When you think of some of the most iconic images of the greatest personalities of the twentieth century, ones of powerful politicians, charming actors and actresses, artists, and so on, you'd be surprised that they were taken by a select few photographers. One of those select few was Philippe Halsman, a Latvian-born photographer who was considered to be one of the best portraitists in the entire world. And as you'll learn, he's the author of many well-known portraits, some of which the celebrities are remembered by, like his portrait of John. F. Kennedy, Salvador Dali, Alfred Hitchcock, Audrey Hepburn, and many, many more. Let's not waste our breath any more and let's jump to the pictures, which might leave you breathless.

I make original portraits of famous writers and persons. I try to show their works (novels, poems, historical events) on their face. For every piece of my work I need approximately 30-40 hours, because I draw with rapidographs, and I love doing things in a more complicated way so my drawing technique is dotting.

This particular sickness tends to kick in each year in late July and lasts through the month of October. My disease? I'm a Halloweenaholic. And each year, I promise myself that I won't purchase any new decorations for my beloved holiday. Well, in true Halloweenaholic form, I've already broken that promise and it's only mid-September. I realize that having double digits worth of plastic storage tubs filled with Halloween paraphernalia means I have a serious disease. Don't believe me? Here I am with Mel (in our master bedroom pre-reno) in front of the majority of our Halloween decor. Decorating for this holiday usually takes several longs days and late nights, often without food, water, showering or changing from one's pajamas (or at least that's what this picture makes you believe). Yes folks, it doesn't get any sexier than Halloween socks. Me-ow. You may recall that I've already ordered the invitations for our annual costume party. (Which, by the way, arrived much earlier than the 21 day expected delivery. I guess that makes me the winner in my game of expedited shipping chicken.) While I showed the front of the invitation in that post, I failed to show you the reverse: I don't know what it is...
