Meet my new friend.
Ahh I was so excited when I saw it. It's a camera lens but it's a flask too!
A combination of photography and tea, two of my most favourite things.
ALSO
If any of you are mildly into photography; I recommend purchasing some photography books.
The amount of inspirational artists and captivating art crammed into the many books is never ending.
I especially love 'The Photo Book' PHAIDON pictured below
You can probably buy them in places like Waterstones, WHSmiths too.
One of my many favourite photographs from this book is by an artist called Eddie Adams.
It's called 'STREET EXECUTION OF A VIETCONG PRISONER'
Although this photograph may send shivers down your spine, I find the more you look at it, the more you don't want to look away.
This photograph was taken at the exact time the bullet entered this prisoners head.
Adams captured this as more of a reflex action but it quickly became the most acclaimed photo from the Vietnam war.
A similar photo is by Robert Capa-
'FALLING SOLDIER'
A few more of my favourites;
Alfred Eisenstaedt -'V-J DAY in Times Square'
Donna Ferrato - 'LISA- MOMENTS AFTER HER HUSBAND BEAT HER'
TONI FRISSELL- 'UNDERWATER MODEL'
ARTHUR F.KALES- 'THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS'
MICHAEL WELLS - 'HANDS'
Some of these photos may indeed be quite numbing to the heart and mind however they are all marvellous photographs. The photos that do startle you the most have some kind of overwhelming power to make you really sit there and think.
