The Alphabet of Photoblogging is an A-Z 26 day long series about what to look for when doing nightlife photography and what to do to get your photo taken. For the rest of the alphabet and more info click here.

Whoever is trying to get you to stop smoking never ran a photoblog.  I love taking pictures of people smoking.  I love freezing the smoke in mid puff.  The trick is to get them not to actually inhale, but just have them hold the smoke in their mouth and let it out very slowly.  I used to shoot this so much I had to intentionally cut back because all of my main images were of people smoking and it got a bit repetitive.   The other thing is, I seem to shoot better outside of clubs and most people smoke outside in NYC so they tend to look better anyway.  You might get lung cancer, but at least you look pretty doing it… I mean isn’t that why you started smoking in the first place?
