One of Gjon Mili's great strobe shots taken during filming of Shadow of a Doubt, 1942: Joseph Cotten & Teresa Wright. These are like a kind of story-board. I'll bet Hitchcock admired Mili's story-telling. Image

Remembering Jesse Winchester on his birthday 🎂
📷 Chris Felver, New Orleans, 2011
"His songs were rooted in country, soul & gospel, & they strove to stay plain-spoken & succinct, whether he was singing wryly about everyday life or musing on philosophy & faith."
- Jon Pareles Image
Jesse Winchester was opposed to the Vietnam War, & moved to Canada in 1967 to avoid the draft. His first album, from 1970, was produced by Robbie Robertson.
The wonderful cover portrait is by Jeremy Taylor.
"The Brand New Tennessee Waltz": Image
My favourite Jesse Winchester album has a great Canadian title: Third Down, 110 Yards to Go, from 1972 🇨🇦

Remembering Martin Munkácsi on his birthday 🎂
📷 Self-Portrait Shooting Fashion in Long Island Sound, 1935
Richard Avedon wrote admiringly about his "photographs of falcons, camels & women striding parallel to the sea, unconcerned with his camera, freed by his dream of them." Image
Martin Munkácsi
Lucile Brokaw, Harper's Bazaar, December 1933
This is a landmark shot in the history of fashion photography. Munkácsi freed the genre from the studio; he was called "the kinetic man". Image
