These Ray-Ban adverts by Antonin Kratochvil remind me alot of the Levi adverts that i posted by Joseph Rodriguez. The concept seems similar, they really stand out.

Bill Charles' website shows the amazing portfolio's of really great photographers. For example the work of Gilles Peress, below.
Le Grand Meaulness
Alain-Fournier writes about the mysterious world between childhood and adulthood. Interestingly the heroine of the book Yvonne was based on the real life love of the young author. Sadly this was his only book as he was killed in the first world war.
This is, in my opinion, such a beautifully written book and although was written in 1912 still has relevance to today's society.
William Tempest
In relation to my last post about Hampton Court's tudor exhibition, William Tempest launched his new collection in a show at Somerset House. He took inspiration from the courts of Tudor England, taking historical costume details such as exaggerated collars, shoulders and hips, and making them utterly modern with razor-sharp tailoring and the use of hyper-real digital photographic prints of photos taken at Hampton Court Palace presented on georgette silks, Duchess satins and silk moires.
I came across this painting when at the Henry the 8th exhibition at Hampton Court. The portrait depicts Henry the 8th, his son Edward and his third wife, Jane Seymour. What is so intriguing about the image is that in reality these individuals could never had been seen together. Jane Seymour died in child birth with Edward and yet we see them sitting side by side Henry in the picture. This is evident of Henry's desire to create this image of a happy family, that in real life he never had.
