EYES IN THE NAKED CITY


Someone has to bring them back into the daylight: Weegee's pictures of criminals, jazz birds and lovers caught in the naked nights of New York City.
If there is a higher spirit out there giving a photographer the opportunity to catch a precise moment, Weegee must have been drinking prohibited whisky with this guy. He always knew when and where; always the first to arrive at a bloody murder scene, a fire, arrest or rescue event...

"When you find yourself beginning to feel a bond between yourself and the people you photograph, when you laugh and cry with their laughter and tears, you will know you are on the right track."

A tribute to Usher Fellig.

LA VIE EST UNE BLAGUE

Indeed. And if I had 11 111 111,11 YUAN on my bank account I would be a fashion victim for good... question MArk.

What can I tell you about the new ELEVEN winter collection? Rock, rehab, lethargic, pfffff no? Casting Jagger and Stymest for the new campagne however was an abusive idea to cure their image... and as you might know, I am into all kind of violations. So please: Don't follow my lead.


Live is a joke, joke is a tribute. This one goes out to
ELEVEN PARIS:
