Blessing


Mati Klarwein, 1965

"This is a Chinese angel with African hands blessing us with a Jewish blessing that probably is an ancient symbol for the vagina or gateway to heaven."

Laurie Coppedge






Laurie Coppedge is best known for her beautiful black and white photographs of swimmers. She says, "Lately I am working with vintage wool bathing costumes from the early part of the last century. Searching out locations that are reminiscent of old Florida, I shoot using a 4x5 field camera and b/w Polaroid positive/negative film which is placed in a special bucket on location." What a lovely concept. I am in awe of her skills. The way she uses her focus and the lighting is magical. I really love the last photo shown above. To me, they look like a group of stylish mermaids basking in the sun.
