Richard Brautigan. Trout Fishing in America.
The more awkward the cover, the more I love. Cut and paste, black and white. Freewheelin’ trips! Richard Brautigan’s title-less cover is worth indeed, one thousand words. And check the Paul Bowles’ Alvin Lustig cover, wow.

BS led me to this wonderfully moving site Some Photos of The Day. New York based photographer, film-maker, circus performer Jamie Livingston took a Polaroid a day from October 1979 until the day he died of cancer, March 31 1997. Here are some of the 6,000 something photos. It was so hard to choose! This site has been blogged about for awhile now, especially since the news of Polaroid film production will soon end. View them all, it’s love and heartbreak, beautiful works.

Wow. I found a Lee Miller exhibition via the V&A and am completely in awe of her life and photography. Inspiring, indeed.
Elizabeth ‘Lee’ Miller (23 April 1907 - 21 July 1977) was an American photographer. Born in Poughkeepsie, New York State in 1907, she was a successful fashion model in New York City in the 1920s before going to Paris where she became an established fashion and fine art photographer. During the Second World War, she became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine covering event such as the London Blitz, the liberation of Paris, and the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau.
View more of her work via Lee Miller Archives, organized by category: Portraits, Romania, Egypt, Fashion, Paris, New York, WWII and more.
