  • Posted 34 months ago by Jonnie Craig · Art & Design · 11740 Views
  • New York based photo editor and photographer Kathy Lo will now be contributing on a weekly basis to HUH. Each week, Kathy will curate a series of pictures based around a specific theme, the first of which is smokers. Here's what Kathy has to say about this first installment.

    "These photos remind me of the times when I used to smoke inside my tiny bedroom, or on my bed, or on my bike, or on just about anything really; I would always have a cigarette in my hand or mouth. There's something about the motion, the way it hangs in your mouth that I found therapeutic. I used to smoke a lot, too much in fact, especially Marlboro Reds. Though I'm glad to say that I successfully quit a year ago." - Kathy Lo

    Will Anderson, Sarah Lucas, Sarah Lucas, Irving Penn, Andy Warhol, Josephine Meckseper, Collier Schorr, Joseph Szabo, Boris Mikhailov, Max Farago, Sally Mann, Terry O'Neil, Osamu Wataya, Ed Templeton.

    • Weirdly, these images do feel therapeutic. I like them but I feel like I shouldn'tâ??

    • smoking can be so ugly in the wrong hands but the most romantically beautiful thing in the right ones...

    • Good one Kathy! Look forward to seeing the rest of your selected series on here... I recently had a similar obsession: http://cargocollective.com/domingo/421463/-in-darling-states (I'm close enough to quitting, but still enjoy too much sometimes).
