bulgaria - everybody smokes there - so I joined the crowd 15 years ago - came to live in the USA - there are less and less people smoking here - so I joined the crowd again - and quit. Portraying smoking as cool? It is a weakness - that is me!

Wow, the first photo really looks like a still from an old film. Bravo!

Your pictures are splendid. They reflect european mood. It´s like some people in Praga live in another sentury.

Great, smokey photos! I don't like smoking either but they do look "glamorous." But what is she doing with her right hand? You have a great blog with cool pictures. I just discovered it. All the best from EAGAN daily photo in Minnesota, USA
