Exile on Beirut Streets Le poème de Beyrouth Une pomme à la mer. Narcisse de marbre. Papillon de pierre. Paris pendant l’Exposition Universelle de 1900 En 1900 William Henry Goodyear, le fils de l’inventeur de la vulcanisation, a voyagé à Paris avec le photographe Joseph Hawkes pour une visite de 6 semaines dédiée à l’Exposition Universelle, son but était de rapporter des images aux Etats Unis pour montrer l’exposition parisienne au grand public américain qui ne pouvait pas faire le voyage, c’est dans ce but qu’il fit coloriser les images de façon à ce qu’elles se rapprochent plus de la réalité. Ces images sont maintenant dans les collections du Musée de Brooklyn. Vues aériennes :

Graphic Design I love Dust was recently in touch to let me know that they updated their portfolio in a big way with a wealth of new design, illustration and animation work. They continue to inspire and know that my love for them guarantees a post. Oh how I wish I was across the pond so I could knock on their door and try to see if they’d take in a wayward designer/illustrator like me. There is some lovely print and poster work in the portfolio of UK studio Telegramme .

Livres : Rimbaud, la photo retrouvée C'est la première fois que l'on voit si nettement le visage du poète adulte. Histoire d'une découverte extraordinaire. C'était il y a deux ans, dans une brocante comme la France en compte des milliers. Dans un lot, au milieu de livres, de cartes postales, les badauds peuvent brasser des photos datant de la fin du siècle dernier représentant des bourgeois moustachus et des femmes strictement apprêtées. Rien d'original. Au dos de l'une d'elles, toutefois, une inscription : Hôtel de l'Univers.

Many of the women assumed their male identities from an early age as a way to avoid the old codes that governed the tribal clans, which stated that women were the property of their husbands. Peters explains, The freedom to vote, drive, conduct business, earn money, drink, smoke, swear, own a gun or wear pants was traditionally the exclusive province of men. Young girls were commonly forced into arranged marriages, often with much older men in distant villages.

To Kill a Mockingbird To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. It was immediately successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American literature. The plot and characters are loosely based on the author's observations of her family and neighbors, as well as on an event that occurred near her hometown in 1936, when she was 10 years old. The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The narrator's father, Atticus Finch, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. One critic explains the novel's impact by writing, "In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its protagonist, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism

Lapsus Calamari You don't point your fucking tentacle on me! Lapsus Calamari Archive About Where Texas Is a Dream State Nancy Newberry wanted to make pictures of Texas that went past the facile folklore of the homestead, past the stereotypes of tumbleweeds and ten-gallon hats. Put in decidedly nonfolksy terms, she was fascinated by disjunctive cognition, that phenomenon in a dream where you simultaneously recognize something is and isn’t. In other words, something familiar — but just shy of normal. “It’s about a psychological space that connects you to a place,” said Ms. Newberry, who was born in San Antonio and now splits her time between Dallas and Marfa.
