Professor Zero has given me a Splash award. For elegance, she said. Elegance: that delighted me. I read Zero's post with unwashed clothes piled onto the dresser behind me and unwashed dishes stacked in the kitchen nearby. Now it falls to me to nominate the blogs which allure, amuse, bewitch, impress and inspire me. If you want to know why you have been nominated and what to do now, here are the guidelines (which you, of course, need not necessarily heed):The Splash award is given to alluring, amusing, bewitching, impressive, and inspiring blogs. When you receive this award, you must:
1. Put the logo on your blog/post.
2. Nominate up to 9 blogs which allure, amuse, bewitch, impress or inspire you.
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.

5. Remember to link to the person from whom you received your Splash award.

ReplyDeleteMany great pictures that he took and a good Dadaist this is a fav pic of the upright woman
ReplyDeleteA good Dadaist, yes. The upright woman is eerie and surreal. Her skin and body seem inhumanly perfect. I wish I knew more about his technique. Is it a collage or some trick he discovered in the dark room to make the foreground appear superimposed as it does?
