Smoke Bath is a collection of photographs and art work loosely based on the theme of camping/ nature/ exploring. The Fresh Air Fund is an independent, not-for-profit agency that provides free summer vacations to New York City children from low-income communities. The goal of smoke bath is to showcase the work of artists that are inspired by nature and raise money for freshair.org in the process.
This is one of those cool projects where there are lots of names you’ve heard of and many that you haven’t. You can click around and check out work until you find something you like then visit their website and add them to your list (if you’re the sort of person who keeps lists of photographers for a living). Very Cool.

I think it’s sort of amusing that an organization called “Fresh Air” is promoting a project called “Smoke Bath”. Nothing like releasing a little trapped carbon for that fresh air smell!
I clicked through a dozen+ random links. Maybe it was luck or coincidence, but there really didn’t seem to be much diversity in these images. The homogenous nature was actually extraordinary. It seemed to me a (few) portfolio(s) could be made with the images and no one would think there was more than one creator behind the work. Is this a reflection of the editor or the current mediated environment and the response of the individual artists? Probably both.
