A zombie is a creature that appears in folklore and popular culture typically as a reanimated corpse or a mindless human being. Stories of zombies originated in the Afro-Caribbean spiritual belief system of Vodoo, which told of the people being controlled as laborers by a powerful sorcerer. Zombies became a popular device in modern horror fiction, largely because of the success of George A. Romero's 1968 film Night of the Living Dead.(wikipedia)

The New Leica M9 ~ A camera worth selling a kidney for ?
The history of 35-mm photography began almost 100 years ago with the legendary Ur-Leica. Today, it is the Leica M9, a landmark camera that carries the proud heritage of Leica M cameras into the digital age. The Leica M9 is the world's first digital system camera of its size to be built with a full-frame sensor - a CCD sensor developed specifically for the M9 - that is capable of perfectly capturing the full 35-mm format (24 × 36 mm) in ultra-high resolution. (from Leica website)

Death Of A Master ~ Irving Penn Dies at the age of 92
" A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. "
~Irving Penn~
Irving Penn, one of the 20th century’s most prolific and influential photographers of fashion and the famous, whose signature blend of classical elegance and cool minimalism was recognizable to magazine readers and museum goers worldwide, died Wednesday morning at his home in Manhattan. He was 92.(quoted from New York Times)
Irving Penn has always been my favourite photographer. His strong graphic images struck a cord with me at a young age. I picked up his book "Passages" when it was first available and still look at it often. All his images are iconic from the portraits of high fashion models and celebrities to his fantastic mud people images to the found objects like cigarette butts ~ Pure genius. Often copied but never matched Irving Penn was a true master
While still studying photography in College, I assisted a food and product shooter who would receive Polaroids from Irving Penn for art direction. (pre-digital days) We were shooting Clinique ads and Penn would set up the composition of the bottles and shoot it at the angle he desired and then forwarded the Polaroid to the photographer. The photographer would then carry out Penn's vision. I wish I had one of those Polaroids! He will be missed.

Influences ~ Photographer Albert Watson
Albert Watson has made his mark as one of the world’s most successful fashion and commercial photographers during the last four decades, while creating his own art along the way. Over the years, his striking images have appeared on more than 250 covers of Vogue around the world and have been featured in countless other publications, from Rolling Stone to Time. Iconic portraits of rock stars, rappers, actors and other celebrities. He has also directed over 600 commercials. Albert Watson has always been one of my biggest influences.
The photo industry bible, Photo District News, named Albert one of the 20 most influential photographers of all time. He has won numerous honors, including a Lucie Award, a Grammy Award, the Hasselblad Masters Award, three ANDY Awards, and the Centenary Medal, a lifetime achievement award from the Royal Photographic Society.
Albert Watson, Naomi Campbell, Palm Springs, California (1989)
Watson recalls, 'I looked over and she was under an umbrella - right there I knew that was the shot, how perfect her head was in that raw sunlight.' The strong lines o this composition delineates Campbell's remarkable profile, like an eighteenth-century silhouette.
Albert Watson, Christy Turlington, New York (1990)
This was part of a fashion series that Watson was assigned to create at a moment when Turlington's star was continuing to rise. 'She was obviously a very good models.' 'Christy was great to work with and was always thinking, always enaging and ready for the challenges of being before the camera.'
Bowie
Marilyn Manson
Albert Watson, Mick Jagger, Los Angeles (1992)
The picture was created for Rolling Stone magazine’s twenty-fifth anniversary issue. Initially, Watson photographed a leopard. He then used a marker to draw the animal’s outline on to the viewfinder of his camera and rewound the film in the camera and made an old-fashioned double exposure.
Sade
In 2007, a large-format Watson print of a Kate Moss photograph taken in 1993 (above) sold at Christie's in London for $108,000, five times the low pre-sale estimate.Watson created probably two of the most iconic images of Moss on a shoot for German Vogue, and today they remain among his most popular pictures. At the end of a day shooting on a roof-top in Marrakech, Watson suggested he create nude photographs of Moss and she happily obliged.
Kate Moss
Jack Nicholson
LL Cool J
Alfred Hitchcock
Albert Watson, Near Abilene, Texas (1987)
Watson wanted to shoot fashion in direct light and so he took advantage of the intense, raw Texas sunlight. ‘Simplicity. The challenge is to take a complex image and to make the photograph simply, but with elegance.’
P Diddy and Warhol
Prince
Mike Tyson
Born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, Albert studied graphic design and later film and television at the Royal College of Art in London. He was an elementary school teacher in LA and shooting just as a hobby when he got his first big break when he was introduced to art director at Max Factor. Born blind in one eye he chose “Cyclops” (1994) as the title of his first published book of photographs.
Watson recalls, 'I looked over and she was under an umbrella - right there I knew that was the shot, how perfect her head was in that raw sunlight.' The strong lines o this composition delineates Campbell's remarkable profile, like an eighteenth-century silhouette.

Albert Watson, Leslie Navajas, Miami, Florida (1989)
A storm was approaching as Watson positioned one woman at the rear of the car. The image was captured just at the moment the models in the car were about to get out. It is a perfect example of Watson using a cinema-style effect to create energy and narrative.
