Andy Warhol Paparazzo — Italian for pesky — is synonymous with Ron Galella, the photographer who made his name capturing celebrities in unguarded, often private moments. Famously banned from approaching Jackie Onassis and punched by Marlon Brando, Galella was a favorite of Andy Warhol, who shared his fascination with the great and near-great. Warhol himself recorded his nightly rounds through a seemingly endless parade of parties, openings, and happenings in his diaries. In these photographs Galella presents the definitive visual diary of Warhol's life and times, his entourage, and his haunts. Through his Interview column, “Glenn O'Brien's Beat,” O'Brien was a key commentator on the period. His text places Galella in Warhol's world and in the history of modern photography, describing his ground-breaking work, which Warhol was the first to recognize as “the great unauthorized portrait of our time”. http://www.rongalella.com/books.html
The children My Mom and I were trying to hide the giggles. The look on all of their faces when he began to cry was priceless. The thought of this rough and tough little guy getting so upset over a Barbie Doll was so comical to us. We told him we would buy him his own Barbie for his birthday and then he could brush her hair whenever he wanted. I don't think his Dad will be too happy with us, but it certainly stopped the tears. Something tells me that last photo might be one that makes it's appearance some day when Aidan is least expecting it and his Mom will embarrass him with the story behind it. A totally priceless moment caught by the camera! http://thelongroadtochina.blogspot.com/

When Regimes Won't End: Mubarak with Mugabe, Against All On the persistence of dictators who are shown the door but still won't leave One of my favourite signs to accompany the vast crowds in Cairo's Tahrir Square and Alexandria last weekend was the one declaring simply, "Game over." You'd see the phrase printed on placards, scribbled on pieces of cardboard, and painted hurriedly on walls. It managed to convey several things at once: a sense of finality, both exhausted and impatient, over the passing of a hated regime; the impression of a video game concluding before it's simply switched off; and the idea of political theatre at last being called for what it is before it exits stage left. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/side-effects/201102/when-regimes-wont-end-mubarak-mugabe-against-all
