I dont have a favorite photo of all time, but as of right now, the image you see above is my favorite.
This is a photo by Sandy Mann, and the young girl in the picture is her daughter. I really enjoy this photo for many reasons, but the number one reason is the sense of mystery and rebellion that you get from it. This photo was taken in the year 2012 but yet the young girl and her candy cigarette look like they should be an extra in the film Stand By Me. Sandy has captured the vintage style superbly and I cant help but to get chills when I see this photo. The fact that this little girl, no older than maybe 11 years old can naturally hold a candy cigarette in her hand and have the nature that she is going to rule the world is beyond me.
it was taken in the 80’s I imagine in the general ball park of stand by me and I am not sure but they use to make candy cigarettes and I am guessing thats what it is but Mann was not above setting things up like having kids pretend to smoke.
