If your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough.
Clever and fun work from L.A. photographer Amanda Rynda and the more-than-willing (and able) couple, Juliana Park and Ben Lee, who might need to revise the meal selections on their wedding RSVP card:
☐ Beef Tenderloin
☐ Roasted Chicken
☐ Salmon
☐ Brains

I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.
Before and later. Brilliant. (Via)

Luscious imagery from the most classic era. Leonard’s stark, shadowy and smoldering work, like contemporary William Claxton’s, is what I see whenever the music plays. Pity that Leonard passed before he saw this collection released.
A 2009 documentary entitled “Frame After Frame: The Images of Herman Leonard” offered a solid historical and artistic portrait of the photographer as he salvaged his extensive negative and print archive from his New Orleans home, post-Katrina.
