First Squash the Smoke Role Model!

I am so excited to announce our first Squash the Smoke senior role model! As you might remember, at the beginning of 2008 I announced Squash the Smoke - an anti-smoking campaign geared toward highschool and elementary kids. It'll be a series of fun posters highlighting strong role models who have chosen to pass on smoking. The goal is to distribute the posters to local highschools (and eventually elementary schools) for display and to reinforce that making a statement, being cool and unique comes from who you are - not what you do.
I first met Jordan last year when I photographed his family at their home in Lincoln. Not long after we worked together again when I photographed him for his senior photos (check out the Forever Young gallery to see highlights from that shoot). Well, a few month ago when I learned he was voted Homecoming King, I knew he HAD to be our first role model! Not only is he one of the nicest, most courteous teenagers I know, he has a style that absolutely rocks and speaks to his individuality. I couldn't think of a better person to be our first role model for this campaign.
And how cool is this? He met me at 8:30am on a Saturday morning to do this session! THANK YOU again Jordan!!!
Okay, I'm holding out most of the photos for the actual poster - which I will share soon! - but for one quick sneak peek, check out below.
