Ryan Smith is a reporter at The Meadville Tribune. He smokes a few cigarettes a day. He's a pretty cool dude. When I was leaving the other day I saw him out in the ally having a smoke and lifted my camera for a quick shot. I told him I just took the photo for his first album cover. Of course he's going to have to start playing music or singing or something musical before that happens. Maybe it can be a book jacket portrait. Or maybe just today's featured picture.
