Cool people from the Past: Tashamira

I wanted to post this on my blog for a long time… Tashamira was a Croatian dancer and choreographer whose real name was Vera Milcinovic. When I saw her photos from 1930′s at the exhibition ‘Avant Garde Tendencies in Croatian Art’ few years ago, I was completely thrilled.

Darlene Delbecq’s kaleidoscopic and steampunk photography

Sometimes I really like small ‘pocket’ photography exhibitions, especially if they present photographer’s particular cycle, because you can sharpen your view, your perception and, somehow it forces you to immerse deeply into the idea…

In the age when everything is being so procurable via the net, it’s a little bit strange when you find out that there aren’t many web sites covering the career of such an interesting photographer as Darlene Delbecq.
