speaking of Sartre, I prefer Camus, this photo is badass, imo. I think this photo was taken by Bresson, love him too.

ive actually been the happiest I've ever been, just cuz i don't take color photos (which are distractful and detract from a photo) doesn't mean you can make any assumptions towards my state of mind, lmao.

relax my friend i come in jest of course i am aware that dark work does not equal dark frame of mind

excuse my ignorance docus but what are those pictures from, not to offend you but I'm enticed by the third one that has the girl holding an assault rifle. Whatever that is, those are great shots.

It's quite a famous photo from the Northern Ireland troubles, taken in the 1970s - it's a shot of a member of Cumann na mBan, the female wing of the IRA. It was probably taken in Belfast, or perhaps Derry.

Here's a better shot:



And some more Cumann na mBan propaganda:

damn, I forgot about that, gonna read up on it. It definitely was a familiar photo, now that you blew it up for me and gave me an explanation it rings bells.

yah, funnily enough photography has made me the happiest I've ever been and actually killed the old tide of darkness side of me, lol that's why the comment got me amused and confused. I just try to be provocative with my images.

btw, Depardieu is so frenchbadass that he's not afraid to look like a wife of the former mayor of Moscow, a female oligarch Elena Baturina
