Love in 90s

Back to 90s and to the men we loved to love. I don't think there was a girl's room without a poster of these teen idols. Johnny, Leo, Brad, Kurt, Keanu ! Enjoy !

This post is dedicated to my best friend, who has birthday today, as well as Johnny Depp.

Stanley Kubrick Photography

Before he turned to film, Stanley Kubrick, was a passionate photographer.
All started when he recieved a Graflex camera from his father.  

''When he was just 16 and in high school, Kubrick shot a photograph of a news vendor the day after President Franklin D. Roosevelt died and submitted it to Look magazine. Look printed the photo and soon hired him as a freelance photographer.'' (Source: Official Warner Brothers biography.)
The formal visual style and meticulous attention to detail in the films of the director might be the result of his techniques in photography and of his  “photographer’s eye.”
Many early [1945–50] photographs by Kubrick have been published in the book Drama and Shadows , 2005, Phaidon Press. 

Here is a small photography selection of a true genius :

Happy Birthday Marilyn !

This post is in honor of Marilyn's birthday, that was yesterday. I found some really nice shots, I would like to share. After all I think she deserves a small tribute. 

This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.
- Marilyn Monroe

Happy Birthday, Marilyn Monroe !
