Joyeuses Pâques!

Happy Easter! My memories of Easter are vast. I have very good ones associated with Easter egg hunts where I felt rich if I found an egg with $1 inside. I also have not-so-good memories of wearing itchy tights, hats and Nanny's hand-made, smock dresses for church on Easter Sunday. Afterward, we would go to Centennial Park (in Nashville, TN) and take pictures with all the red and yellow tulips. The rest of the memories are associated with baskets full of delicious Reese's eggs and MAC gift cards and spending time lounging with the fam. Enjoy these Easter-ish, pastel-y photos.

In the line of fire, Part I: Professional Photos.

Mitrailler: transitive verb

1. to machine-gun;

2. ~ qn de questions to fire questions at sb;

3. (familiar) to take photo after photo of [somebody/something]

 Prepared to be machine-gunned (mitraillé) in the 1st and 3rd sense by a line of photos that have been hiding in my computer files for too long. Yes ladies and gents, this blog post is the no-man's-land of photo shots. Some you have seen rehashed through the blogger sphere. Some you haven't. File through them and save the ones you like. At least that's what I do. (Yeah, I know. I've had a gun/war theme lately. I guess I'm turning into the GUN CRAZY/ WAR MONGERING AMERICAN stereotype).


First, we have Sebastian Kim

 (oh how I heart Alison Mosshart: Girl Crush!)

(Oh how I heart Jenny Lewis! Troop Beverly Hills Anyone? {Girl Crush #2!})

Then, we have Wendy Bevan

 These photos remind me of Atonement (before the war, of course).

 Next, we have Miles Aldridge. Saturated color. Suggestive material. Parody of Suburbia. Fashionable Banality. Retro Throwback.  Pissed-off or numb housewives.The distressed, scorned woman in need of a savior. But can she be saved?

Oh how I love the theme of  unhappy Stepford/ Mrs. Robinson-esque housewives.Hmm...I wonder why?

 The ones above and below are my FAVS. Beautiful color schemes.

They really are endless amounts of Miles Aldridge jewels. You should just search yourself.

Lastly, we have Bruno Dayan. Magical. Lovely. Deep Hues. Sensual.

...To be continued. With Flickr photo gems (or bullets--to harp on the war analogy!)
