put that in your pipe

Photographer Mehmet Ozgur has spent years amassing still photographs of different smoke formations. The compositions are then formed by meticulously layering two or more of these pictures on top of each other. Turkish-born Mehmet's passion for photography began in 1989, with a film camera. He soon became interested in special effects photography and the technical aspects of image making. He says "I am not aware of anybody else making compositions from smoke patterns similar to mine. My inspiration has been to make something completely different than what the camera captures".He continues "Smoke is difficult to control, but it gives so much compositional freedom". Some of his audience have been critical of the work, which they believe condones the deadly habit of smoking. But the shapes are created using incense sticks and liquid nitrogen, not cigarettes. - Telegraph.co.uk
