Cary Grant's birthday, which means it must be time for the puppy in the pocket photograph again. Taken during filming for 1933's "The Eagle and the Hawk", I believe.
Cary Grant in uniform, with a tiny little puppy poking his head out of the pocket of the jacket.

'The Dance on the Shore,' from 1900 is one in a series of 22 pictures Munch painted called ‘The Frieze of Life,' of which the most famous image is 'The Scream.' The works were conceived as a part of an epic exploring the progression of modern emotional life through themes of Love, Anxiety and Death

Morning all.

Photograph by Paul Trevor, Wentworth Street, London 1978.
Morning all. Photograph by Paul Trevor, Wentworth Street, London 1978. A woman is crossing a street which has high fencing to both sides after the demolition and clearance of housing. The woman is wearing a long coat with its hood up, the hood looks like a cowl or a pixies hat. A very gothic look and feel to this photograph.

A man, photographed through the window of a metro station above. He stands at a street crossing below. Dimly lit streetlights provide some light onto the dark scene.

New York in the snow by Saul Leiter. He said of his work
“I may be old-fashioned but I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty – a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don’t think one should have to apologize for it.”

Street scene with the air filled with falling snow. Two indistinct figures are visible on the street and behind is a brick building with a large painted sign on the side of the entrance to a pawnbroker
