Marilyn Monroe

I needed something to write a post about and I just couldn't get past the images of Marilyn Monroe. She seemed to know that, in order to achieve a compelling photograph, you need to be able to dramatize aspects of facial expressions, like a caricature. The minuteness of a regular expression doesn't translate to photographs, there isn't enough distance between many. Perhaps this is why there doesn't seem to be a bad photo of her in existence. Unlike models of today, who clearly have no idea of their faces or the performative aspect. She new that the camera can not distinguish when someone is faking it. There isn't a present day model that can stand next to her.        I hear Angelina Jolie may be playing her haha, I really hope not.
