take back your picture in a frame....

after reading a dlisted post on naomi campbell, i thought of this herb ritts' photo of her from 1990. this is still one of my all time favorite photographs in the world. i was slightly obsessed with it in highschool.

i had completely forgotten about his work even though i was huge fan of it in the nineties. he's taken some of my favorite photographs of madonna and some of my favorite photos in general. he was such a talented artist and being the dingbat that i am, i had completely forgotten he died almost 8 years ago from AIDS related complications. so sad, still seems like a terrible loss but his legacy lives on through his gorgeous photos.

anyways, here are some of my favorites, naomi is first.....
