slim aarons

tonight i was at the strand and came across this book of photographs by slim aaron. he was a photographer who described his own career as "photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places"... and, fun fact (via good ole wikipedia) - he never used a makeup artist or stylist. here are some (ok, a lot) of my favorites i have found while searching for more of his pics:


christmas with humphrey bogart & lauren bacall, no biggie.


well, hello there truman.





nice pants




clark gable, van heflin, gary cooper, jimmy stewart. just chillin'

joan collins + pink poodle

(photos found here, here, here and here)

that picture, the one with nice pants, is like one of my favorite photographs, it is lilly pulitzer and her husband
