Nice one. Where is it from?

[endersgame]

she's flora chandler, edward weston's first wife and his first nude picture i believe..

she ended up taking care of weston's children and supporting his career while he had several torrid affairs with other models and most notably with tina modotti, the silent film actor and photographer.

on the trend of old photographs I would like to post this. I bumped into this yesterday and was blown away. So so sad. Linked for sensitive members.

The Most Beautiful Suicide
On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. ‘He is much better off without me … I wouldn’t make a good wife for anybody,’ … Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Across the street photography student Robert Wiles heard an explosive crash. Just four minutes after Evelyn McHale’s death Wiles got this picture of death’s violence and its composure. The serenity of McHale’s body amidst the crumpled wreckage it caused is astounding. Years later, Andy Warhol appropriated Wiles’ photography for a print called Suicide (Fallen Body).

Wow, this is astonishing.

Contrast between the violent death and the peaceful atmosphere is just amazing. She looks so peaceful in her last iron bed.

Wow amazing pics galia. I'm totally loving the David Bowie mugshot. I also feel somewhat inspired by him lately.

Yes very beautiful images, Galia. Bowie looks incredibly young and polished. What is that picture from?
