RUSSIA, 1909-1912, BY Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii

With images from southern and central Russia in the news lately due to extensive wildfires, I thought it would be interesting to look back in time with this extraordinary collection of color photographs taken between 1909 and 1912. In those years, photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II. He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images. The high quality of the images, combined with the bright colors, make it difficult for viewers to believe that they are looking 100 years back in time – when these photographs were taken, neither the Russian Revolution nor World War I had yet begun. Collected here are a few of the hundreds of color images made available by the Library of Congress, which purchased the original glass plates back in 1948.

REST IN PEACE CORINNE DAY | 1965 – 2010

KATE MOSS by CORINNE DAY, circa 1990

Corinne Day (born 1965), is a British fashion photographer, documentary photographer.

Working together with fashion stylist Melanie Ward, and hair stylist Drew Jarrett, Day used Kate Moss as the model in an eight-page fashion story titled “The 3rd Summer of Love,” which was published in The Face, in July 1990—the story showcased garments by Romeo Gigli, Joseph Tricot, Ralph Lauren, and a feather head-dress from the now-defunct Covent Garden boutique World. The photographs, which include one depicting Moss topless and another in which it is implied that she is naked, are some of the first published fashion photographs of Kate Moss, who was sixteen when they were taken (since 2003, the Sexual Offences Act, designates that those under eighteen are protected and defined as children). In 1993, Day photographed Moss for the cover of British Vogue—a cover that has become associated with defining the ‘waif’ look that became pervasive in fashion culture, in the early 1990s. In 2006, Day had a solo exhibition of her photographs at Gimpel fils gallery in London. In 2007, Day was commissioned to photograph Kate Moss by the National Portrait Gallery. Discussing the shoot, Day Said, “I suggested to Kate that we have a conversation about a serious subject. The subject she chose to talk about revealed her true feelings and in turn defined her character.” On August 7, 2009, an article on Models.com reported that Corinne Day had been diagnosed with a life threatening brain tumor.

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE PHOTO FROM HER SERIES OF KATE MOSS IN THE 90′S.

PRESENTING: Mila Krasnoiarova, FROM GAME MODEL MANAGEMENT, PARIS

MILA KRASNOIAROVA

A very new face from Game Model Management in Paris, this Ukrainian babe was scouted on the street in her home town of Mariupol. A die hard fan of Balmain, and with her passion and perfect beauty, it’s easy to tell that Mila is destined for the Parisian catwalks. Come September and it will be game on for Miss Mila.

What is wrong with peace that its inspiration doesn’t endure?

KATE MOSS by CORINNE DAY

Tell me, muse, of the storyteller who has been thrust to the edge of the world, both an infant and an ancient, and through him reveal everyman. With time, those who listened to me became my readers. They no longer sit in a circle, bur rather sit apart. And one doesn’t know anything about the other. I’m an old man with a broken voice, but the tale still rises from the depths, and the mouth, slightly opened, repeats it as clearly, as powerfully. A liturgy for which no one needs to be initiated to the meaning of words and sentences. HOMER, the aged poet.
