Corinne Day

Yesterday my good friend Andy called to tell me about the photographer Corinne Day who passed away after a long fight with cancer. I was not familiar with her work and he thought I should look her up. I'm so glad I did. She was best known for her work in the early nineties when the "heroin chic" look was popular. Not that I'm sad to see that look go, but I really do like her work. Many of the photos here were shot for various European Vogue publications and although they have that slick editorial look, they also have a roughness to them that you don't typically see in fashion magazines. Corinne's work reminds me of a slicker Nan Goldin. The fashion/art world lost a very talented person yesterday.

All of these images were taken from Corinne Day's website found here.

Thursdays

I've edited a couple of more photos and think I'll get some prints made for my shop. I'm really not having much luck selling the photos in my shop so I thought before I get some printed up I would ask for some advice and feedback. Any suggestions on something I could be doing or not doing?

I still have one free print available for the next purchase of ten dollars or more! I made three sales, just one more to go!

Things are continuing to move along with my house. Updates soon.

Don't forget to keep checking in with the Blog It Forward/Blog Mash-up Schedule.

I just discovered this blog, A Beautiful Mess, on the Pretty Little Thieves blog and I have to say I'm smitten. I love the name...

Go here to find out details on a sweet anniversary sale happening until Friday.

Feeling a little crazy gaga about this amazing artwork.

This morning I saw a teeny tiny little worm on the bedspread. I freaked out. I got made fun of.

Happy Thursday. Be sure to watch The Office tonight...
