   “This guy’s a part of a crew simply called “The Bastards.” Cool name.”

   Wow! What an original name!!!

   And I guess the close-up at the death-stick was aimed at me, that’s ok…

   No, not aimed at anyone — and regarding smoking and fashion, of the thousands of images I’ve taken with folks on the streets, only a handful have involved people smoking. That’s how I found ‘em, so that’s how I shoot ‘em. I wouldn’t ever tell anyone who hadn’t already been smoking to light up, nor would I tell someone taking a long drag from their cig and trying to look cool to put it away. And in terms of the runway show and the cigars — well, that’s the designer’s choice, and that show had decidedly more pizzaz than the others that day. It wasn’t just the cigars — it was the attitude, the swagger, the gangster hats and clothes — and the cigars being smoked with a scowl. I’m not advocating smoking, and I’ve never smoked myself, but one can’t deny that it was part of their look.

   But Maximus — none of the content here is directly aimed at you in response to anything — it’s just coincidence that you brought up the smoking as an issue and that show had smoking cigars featured very prominently in it. That’s all.

   My last comment was a joke, I know that you don’t do this kind of thing. This was the reason for the smile face.
