Rescued Images of Clarence H. White

One of my recent finds while out and about thrifting was an early 1970s Camera magazine. The two photographers featured were Diane Arbus and Clarence H. White. While I was familiar with the work of the former, Mr. White was someone whose work I'd never seen before. I instantly fell in love with these images, and saved the magazine, (which was falling apart at the seams) so that I could frame his work and put it up in my apartment. Now I just need to find the right spot in my place to display these lovely women.

Clarence Hudson White (April 8, 1871 – July 7, 1925) was an American photographer and a founding member of the Photo-Secession movement. During his lifetime he was widely recognized as a master of the art form for his consummate sentimental, pictorial portraits and for his excellence as a teacher of photography.

My favorites of all of the images are the girls playing the game in the sun-lit room, and both of the pictures in the last photo. Beautiful!

Freedom Must Feel Like This

Today one of my lovely twitter friends introduced me to the images of photographer
RYAN MCGINLEY.

I love them.

Winter honestly had me feeling like a crumpled up love note in a dirty old waste paper basket.

I'm ready to BREAK FREE. Aren't you?

So far the beginning of March is fantastic!
This past week it's been sunny where I live every single day, and not just dull sunny either. The brilliantly bright kind of sunny. That kind of light makes everything gorgeous. I'm so inspired to take pictures these days.

But more than that, I'm starting to literally ACHE for a road trip, a place far away, new territory to explore.
It's true, the W a n d e r l u s t bug has bitten.

These photographs just make the longing felt even more.

XOXO
