after party

Did you watch the Oscars last night? 

If you did, are you in it for the red carpet? The teary acceptance speeches? The old-fashioned tinsletown celebration or the cynical how-long-can-this-go-on spectacle of it?

I, myself, am partial to the gowns and the glamor. I get drawn in to the sweeping musical numbers and get a little weepy with all of the emotional thank-yous. And it's worth the hours of settling in for all of that when you catch a quick glimpse of (my favorite) Doris Kearns Goodwin walking the post-show red carpet arm in arm with a victorious Daniel Day-Lewis and Rebecca Miller, off to celebrate, the chumiest of chums. 

Ah, Hollywood.

Inge Morath

Arthur Miller & Inge Morath at their home in Connecticut, 1962

Inge Morath is one of those artists that I just keep coming back to and she never fails to inspire. Not just for her photography, which is fascinating to me, but by her ability to be a life-long-learner, consistently adapting to and embedding herself in the many countries and cultures that she inhabited in her life.

Inge, incognito

Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller on the set of The Misfits, photographed by Morath. Miller wrote the part for one-time-wife Monroe in his screenplay. He and Morath met on the set, where she and other photographers (including Henri Cartier-Bresson) were documenting the production.

'Photography is a strange phenomenon...
You trust your eye and cannot help but bare your soul.'
Inge Morath
