Frequently asked me to describe his ideal of femininity. That's impossible. Only when I see a woman, I know if it is perfect or not. It's like discovering a new, unknown territory. In addition, my ideal varies from time to time. Helmut Newton is one of the most interesting and most controversial artists, whose work has been permanently etched in the canon of twentieth-century photography. Adored by one provocateur, while the others (in particular, by feminists) actually hated. Often called an exploiter of women , and finally King of perversion and the Prince of Porn, when in 1976 he published his first, already scandalous same name, a book White Women (White women).
His biography could be divided among several people or used as a plot of the screenplay for the film. Helmut Neustadter, because it sounded so original his name, was born in Berlin in 1920 to a wealthy and privileged Jewish family with a thriving factory buckles and buttons as he bought his first camera Zeiss Box Tengor. Four years later, leaving the school with his mother found himself on the practice in Berlin's renowned photographer Elsa Simon, widely known as Yva, specializing in fashion, portraying ballerinas, actors and actresses and the preparation of catalogs underwear. However, in 1938 as a result of the pogrom of the Jews and the events of Kristallnacht eighteen Helmut gets on a ship sailing to China. Eventually he comes to Singapore, where the job is the greatest photographer in Singapore Straits Times newspaper, which is expelled after two weeks, and sometimes is old woman. Besides, never concealed the fact that one of his passions in life are just women, of course, found its expression in his art. Then two years went to an internment camp in Australia, then joined the army where he served for five years as a private. After his release from the army, Helmut Neustadter changed his name to Newton, opened his first studio in Melbourne, and married to actress June Brown, which then settle in Europe. He cooperated the writings of Marie-Claire, Elle, Queen, Vanity Fair, Playboy, Stern, Live and finally the British, French, American and German edition of Vogue his most famous top models: Claudia Schiffer, Carla Bruni, and Naomi Campbell, as well as politicians and people of culture and art, including Jacques Chirac, Helmut Kohl, Margaret Thatcher and Luciano Pavarotti. He was killed in a car accident in his beloved Hollywood in 2004, most of Newton's writings are in black and white photographs, the main heroine is usually a very attractive woman Plover White-skinned, with perfectly arranged haircut, but never as the end is not naked. Often the only clothes are expensive earrings, pearl necklaces, shoes high heels, leather, or painted lingerie, corsets, fur or and orthopedic accessories. Presented at the exhibition photography Charlotte Rampling as Venus in a fur coat is a reflection of those obsessions of the artist. Venus in fur is also the title of the novel by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch in 1869, describing the relationship between man and woman, in this case, the lady of the house and her servant, where the owner of a rich fur fetish playing role in this story. What particularly distinguishes the women of Newton, is their strength and confidence. Sometimes even bring to mind the monumental sculpture. The elegant hotel lobby, full of sumptuous interiors filled with antique furniture, luxury swimming pools, impressive terraces, a famous place in the world, such as Venice, Rome, Cannes, New York. This world was never a stranger to him. The mere fact during the summer with his wife June, he was resident in an elegant apartment overlooking the sea in Monte Carlo, and spent winters in Hollywood. Wherever he was often visited at parties organized by local social creme. He participated in numerous fashion shows, festivals and many other prestigious events. He was friends with the great of this world, which indeed he was a part and never hid. He loved luxury, but applied his work is also an element of surprise, as in the series Domestic Nudes (Domestic Acts) Act 1992, where the models appear in a rather prosaic surroundings, or in the kitchen, the garage and the backyard. Newton liked to localize their models, moreover, in a rather absurd situation. This happens for example in the work of a woman undressing in a hotel in Venice. Here we see the hotel's lobby, where in comfortable chairs and sofa elegantly dressed group of people - two women and a man closely watching them, standing at a woman undressing. At the exhibition you can also see photographs of one of the most famous series, a Big Nudes, which arose in the years 1980-93. The inspiration for them were German police identification photographs of terrorists, members of the Baader-Meinhof. Moreover, this project originally was to bear the name of terrorist. A distinguishing feature of these photographs of Newton's other work is that the model is not posing here on the background of sophisticated interiors and landscapes in a studio on a neutral background. Newton's photographs often resemble movie stills. Looking at his work wonder, what event would precede the moment of execution of the photographs and what happened afterwards.

Computer interfaces on the movies
Each of us knows it by heart. car supermarket DMC Poland previews.famous-car.co.uk The main character goes to the computer. Palm-sized icons so that you can not make mistakes. At this point rings out loud "you've got mail!" And on the screen (immediately), there is mail. Times New Roman, 200 pixels. To make things easier to read, of course. Mail, of course, is proof of her husband's betrayal, but do not I write about this.
I would like to write about computer interfaces in the car supermarket Otimizaçao de sites no Google reviews.marvelous-car.co.uk world of reality film. The same in which everyone falls from blows to the back of the head, which is always good handcuffs removed, and the outbreak of the hero turns up in your face. But with computers, the computers had to write:) I know that everything has a reason, that if the computers look like in reality, all this would be illegible, or boring, but ... you can laugh after all! So I set off brain cells, it complemented the results www.touring-car.co.uk used cars reviews.great-auto.co.uk of the search in necie and voilla!
As I have already written, the majority of computer users use huge fonts. In the TV series characters are still colorful. Regardless of whether a text editor or a program to handle mail. Font must be huge! After all, so easier to read!
A hacker must have a black background. It's clear. Otherwise there would be a hacker. We also know that a font must be green. As in Matrixie. Actually, there is no other possibility. Well I like white background terminal? Necessarily. Does anyone else see a login? Password course, never is a random string of characters and just a little effort to make them guess. First two (red!) ACCESS DENIED subtitles (and audio bzzzz), the third time ACCESS GRANTED. Green, of course. And the sound (ping!). Alternatively, the female voice interface. Nice! We're in! Any self-respecting company, whether in the near future or even now, must have a 3D visualization. Well how can I without them? Best show the grid mesh (after every show faces, since wireframe view is that cyber-wonderful?) Mandatory green. Well, we reported earlier that it is the color of hackers! In addition to the visualization of 3D interfaces appear (Minority Report). In total, good concept. But why is Tom Cruise in the film looks like Shwarzenneger? 8 hours waving hands, it must be something!
