Roy DeCarava. Self-Portrait. 1956

Roy DeCarava (December 9, 1919 – October 27, 2009) was born in Harlem, the son of a single Jamaican mother. He went to art school, studying painting, but gravitated toward photography. His focus was upon chronicling the lives of ordinary people, revealing their beauty and humanity. He also had a great passion for jazz and spent many years photographing musicians such as Thelonious Monk, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Count Basie.

DeCarava enjoyed a long, productive career. He also taught and influenced many young photographers.

“It doesn’t have to be pretty to be true,” DeCarava said in a 2001 interview with the contemporary artist Dread Scott. “But if it’s true it’s beautiful. Truth is beautiful. And so my whole work is about what amounts to a reverence for life itself.”

Lauren Bacall, with her husband, Humphrey Bogart relaxes near their pool. In the late afternoon, after a day's work on Warner Brothers' Key Largo, The Look likes to change into a comfortable, cool and slightly formal patio dress. The one she wears now is a two-piece, ankle-length, rayon shantung with a brown and black Oriental print. The snug bra top buttons in the front and has a large cocealing collar. Blair dress, Joseff jewelry. Photos by John Engstead, 1947

In 2017, a couple in California survived a wildfire by jumping into a neighbor's pool and staying submerged for six hours. They surfaced only for air and used wet T-shirts to shield their faces from falling embers.

I found old redraws of frames from the cartoon Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 1986. These are some of my favorite screenshots of the cartoon, so I decided to redraw them. Unfortunately, I did not have time to finish them in color.

And what are your favorite shots from this cartoon?

Prompt 23 - Diving

@wolfstarmicrofic August 23, word count 435

“Come on Padfoot, stop being such a scaredy-cat!” Remus yelled from the pool below, slowly treading water. “Even Peter’s jumped from there!” Remus shouted again.

“Hey!” Peter splashed Remus. “What do you mean even Peter has? So rude!”

Sirius’s knees were knocking together at the top of the diving board. He’d had no idea he was afraid of heights before he climbed to the top of the ladder and stepped up to the edge of the bouncing board. He swallowed nervously and looked down again. He squeaked and took a clumsy step back. 

“Come on Padfoot!” They all called up to him. He watched as James hauled himself out of the pool and headed towards the ladder. Fuck. James was so just going to push him off. 

“Hey, Padfoot, if you jump I’ll snog ya!” Remus called, cupping his mouth with his hands to make sure Sirius heard him. 

Suddenly his fear was gone as he stared in disbelief at Remus bobbing below. He’d been trying for months, years, to get Remus to kiss him, and now he was just offering! He blinked, strode forward and jumped off the end. He heard an oof as his feet left the solid board and leapt into the air. He turned his head and James was falling with him. His body was flat in the air, not like the elegant bough Sirius’s body was stretched into. 

“Serves you right!” Sirius yelled a split second before they hit the water. He barely made a splash but James’s belly flop was so loud it echoed off the walls. Sirius could hear it under the water. 

He kicked out with his legs and pulled himself forward with his arms under the water, popping up directly in front of Remus. “You owe me a kiss,” He smirked. 

“Yes I do,” Remus murmured back, wrapping an arm around Sirius’s back and dragging him closer before pressing his chlorine-laced lips to Sirius’s. Sirius’s knees went weak, and he slipped from Remus’s arms under the surface of the water. He spluttered as he broke through the surface, trying to right himself. 

“No, that doesn’t count. I want a do-over. No!” He couldn’t believe he’d done that. After all this time and he'd swooned, what an idiot! 

“Hush, I’ll kiss you anytime you want,” Remus huffed out a laugh, dragging Sirius close again. Sirius relaxed. A grin that could eclipse the sun spread across his face. “You’re still a scaredy-cat though,” Remus snickered, kissing the top of his wet hair. Your scaredy-cat, Sirius’s brain supplied, and he hoped that one day soon it would be true.

It deeply amuses me how John was so hands off he managed to create a situation where post-pool-scene *maybe one* of his Necros would have killed their Cavs if asked for the sake of the empire, and it *wasn't even Silas*. Like you create an entire house of intensely religious nuts and the most principled stance we ever see one take is "this is either not what God wants or God is *evil*". Judith seems like she would, but I think AYU (AYUS? AUS?) proves otherwise. Ianthe very clearly failed. Isaac... Isaac I actually feel might have. The fourth were pretty screwed up. Abigail, hell no. Pal, demonstrably not. OG Dulcinea, probably made peace with her death and wouldn't kill a man to live. And Harrow, even before the pool scene, clearly had some conflicted feelings. *At most* he could have gotten two proper Lictors out of the experiment, for the 4th and 9th, and then he'd have to kill all the other house heirs to cover it up, and then cover *that* up, because you *know* Abigail and Pal and Silas would just immediately spill the beans upon getting home.

Soap, to Gaz: - And I’ve been dropping the most obvious hints that I like him but he still- Oh hey, Ghost!

Ghost: What are you talking about?

Soap: Oh I like my lieutenant but he doesn’t understand that I do even though I drop the most obvious hints without a bit of subtlety

Ghost: He sounds like an idiot

Soap: … He’s an absolute idiot

Gaz: Oh my god
