Today, I was browsing through my hard drive, and I found a few snapshots I took as scrap ideas for a project.
A few years back I decided to quit smoking. It was after I got my second tattoo done. I was in Brasov at my friend's D. I walked through half of season of House of Cards. This is what came out of his hands.
So, after the tattoo was done, we went to a club for drinks. Back then, smoking wasn't banned indoors, so I ended up smoking two packs of Pall Mall Blue that night and drinking around ten beers.
We got home around 6 a.m, and I remember that when I woke up around 12 with a damn headache and with heavy breathing, I decided to quit. 2 weeks from that moment I became a ticking time bomb. I stayed indoor mostly; I couldn't stand people. Or that neighbour from 3 smoking. I was battling my addiction.
So, while trying to keep my mind occupied, an idea came to me. What if I could fight addiction, by embracing it. I wanted to capture it visually. So I scribbled the first thing that came to my mind on the first thing I had at hand, in this case, a banana.
The idea was to make a timelapse with the word "addiction" scribbled on fruits and capture them decaying. It's what addiction does to you in a way.
I ended up quitting cigarettes for a year and never finished the project. I'm thinking of picking it up again. Until then, these are the 2 snapshots I took.

I realized, through the years, the only thing I can't quit is smoking. I went days without coffee, alcohol, sweets, salt. Everything people can't quit. But smoking isn't an addiction, it's a passion. I for one love smoking. Reminder: Flowers kill us with all the pollen and they don't even put out oxygen, but we water them and keep them safe, because we love their beauty!
