Marilyn and Magnum
25 Apr
I never got the Marilyn obsession bug that so many seem to have. Of course I am curious, fascinated by her transformation, life story, early passing. She was obviously beautiful but what interests me more when I look at photos of her are the off moments, the ones where you can see a little Norma. In celebration of their new book Marilyn by Magnum, I went through their online collection (again, sorry for the watermarks) and couldn’t stop.. I guess that bug is easy to catch.
