Sally Man - Journal Entry.

I really enjoy this picture because it shows how cigarettes used to be just passed around back them, it didn't matter the age it was the "cool thing" -  This picture shows a young girl, looking kinda of raged and hold a cigarette. She seems to have a "I don't care attitude," and looks about the age of 12 or 13. This picture captures the confusing emotions of developing adolescent girls. Candy Cigarette is an example of distinctive combination and careful planning and serendipity. The picture has a bold and dramatic mood.

I also like the technique that that she shows -  its very old fashion and like distorted/destroyed pictures. She makes scratches on the lens and uses her own hand as the shutter. It is very unique and is also a good effect on her pictures.


Today is very different -  there are age limits that you have to be to be able to smoke, you have to be more mature. A cigarette isn't just "candy" anymore - you cant just go and buy it at a store like "candy" there are rules and age limits now. Not only this photo, but other photo's by her show the troubling themes of intimacy and the passage of time back then. The picture shows the change from back then to now.
