La Monnaie de Paris présentent Willy Ronis « Une poétique de l'engagement »
Le Jeu de Paume et la Monnaie de Paris rendent hommage à Willy Ronis, récemment disparu et dont 2010 marque le centenaire de la naissance. Cette exposition offrira une vision renouvelée de ce grand photographe en présentant près de 150 photographies : celles qui l’ont rendu célèbre dans l’histoire de la photographie, mais aussi d’autres images totalement inédites, prises lors de ses nombreux voyages. « Mes photos ne sont pas des revanches contre la mort et je ne connais pas d’angoisse existentielle. Je ne sais même pas où je vais, sauf au-devant – plus ou moins fortuitement – de choses ou de gens que j’aime, qui m’intéressent ou me dérangent. » Willy Ronis Le Jeu de Paume et la Monnaie de Paris présentent Willy Ronis - « Une poétique de l'engagement » Du 16 avril au 22 août 2010 Monnaie de Paris 11 quai de Conti 75 006 Paris

Kanye West at Louis Vuitton's mens show
I found it a rather thrilling choice..
I also found model, Libor from the Czech Republic rather thrilling too! Naturally I just had to "mingle" backstage amongst these very charming LV fellows and pose for a photo or two...

DENNIS STOC
DENNIS STOCK, JAMES DEAN PHOTOGRAPHER, DIES
Dennis Stock, the man responsible for the Life magazine photo of James Dean in an overcoat and with a cigarette in his mouth while walking down rain-soaked Times Square, died Monday night at a hospital in Sarasota, Fla. Diagnosed with cancer, he contracted pneumonia a few days ago. Stock was 81.
According to the Los Angeles Times obit, Stock met Dean at a 1954 party hosted by Nicholas Ray, who would direct the actor in Rebel Without a Cause (1955).
The Times Square photo was part of a photo essay published in Lifein 1955, which ominously included an image of Dean posing inside a coffin in a funeral home casket showroom in Fairmount, Ind., where Dean had spent much of his time while growing up.
The 24-year-old actor would die in a car crash in Cholame, Calif., on Sept. 30, 1955. Dean received two posthumous Oscar nominations, for Elia Kazan’sEast of Eden (1955) and for George Stevens‘ Giant (1956).
"I liked him sometimes, but not all the time," Stock told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune in 2005. "But he was like family after a while. We really bonded in Indiana. Not in New York, where he was distracted a lot. He was an insomniac and didn’t get a lot of sleep and was a pain in the ass to work with."
Among other stars in the world of film and music that Stock photographed were Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Louis Armstrong,Billie Holiday and Miles Davis.
