Barbara Stanwyck by George Hurrell, 1937 for Esquire magazine. "I played romantic music that went with her rather ethereal mood that day", recalled Hurrell.

September 28, 1950: John Sayles is born. Parlaying his fees as a screenwriter of mainstream Hollywood films into funding for his own ambitious filmmaking projects, he created an oeuvre in which the personal and the political intersect at the heart of the American experience.

Bryan Ferry by Johnny Dewe-Mathews June 1974 "Like Baudelaire’s dandy, he lives his entire life in front of a mirror. He glazes out occasionally, seeming to absent himself from the conversation." - Charles Nicholl Remarkable shot: he's looking at a contact sheet of photos, presumably of himself.

Colour photo of Ferry wearing sunglasses. Reflected in the lenses you can see a contact strip of photographs in his hands.

This photograph captures the essence of kōyō (or momijigari, the seasonal custom of autumn foliage viewing), a cherished pastime in Japan that dates back to the refined courtly culture of the Heian period (794–1185).

Framed in a breathtaking display of autumn brilliance, a towering canopy of fiery crimson Japanese maple (momiji) and luminous golden ginkgo (ichō) expands above a rugged, hand-stacked stone retaining wall (ishigaki). At the base of the wall, a thick, glowing carpet of fallen ginkgo leaves covers the earth like a golden tapestry. Standing amidst this fallen foliage are two quiet figures holding bright, matching umbrellas—one vibrant yellow and one deep red—strikingly echoing the dual-colored canopy towering above them. The soft, diffused light of a damp autumn day illuminates the scene, evoking the tactile coolness of mountain air, the subtle scent of damp earth, and the quiet rustle of fallen leaves underfoot.
Both the maple and ginkgo serve as quintessential fūbutsushi—poetic seasonal markers that signify the peak of autumn across the archipelago. The presence of the weathered stone masonry and the corner of a traditional timber building suggests the sanctuary of a temple or shrine precinct nestled in the mountains. Here, the deliberate integration of architectural stonework with the surrounding forest demonstrates the enduring tradition of Japanese monozukuri (artisanal mastery in environmental design), where human cultivation acts in gentle harmony with the wild cycles of nature.
