helmut newton

This Helmut Newton photo used to hang over Piffin's changing table. It helped me come to terms with motherhood, and it gave Piffin something colourful to grab at. That's how it got the distressed look. I thought of it because of yesterday's Coney Island picture. I did a Google search on Coney Island and found this great picture of Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith. (Helmut Newton and Robert Mapplethorpe somehow sit close together in my brain, this blog entry is a mess.) And guess what, lately Piffin is constantly playing my Patti Smith CD, it vanished from the kitchen I just noticed, she must have taken it to her room. Children!! They make all the good stuff disappear, I bought FIVE erasers yesterday because of that, grrrrrr.

Wow, millions of Patti pictures.
