wildebeests face the mara

what is in a name? beauty, terror, raw force of survival. these images, by tomasz gudzowaty, of a wildebeest (aka gnu antelopes) herd over a million strong on the plateau surrounding the ngorongoro volcanic crater in the serengeti during the december to june rainy period, inspire and haunt. after the last rainstorm, the plain rapidly changes into a dry and hostile wasteland, the wildebeests migrate, following the escaping rain and at a certain point during the migration, the herd must swim across its largest obstacle – the mara river. an epic journey. by kl

horst p horst – more cy twombly





horst p horst at home when i was very young, and i remember this portrait of cy twombly in his crazy italian house, the rest of the story was released in an edition of vogue at the time. love the romantic aspect of living in a palazzo and everything that comes with it as far as choices, life, style and so on. by the way, also love the gehrard richter portrait laying on the floor, in this setting, it’s rather cool! isn’it? by pp.

still lives still alive – christian weber

at the end of my studies, i did my thesis on still lives, i wanted to put together a body of work bridging the original dutch still lives with something more modern.  these pictures by photographer/artist christian weber represent exactly what i had in my blurred mind at the time and couldn’t really express with my limited means. beautiful work. by pp.
