The Lasting Nature of Film

Film reigned for more than 150 years.  During that time, many iconic images were created with it.  Now, you can own a very nice (and not inexpensive) print of some of those images.  


Conde´ Nast, publishers of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and GQ among others, have an online store where they offer high quality prints of images that have appeared in their magazines.  These are not the images you typically find in magazines.  These are works of art by some of the luminaries of the photographic world captured on film.  These images capture writers, actors, athletes and musicians that have shaped our culture.  


These images are amazing.  They are perfect.  They are a source of inspiration.


Take a moment to find a favorite.  Mine is the portrait of Alfred Hitchcock.
