Francesca Woodman & Somerset Maughman

Francesca Woodman (April 3, 1958 - January 19, 1981)



It is an illusion that youth is happy, 
an illusion of those who have lost it.

I love Herb Ritts!

Herb Ritts

Herb Ritts (1952-2002) was an american fashion photographer who concentrated on black and white photography and portraits in the style of classical greek sculpture. Some of his more famous photos are of female and male nudes. Today I choose this piece because I find it really emotional.
My life is changing and it's hard... I feel like I can't breathe. I feel like the man in the photo, in chains he can't move or make a sound.
It hurts.
But I'm positive: everything will be ok...

Kristof Galgoczy Nemeth & Eugene Delacroix "Liberty leading the people"

Kristof Galgoczy Nemeth


Freedom.
This days are very important for all of us and for the next generations, world is changing and nations fights for freedom and human rights. Many countries are trying to change their future, hoping for a better one. Today I decided to post a photo made by a hungarian photographer, Kristof Galgoczy Nemeth. When I saw it I've found it really original and suitable for this historical moment. He has reproduced Eugene Delacroix's picture "Liberty leading the people" (1830), probably Delacroix's best know painting. It is the image of Parisians, having taken up arms, marching forward under the banner of tricoulor representing liberty, equality and fraternity. Kristoof made the photo for a CD cover. All models in it are members of the band "Anna and the Barbies" and dead soldiers are some of their biggest fan, as he told me.
A deep breath... I pray for peoples, hoping they'll find as soon as possible wellness and freedom.
