.....

I love these photos, I keep going back and looking at them. The first is haunting and the second is mesmerizing.

Thanks.... I wonder, since like haunting if you know of Francesca Woodman? Beautiful photographs and a tragic life story that's worth exploring.

Georges Melies was a magician turned film maker/producer/actor. He is accredited with making
two of the earliest and most influential science fiction movies called A Trip to the Moon and The Impossible Voyage. He is renowned for his special effects and hand colouring his films. His company Star Film also produced stag films which were a precursor to pornos.

Just a side note Joan Crawford made stag films back in the 1920s that dogged her entire career.

I love photography but my knowledge in that area is a little sketchy so ty for the introduction to some lovely works. Although I am a huge fan of Diane Arbus but who isn't?
I found Tenneson's use of filters added a subtle hue to her work. At first it was enjoyable but after viewing a wide sample of her photographs it came across as overplayed. Her flower portfolio being the exception. I almost wish there had been more experimentation in the body of work to break up the monotony. Her photos of seniors and children held a realism that I fell in love with but the 'pretty' photos were pedestrian at best. I would say she has strokes of genius but those strokes aren't made with a wide brush - yet. It'll be interesting to see how her talent develops and branches out. She has a solid foundation to build on, something very few of us are afforded the opportunity to have.

I'm particularly fond of these ones:

who painted that pic.?
It would be masterful, if not for the fact that they used a fat middle-aged pawn-shop owner s a child model.
Duccio di Buoninsegna.
He used egg tempera which contains egg yolk as a binder. Tempera was widely used from the 1st Century until the 1500s when oil paint became the preferred medium.
