  7. Catch Swordfish's Alternate Poster Image An alternate shot of the poster from renowned photographer Helmut Newton. May 31, 2001 - "My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain. There is no hidden message in my photos. They are quite simple and don't need any explanation. If by chance they seem a little complex or if you need a while to understand them, it's because they are full of details." - Helmut Newton Like Annie Leibovitz and Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton has photographed his share of celebrities, only he was doing so long before Leibovitz and Ritts were in the game. And at eighty, he's still going strong. I should add that Newtons's initial noteriety didn't happen by photographing the well-known, the rich and the famous. Thirty years prior to Ritts, it was, similarly, Newton's controversial fashion photos that caused a stir. His black and white images of female models, sometimes nude, in bizzare poses were intended to be shocking. It was exhibitionism, but at highest aesthetic level; expert manipulations of light and shadows. He's a master of black and white photography. One of his recent photos is the alternate version of the Swordfish poster; featuring the cast: John Travolta as Gabriel Shear; Don Cheadle as Agent Roberts; Hugh Jackman as Stanley Jobson; and Halle Berry as Ginger. (click here to view the original poster). Thanks to Warner Brothers, we're able to have a look at an alternate version of Newton's poster photo. Here you'll notice Travolta isn't holding the gun, Jackman's arms are crossed, and Cheadle is standing away from the wall.
  8. from Yahoo News: LOS ANGELES - Acclaimed photographer Helmut Newton was killed in a car crash Friday, police said. He was 83. Newton, a fashion photographer whose work appeared in magazines such as Playboy, Elle and Vogue, was best known for his stark, black-and-white nude photos. Newton lost control of his Cadillac while leaving the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood and crashed into a wall across the street, said Officer April Harding, a police spokeswoman. Before hitting the wall, the car brushed an Associated Press photographer who was arriving at the hotel on an unrelated assignment. Newton was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he died a short time later, Harding said. Newton, who was Jewish, fled Germany for Singapore in December 1938, a month after Nazi-led pogroms. He eventually settled in Australia and became a citizen, then took up residence in Monte Carlo.

  14. Dave Douglas ". . .a pivotal figure of modern (or postmodern) music. . ." -The New York Times, reads my insert in my new Mingus cd (Tijuana) from Bluebird. It is pushing his cd called "Freak in." I rushed to my AMG music guide (paper not computer) and read a little about him and was curious. Next stop, here, to my pals on-line. Is this guy good? where do I start? Thanks. B)
