The Wind Swept Dream of Lauren Bacall - Inspiration Friday

Photos by Lina scheynius, Barbara Cole, & Alfred Hitchcock

Happy Inspiration Friday!
Yay, we made it!
This a Long and Fast week...I know it doesn't make sense...
but it has been! hahah
I've been multi-tasking a lot this week which kind of gets me disorientated,
but i think i should have a good relaxing day of painting today.
Today's inspiration Friday set, i really like the mood and the aesthetics of it.
Plus i got to put one of my favorite actresses Lauren Bacall in it,
and got to put a still from one of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock's "The 39 steps "
I hope have a great Inspiration Friday!
Welp, i hope you all have a great weekend!

The Profile of Natasha Belobrovik

Well, like i said a few weeks back, i'm going to start to post all the photo's i took at last Fashion Week.
This picture is of one of my Favorite girls of Andy and Debb Spring 2011 Presentation.
Her name is Natasha Belobrovik.
I really like this picture because of how the shadow is cast across her face.
It has a really calm feel to it,
which is kinda ironic cause it was taken at the peak of crazi-ness backstage.
Also, she has such an amazing profile. huh?

The Arrangements of Andy & Debb spring 2011

Happy Belated Christmas!
Sorry for lack of posts! i think my mind goes into vacation mode this time of year.
Did you all have a good holiday?
This year was one of the best Christmas' ever!
My mom surprised all of us with a gift that was the best ever!
She secretly found a company that could convert old tapes to DVD,
so she got all our home movies from when i was born up to when i was 5 years old on DVD!
You don't know how much fun it was sitting with my family watching those videos.
I really hadn't seen the videos before, it brought back so many memories...
So watch out! i think I'm going to make some short films & incorporate the old footage into them ;)


So the Photo today is from Andy & Debb Spring 2011.

This was the first full show that my brother David and I both had cameras to take pictures at.
We bought his camera a day earlier so, needless to say, we have a lot of pictures here!
There were alot of elements I loved about this show.
The color and the garment structure, but also I loved the arrangement of the models at the presentation.
I had a lot of fun walking around and playing around with the composition.
I especially love Ksenia Malanova's expression (the girl on the left hand side)

When the Zeppelin Calls - Inspiration Friday

Happy Inspiration Friday my friends! :)
How was your day?
My was great.
So i'm not sure if you all have noticed the 1400-1800 influence in the Inspiration Friday's over the last few weeks.
I've never taken any Art History classes,
and i really don't know about other artists.
So i've been researching and discovering older painters, and loving every minute of it!.
I've always been obsessed with Zeppelins
so i thought a journey on a Zeppelin would be a theme for this Inspiration Friday.

The Inspiration Friday images are Steven Meisel, El Greco, Hans Holbein the Younger, and a few others that i don't know where they are from.
