Fixing my Polaroid cam cam in my new hat hat.

Finally
after a couple of years of
waiting
in between
sweatshirts
woolies
and mittens
my Polaroid
is up for
business again.

Hooray we say
and buy some
more fancy hats

Lee Miller's War

Lee Miller (1907-1977) first entered the world of photography in NYC as a model. In 1929 she went to Paris and succeeded in establishing her own studio. She was later recognised as a VOGUE photographer.

Lee Mille'r War shows the photographs she took as a combat photojournalist covering the second World War in Europe.

The exhibition is amazing. The photographs show a great variety of people, emotions and destinies in the war-ridden Europe in the 1940s. Some of the images show models waiting in the back of a fashion show, the others hard corpses waiting for burial at a concentration camp. And the most famous one shows the brave Lee Miller bathing in Adolf Hitler's bath tube.
She wore her combat boots to the bathroom and stained his bathroom floor with dust from Dachau. Just because.
