Through years of observation, it’s clear the green in my neighborhood is menthol. For a long time, I have been photographing the discarded Newport cigarette packs populating the streets. While those empty packs remain a memento of my former nicotine addiction, this project has evolved into a meditation on mortality, personal choices, a community’s habit, and its effects on people like me.
