'She's talking to that mirror again, farther?' says Misst Craddock. Father Cradock turns round slowly from the book he is eating and explains that it is just a face she is going through and they're all the same at that age.

Er..similarities between one photograph?
//Klimt rocks.
The other image wasn't visible, no? God knows what happened. Hope you can see it now, though. It's a Steichen photo and a Klimt oil.
ah good. It being this blog and all, I assumed the post was meant to have just one picture.
I heart Klimt. That said, (what seems like) Steichen's homage is much more appealing.
How deceptive art is, no? The symmetry in the photograph is just unreal. Loved that flower brooch.
What maligning is this?! You mean you didn't see the outline of a frame with a dinkly little red cross on the top left corner, indicating the absence of an image?
Steichen: yes, no? I was getting all nostalgic for early 20th C photography yesterday and was checking out lots of Steiglitz (Alfred, not Joseph, let me hasten to add), Man Ray, Imogen Cunningham and all.
And either I've forgotten what 'autochrome' means or I wasn't paying attention when we were told. What a fantastic effect, though.
Sur, Mukul, please tell me waht it is.
