I <3 Photography

One of my random obsessions is photography. I can't take pictures, but I totally love them. So, I figured I would share some of my favorite spreads, including one that I have yet to see, but know is going to be awesome:

1) Vanity Fair's "Ain't We Got Fun" is appearing in their August issue. The photo shoots Vanity Fair run are always phenomenal, but this one in particular looks cool. Combine some of my favorite actors with the classic age of cinema, and you can't go wrong.

2) Fallen Princesses by Dina Goldstein is a great set that poses the question, "What happened when the fairy tale ends?" Jasmine might be my favorite, but Cinderella is pretty heartbreaking.

3) Domestic Bliss ran in W Magazine during the Angelina-Brad controversy. These pictures are totally gorgeous, but have something very dark just below the surface. That kind of lingering, secret pain is something I'm drawn to in pictures.

4) Don't Shoot the DJ was the first time I ever saw Mark Ronson, and ran right around the time I discovered his album Version. Little to say, it was love at first sight, particularly seeing as how first sight was a spread in GQ based on Jean-Luc Godard's vision of Paris.

  1. Love that Fallen Princesses spread. I think Rapunzel might win as most heartbreaking for me, though I feel bad for poor Belle, especially since she was always my favorite Disney princess when I was a kid.

  2. It's really neat seeing them completely reinvented, but it is really sad seeing these idyllic characters placed in the real world.
