Photographs by Philipe Halsman
"Portraiture is one of the greatest challenges in photography, because the human face
is elusive and often mask-like, with practiced expressions for the standard range of
emotions. Some photographers accept these preset expressions- think of annual-report
portraits of corporate officers - an others try to eliminate expression altogether, to get a
picture as neutral as a wanted poster. Halsman was determinded to show his sitters with
masks off but their true seves in place." - text via the Smithsonian

Last Saturday my friend Adina invited me to go with her to see this performance of her friend
Dynasty Handbag. It wasn't pretty, and not something I normally write about, but I really loved
it, it was intelligent, entertaining and well executed. If you think you might be amused by
wackado schizophernia go see her. She is amazing! She is performing Friday and Saturday
nights at Dixon thru 24 July.
Film by Sofia Coppola releasing at the end of December this year.
