Alyssa by David Knight
I went to check out this year’s Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery (the one in London, that is). The first prize went to the swimmer, but, personally, I only had eyes for David Knight’s Alyssa. Must be the freckles.

Gregory Crewdson’s Dream House portfolio for the New York Times, 2002.
“The catalyst for these pictures was an empty ranch-style house in Rutland Vermont. The furniture, lamps, even the hand-towels in the bathrooms, were exactly as the owners had left them ten years earlier when they passed away. It was an eerie and beautiful place, painted with memories. Absence was one of the furnishings.”
— Kathy Ryan, photo editor of The New York Times Magazine.
“…I just brought two unrelated ideas to the table. One was that I had always wanted to photograph Tilda Swinton and the other was that I also wanted to make a series of photographs in a particular uninhabited ranch house in Vermont. […] We amassed an additional list of actors, who I felt could inhabit the world of my pictures. […] We had mapped out a concept: to spend the entire month of August, with a production crew, in the house, separately photographing these actors. My parameters were that I would have complete artistic control and that the actors must come alone, unaccompanied by assistants or entourage. What ensued was a magical adventure, strange, enchanting and totally unique magical adventure.

Just got back from the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in Istanbul. Phil, one of our reporters, and Scott, one of our photographers, covered the riots on our last day there. Going through a bunch of invoices today, I’ve just come across Phil’s expenses; one of his entries reads “Coffee with Scott after riot: TL10”. That made me laugh.

You’ll never see a Brad&Angelina reblog on here. Just FYI.
Rossy de Palma
What a striking Picassoesque face that woman has. She’s always brilliantly cast by Almodóvar (I particulalry remember her as the lesbian maid in Kika). Her cameo in Los Abrazos Rotos is very short but memorable.
I’m having a belated crush on Molly Ringwald.
So, I’ve just seen Pretty In Pink and god what a lame movie, but she’s so sweet in it I want to eat ‘er. Funny how the crush didn’t register when I first saw her in The Breakfast Club years ago.

Kids in Paris having the times of their young lives watching a puppet show
This photo was taken in 1963 at a Guignol puppet show in Parc de Montsouris, Paris…Le theatre de Guignol has been getting this types of reaction from French kids for more than 200 years.
A typical scene from Guignol would have the ugly bad puppet approaching our hero (Guignol) very slowly from behind with the intention of knocking him down with a big ugly stick. The kids would go insane trying to warn Guignol of what’s about to hit him. Repeat that about 10 times and by the end of the show, the kids will have lost both their voices and the will to live. I’m telling you, it’s not for sissies.

But, a century and some odd years later, and you got a real nice looking series of artistic portraits. Check out the style some of these cons are throwing down.”
