Le Sigh.

The most beautiful couple ever has finally allowed themselves to be photographed together.  They both have the most perfect milky skin.  They should have some pale little ghost babies that I can look at.

Pose and Flash.

I would really like to check out Howard Schatzs book In Character: Actors Acting.  He gives actors situations and captures their reactions on film.

hughHugh Laurie:Left: You are a dedicated father who, with your wife, has just sat down to dinner with your 15-year-old daughter, who is defiantly announcing that she’s pregnant. ~ Center: You are a fashion designer on the morning of your big runway show, realizing that nothing in the collection is ready or fabulous.  ~ Right: You are a blustering, pompous member of the British Parliament, giving a speech that is being broadcast on the BBC, and you’re thrilled at the sound of your own voice.

Ethereal.

This morning I have been working on unpacking books.  While trying to decide which ones should go on the coffee table, I focused on Sally Manns book of landscape photographs Deep South.  She is one of my favorite photographers and I took a minute to sit and flip through it.  

Sally Mann is from Virginia and definitely has a deep love for the deep south. These images are from Virginia, Georgia, and Mississippi.

She has an amazing eye for light, making her images seem otherworldly.

Sally Manns Immediate Family

This book is full of photographs of her three young children, many of which were taken while at their summer cabin along the river.  The images were largely of her childrens activities, playing games, make believe, skinny dipping, and napping.  Immediate Family met much controversy over the nude pictures of her children, many questioning where this book lies on the line of child pornography.  I believe the images are beautiful and true to the life of young children being natural and spending a lazy summer in the woods.

Oh, and here are the chosen coffee table books!
