"Everyone knows how to love, because we are all born with that gift. Some people have a natural talent for it, but the majority of us have to re-learn, to remember how to love, and everyone, without exception, needs to burn on the bonfire of past emotions, to relive certain joys and griefs, certain ups and downs, until they can see the connecting thread that exists behind each new encounter; because there is a connecting thread."
Paulo Coelho
"Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want."
Jim Rohn
“SMOKING KIDS” BY FRIEKE JANSSENS
After seeing that infamous video of a chain-smoking Indonesian toddler, Frieke Janssens created a photography series entitled ‘Smoking Kids,’ which displays tobacco-puffing kids of various backgrounds.
Since smoking is a societal norm among adults, she decided to use children as her subjects to create a powerful imagery that has the viewer focus on the act of smoking itself rather than make assumptions about who’s doing it. Check out the rest of the series here.
p.s. Don’t fret! The cigarettes and smoke are from props!
