Description My son uploaded a picture of himself with a cigarette and it was upsetting of course. Then, I remembered that back when I was in my early 20's I also had a picture made with me holding a cigarette. While waiting to have my picture made, I looked through the costumes and found a black suit, a hat and a boa, and then spotted the photographer's long cigarettes on her desk and knew it was the perfect prop. I also remember my mom's horror when she saw me with a cigarette, so I guess it has gone full circle. Here's the link to his photograph:

NOTE: I do not and never hav smoked, it is one of the worst things a person can do to themselves.

I liked your picture better than your sons. Is that your own costume or the photographer's?

The picture was made back in 1983. The costume belonged the the photographer's studio. It was a fun day. I also had one made the same day in a "southern bell" outfit, which my mom liked more, of course. My son likes to be a little different and shocking in his art.

Thank you Lawrence. I need a scanner. It's a picture of a picture and that's about as good as I could get it using that method. It was fun finding it and remembering that day.

It looks pretty good for a picture of a picture.
