quote of the day: gena on john
“i was a woman with a plan. i knew the only thing, that could’ve really stopped me, in my opinion, was to fall in love.
i went in, at lunch, to put my books in the locker and i got to the doorway and … i saw john cassavetes, and i thought : oh, oh damn! no, no, no. no!
that’s just exactly what i don’t want.”
-gena rowlands on meeting her husband, john cassavetes

marquez by avedon
here is the second session richard avedon and gabriel garcia marquez shared in 2004. the first attempt was in 1976, but the photographer considered the portrait a “failure” according to the new yorker. this failure, however, emerged in avedon as a desire–he sought to photograph the late author again; finally getting his wish nearly thirty years later. and what a success it turned out to be that time around. goodnight, sweet prince. by sv

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes – margiela’s fairytale
a dream is a wish your heart makeswhen you’re fast asleep
in dreams you lose your heartaches
whatever you wish for, you keep
have faith in your dreams and someday
your rainbow will come smiling through
no matter how your heart is grieving
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

angela in “purple IV naked” photographed by inez and vinoodhshe was always a favorite of mine, despite her missouri upbringing… from the early days she appeared as the young girl in the parada campaigns to her current state. now of course she is a full fledged environmentalist and nothing suits her better than her natural skin. by dd

pierre le-tan / ivan terestchenko – objets trouvés
while zoning on my favorite blogs i naturally ended on the great one from the non the less great photographer ivan terestchenko. there was this post about illustrator pierre le-tan. since i grew up in paris, his illustrations were all around. i decided to post some of them but was really disappointed about what i found on the net (and i’m not talking about the dumb sun-tanning google ads when you hit pierre le-tan…). what is nice is the fact that i found an amazing website called designers books. they features pics of rare and out of print books… out those was “objets trouvés” which is a collaboration between the illustrator and the photographer mentioned above. never been able to check the inside before and as one can think when those two are involved, it’s great! by pp.

mike mills – fireworks
