Just another unkempt headstone in the cemetery.

A Moment in Photographic History:
Latvian photographer Philippe Halsman died on June 25, 1979. He made wonderful portraits but I certainly cannot classify his most famous works. I guess “surreal” would cover it. Maybe.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
I drifted into photography like one drifts into prostitution. First I did it to please myself, then I did it to please my friends, and eventually I did it for the money.
