Life goes up in smoke every second.
That thing accelerates the process.
Cigarettes are handy time machines.

Wake me up.

------

French title : [Chroniques d'un fumiste]

Cette chose accélère singulièrement un processus de détérioration sur lequel nous pensions n'avoir aucune prise...
Heureusement, les progrès de la médecine actuelle nous ont permis dé réaliser que le tabac nous précipite significativement vers une mort inévitable,
que l'on soit fumeur ou sain de corps, fumiste ou sain d'esprit.

Chaque cigarette est une machine à accélérer le temps que l'on peut tenir au creux de sa main.

Ou pas.

25 oct 2005 :

Okay. some people asked how I did this one...
I always answer "I played with curves a little bit"... and, unfortunately, I can't say anything else.

I'd really like to make a tuto ; explain how I did this one with all details and subtilities you need to reproduce it... but I just can't :(
When I say I *played* with color curves (using The Gimp, but you can do the same with 'toshop, of course), that's exactly what I did !
I was using this curve box for the first time - it happened to be when I was working one this photograph - and, suddenly, I saw somethin' I found interesting... This pic !
The point is : I'm not really versed into technique... I use to play a lot, with different tools and... sometimes I obtain what I want.
I can't even remember if I played with the original pic or the 'negatived' one, sorry.

What I can do is to put the original pic into my scraps gallery, and then you could also try to... play with curves :)
I'd be interested, however, if someone could explain me exactly how to reproduce it, with all these nifty scientific words ^^

Here's the original pic in small resolution (watch out, its quite ugly) : [link]

Pas mal ! Prise de conscience ? ;)

L'aspect noir dense et toxique de la fumée est terrible. Tu devrais l'envoyer au ministère de la santé, ils pourraient la mettre sur les paquets de cigarettes ! :)
