If I Had 3 Wishes

The first wish would be to go to New York and see the retrospective of Tim Burton's work at the Museum of Modern Art.

It runs from Nov 22, 2009 to April 26, 2010. Check out the MOMA website for more info.

My second wish would be to go get this month's Harper's Bazaar magazine which has a spread photographed by Tim Walker celebrating Tim's darkly delightful style.

The third wish would be to have a copy of Tim Walkers book.

I love his visionary approach to fashion photography.

Does he make the props? Could you imagine getting that commission? Umm, you want a 10 ft white glove?

Did he cut out the silhouettes? Does he dream these images first?

I would love to help create those kinds of sets. Plaster everything , I say!!!

If only I had 3 wishes.

if only.

happy weekend!

happy Tim x 2 celebration!
