Jimmy James Dean.

Anyone who is familiar with me knows that I have had very little success with camera retention (not to dwell on things, but think eight digital cameras in four years…i mean, college happens).  That being said, I tried to avoid my mother’s look of disbelief (with some disgust on the side) when I asked for a “real camera”— not some small digi (I’ve actually held on to my most recent one for about eight months now) but one with a big body, huge lens…a fanastic SLR camera so I can build up to one like the ‘razzi have.  My mom is very big into photography so I’m just hoping my track record has zero influence on her excitement that I’m getting into something she loves.

Anyway, Urban Outfitters has a fun little selection of manual cameras available right now (with one or two digitals mixed in there).  Most use 35mm film but there are a few that use rarer film of sorts so be sure to check with your closest camera shop to make sure they can develop that kind of film before purchasing (irrelevant if you have your own dark room obviously).

I learned photography on a manual camera and my mom is a firm believer that all people should— despite her love for her current Canon EOS and its lens that’s probably worth more than my life, she keeps her Canon F-1 from the ’70s locked up and far out of site from my sister and I).  No matter what filters you use on a digital camera, you still can’t fully replicate an authentic vintage and artsy touch of a manual one.

Kind of like this camera compilation more than the fashion look ones that I make.  Click on image for more product information.

“And take your feelings with you.”

Taken from a co-worker’s blog, so eloquently put:

This piece blew my mind sufficiently for me to post about it. I think it’s exceptional that a new technological interpretation of a legendary artwork can give people new eyes to see it with.

I saw the original while in university and visiting Madrid. I thought it was powerful then. I think this adds a layer that is valuable, and perhaps enables more novice art viewers to dive deeper into a piece.

This December 8th, some 35 pieces of Audrey Hepburn’s wardrobe will be sold at a London auction in the largest clothing sale to belong to an actress yet.  In good films and in bad, Audrey Hepburn established both her lasting career and marvelous style throughout the years and now fans will finally have a chance to emulate her class in the most authentic way.  Fifty percent of the proceeds from the sale held in conjunction with Sotheby’s will be donated to the Audrey Hepburn Children’s Fund and UNICEF.  Some highlights include a haute couture cloque silk dress by Givenchy, which she wore to promote “Paris when it Sizzles,” as well as a black Givenchy Chantilly lace cocktail dress, worn by Hepburn in, “How to Steal a Million.”  The former is estimated to sell for $17,000 to $25,000 (possibly more) while the latter is estimated at about $30,000.  Some not-so-surprising expectations.
