Let’s play a fun game without looking up on your computer, phone, mobile device does anyone know who the photographer was that created this iconic Cover Photo for Sade? One of my favorite photographers and a huge inspiration to me.

Annie Lebowitz(?).

Great guess @ValentineLuke and a legendary photographer, but this cover was not created by her. It was created by a “Master of Photography” though so you are getting close!

I will give some hints after a few more people guess!

I don’t know much about photography, so that’s pretty much my only guess.

I just love taking pictures.

I think if nobody guesses who it is I will share and you will recognize some of their images as being some of the most iconic portraits of our time.

She looks young. Avedon died after the turn of the century, and had a good flair for the dramatic, so my guess is Richard Avedon.

Very good guess @pennstac and the photographer is arguably as good if not better IMO than Avedon and that is really saying something because Avedon is one of the greatest portrait artists in history, but it’s not Avedon!!

This is more of a rant fueled by being sick for the past week (struggling with asthma), and dealing with a teenager this morning (that’s struggling with frustrations from the same issues that I’ll touch on)…
…but the gist is I need to better manage expectations.

I struggle having expectations of people I deal and interact with. I’m pretty honest (I don’t ever intentionally misrepresent things) and forthcoming (to a fault at times), and I don’t make claims that I can’t/won’t fulfill. I assume that those I interact with are working upon the same principles, which I possibly shouldn’t assume, but it would go against my beliefs to not be this way.

I just want people to be honest and kind.

We’re all in this together, I believe this to my core. That’s why I’ll often refer to someone as ‘brother’, or ‘sister’. It’s not in jest, but I truly feel this…

Be loving and kind to each other. And be honest. If you wrong someone, you can always make things right. And allow others to do the same.

Any hoot, apologies for the rant.

And low O2’s a bitch. :laughing:

Haha. I’m pretty good about stating my feelings in general.

I’ll try and post more expressively (positive things, of course. ) in future write ups.
