Fevery haze continues, so I’m just going to number the images and newses that caught my eye recently. There are four of these things, but some spin off a little. You’ll forgive me, I know.

1.

Keith Bedford shoots Eliot Spitzer for The New York Times. Masterfully done, I think, for a piece about Spitzer trying to find his way as a man in the crowd, no longer as a lauded Governor. Plus, it reminds me of P.L. diCorcia’s heads. And Chuck’s cover.
I love the lady with her ipod.

2.

Paul Newman. Cool Hand Luke film still. Manohla. Check out the slide show.

3.

Polidori! Versailles! Here comes the book, folks. Pre-order away. I have to admit I have a weakness for that Dunst depiction, but these images take the cake.

Did you see them at Houk in April?

This one’s better without the cover print.

I guess plastic on couches/beds spans the centuries.

Reminds me of my Grandma’s house.

Ahem.

4.

Our fourth and final ooh ahh is the magic that is Weeki Wachee. Yet another amazing time-enduring picture haven.

I am convinced this is one of the best places to take pictures, ever. The image above is Rebecca Schrock‘s. I found it on Flak Photo. Caption: Former Mermaids at Weeki Wachee Springs, Weeki Wachee, Florida, 2006.

This place keeps on giving.

You’ll recall my favorite image of all time is Toni Frissell’s Weeki depiction from 1947:

And yes, Weeki Wachee has a Mermaid Camp. But it’s full-up for the year.

Thanks for playing Rachel’s-train-of-thought. I hope to be coherent for ya soon.
