Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everybody! Hope you're all getting super excited for the weekend... I have been enjoying an unexpected day off to get ready for a nice and relaxing couple of days. So in the spirit of happy fridays and getting out from behind the desk to enjoy the sites over the weekend, I thought I'd share with you a few pics from my iphone. Captured by foot, car or public transport from the streets of the fabulous city I currently call home - Melbourne. betty xx

Frances Bean through the lens of Hedi Slimane

As a teenager of the 90's, I was a lover of all things grunge... big holed thrift shop cardies, ripped jeans and of course Nirvana. Which is why I just had to share with you these amazing pictures of, the now very grown up, Frances Bean - offspring of the talented Kurt Cobain and his crazy lover Courtney. Shot through the lens of Hedi Slimane as found on his online diary, the images are beautiful and poetic. And when you look at them, you see a glimmer of Kurt, a hole lot of Courtney, and suddenly it all Smells A Bit Like Teen Spirit.

Creature

Below is a selection of shots from Andrew Zukermans book Creature - a hard cover collection of strikingly detailed photography, collating 175 portraits from the wild. Shot in a stark white studio set-up, the animals are beautifully depicted with a graphic sensitivity and warmth. A simply stunning body of work.
