Imogen Cunningham is one early masters in her field. Shehas made many shots and scenes that have been recreated over and over by other photographers.
It is sad that such old Masters are often forgotten or lost. I think that Madame Cunningham doesn’t deserve that fate – her compositions and shots are especially intriguing and sensual.
And they still speak to us almost a hundred years later.
When a person becomes part of your life out of habit - than love has died a long time ago.
There is always a turning point in each relationship, when the first excitement makes way for a bit more mutual understanding and trust. The understanding grows into knowing each other very well. This is followed by a stage of mutual assimilation - port of you is now part of me and vice versa.
But slowly and eerily the force of habit creeps in.
Never forget to add evolve as a person, friend and lover in ANY relationship. We humans are being that need to change and always will change. It’s up to us to live the change and act according to it - and not suppress it, just because we are used to something we loved ten years ago …
Sometimes going for a cheap joke or laugh is worth all the bitching afterwards. She will forget someday, but you’ll remember that hilarious moment forever.
Once again I am getting all wet this so called summer.
I want more hotness!
If we all would more behave like our trusted canine friends we would have much more fun. But wagging ones male tail in public is a no go in human society.
I think we can learn a lot from dogs.
I am not sure from which Kiss project this clip is. If it’s from “Naomi and Rufs kiss” than these are just a eight minutes from the full feature which is 54 minutes of kissing. Otherwise it’s just one clip from a series of Kiss short movies.
Here is some background taken from this great Warhol site:
ca. AUGUST 1963: ANDY WARHOL SHOOTS KISS.
Some Warhol scholars date the Kiss films from November/December 1963. However, Warhol probably started shooting them much earlier - around August 1963 and continued to shoot them through the end of 1964, if not beyond. (SG144/CA) According to Warhol in Popism, they were still doing KISS movies in the summer of 1964 when Gerard Malanga and Mark Lancaster did one - in August 1964. (POP71/M)
According to Bob Colacello, the idea for KISS - close-ups of couples kissing each other for three minutes each - came from the old Hayes Office regulation forbidding actors in movies from touching lips for more than three seconds. (BC29)
Warhol also produced a silkscreen called The Kiss, based on a film still from the Hollywood horror classic Dracula (1931) of Bela Lugosi biting the neck of his co-star, Helen Chandler.The silkscreen was done on November 22, 1963. (GMW81)
Amy Taubin, who would later become the film critic for the Village Voice, first saw some of the KISS films in 1963 at the Grammercy Arts Theater on West 27th Street. At this time the KISS series of films was called The Andy Warhol Serial “because it was shown in weekly four minute installments.” (WI24)
