Noted Disclaimer:
In case it need be said, this is a safe-for-work venture, in the same way that all of my predecessor 'rolling galleries' have been set as such, and I intend to keep to that aim. Please respect that this collective, of which you may or not wish to participate in, should and can be viewed be all members of the forum at their leisure, and in a formal / public setting, without being exposed to criticisms and/or crass imagery. I'm rarely one to inhibit some one's personal predilections, but if you feel the inkling to share some skin in this topic, please try as best as you can to fulfill that urge elsewhere. I thank you for your understanding, I appreciate any and most viewership, participation, and commentary, and I sincerely hope that you will come to visit this theme's undertaking on a regular basis as it is updated with future content for your personal enjoyment.
Thus is my aim - this is the goal.

Collection: The North American Indian Photography of Edward Curtis - Edward S. Curtis, a professional photographer in Seattle, devoted his life to documenting what was perceived to be a vanishing race. His monumental publication The North American Indian presented to the public an extensive ethnographical study of numerous tribes, and his photographs remain memorable icons of the American Indian. The Smithsonian Libraries holds a complete set of this work, which includes photogravures on tissue, donated by Mrs. Edward H. Harriman, whose husband had conducted an expedition to Alaska with Curtis in 1899.

Kate Upton behind-the-scenes outtake of her bodypainting preparation. (I don't feel like finding out if this was for '11 or '12 shoot.)

The result.

 

I really hate pulling this one image from its source posting, (which I'll be posting shortly) but it is just too good to be left alone.
I will be embarking upon finding the author/fotog and/or context to this photo at :08 past the hour.



Huh. took me all of a minute (or two). The context. A little more reading, if you like a good backstory. No luck, really, on finding the person who snapped it.

 

Don't know anything about this image other than it is German soldiers during WW1.
1917.
Thought it fit.
