Keith Richards in Lawrence of Arabia Cosplay
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
-T.E. Lawrence

It is O.K. To Love Billy Joel
We totally won't judge you. Or make fun of you or anything like that. We accept him, and we accept his thoughtful contributions to music video culture. He's totally not a dork.
Yes Billy, we love you just the way you are!

Time for a Little R & R | Burt and the Good Doctor
Dr. Ruth and Burt Reynolds enjoy a friendly embrace...It was an astounding kind of time and I've often said to people, if I met you between `73 and `78, I'm sorry, I don`t remember three or four of those years.

Portrait of the Artist as a Film Still | Cindy Sherman
.jpg)
Untitled Film Still #7, Cindy Sherman, 1978.By turning the camera on herself, Cindy Sherman has built a name as one of the most respected photographers of the late twentieth century. The majority of her photographs are pictures of her, yet these photographs are most definitely not self-portraits. Rather, Sherman uses herself as a vehicle for commentary on a variety of issues of the modern world: the role of the woman, the role of the artist and many more.
The Untitled Film Stills are all black and white photos in which Sherman places herself as an unnamed actress in shots reminiscent of foreign films, Hollywood pictures, B-movies, and film noir. In each of these photographs, Sherman plays a type -- not an actual person, but a self-fabricated fictional one: the archetypal housewife, the prostitute, the woman in distress, or the woman in tears.
In her work, Sherman is both revealed and hidden, named and nameless. She explained to the New York Times in 1990, "I feel I'm anonymous in my work. When I look at the pictures, I never see myself; they aren't self-portraits. Sometimes I disappear."
