Gus Van Sant's Polaroids

 Gus Van Sant released this book in 1992, a series of portraits of actors, artists and musicians he had taken with his Polaroid camera, and considering the decade and the models, the result is pretty much iconic, and it only gets grander with time.

From River Phoenix, to Patricia Arquette, Nicole Kidman or rising stars at the beginning of their careers like a young Keanu Reeves, Renée Zellweger, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Steve Buscemi, to Patricia Clarkson, Stephen Baldwin, Drew Barrymore and Matt Dillon, including the cast of 'Twin Peaks' during early days of the filming. Every photo looks amazing and owning this book must be something great, because there are a lot more of Polaroids inside. Enjoy the few that i have found and already named, after the cut!

Stereotyping you by your favorite director

By now you know i love the "Stereotyping" kind of posts, i've already posted the Stereotyping you by your fave 90s band and Diagnosing your romantic issues based on your fave literary couple, so now it's time to stereotype you by your favorite director.
