Makes me happy to think about the warmth of these secret spaces

Feburary

Alas, our long evenings are shortening. For the last week or so I have been noting each and every of the earliest autumn leaves on the ground. February marks the end of summer. It is always hottest once all the little people return to school, drink bottles filled with cordial frozen over-night by intelligent guardians, both destined to sweat it up and melt. I was worried about my first summer in country Victoria, but I have rather enjoyed it more than the three days of summer which Hobart generally delivers. Cold showers are fun, icy poles can be for dinner, fruit salad improves throughout the day, and raspberry fizzy is medicine. Here are some things from my summer, in not order and just off the top of my head

The end of everything

While browsing in Paradise Books, I came across a photograph of Marilyn Monroe, which I am sure, I had never seen. Andre de Dienes is the photographer and the photos where taken in either 1952 or 1953. The text stated that Monroe had called de Dienes late one night unable to sleep and in the grip of a dark depression. He picked her up and they took these shots in the dingy back alleys of the Hollywood hills. The cars headlights light the shots. Monroe told de Dienes to title the shots The end of everything. They seem like stills from a dark little fairytale.

Can't Stop Looking

I came across this set of wedding photos by Sean Flanigan via Les Yeux sans Visage, and I just keep looking at them, in fact I can't seem to stop looking at them.

I like that the shots that are totally staged look totally staged and the ones that are not, do not . I like that Christina is not smiling in all of the shots and it reminds me of a friend of mine who cannot smile on queue. I do feel a tad creepy for looking at them so much. Photographs that capture my attention this much are usually older and the moments they capture long past.  

Wish Wish Wish

I do not read many fashion blogs, but I like popping by Wish Wish Wish every now and again it is so fresh, neat and pretty. Recently Carrie posted about Sounds of the Woods, a little film she made in the woods for Nadinoo, it is very pretty, and I particularly love this still.

Danger Angels

I only wish this was going to be a film.
