Day 170, Year 5 - My Magnum Marilyn

This is my very own, Magnum Estate print of Marilyn Monroe taken by Eve Arnold in 1960. The company were selling prints for a limited edition price so I decided to buy one. Of all the many prints by some great photographers this is the one that stood out.

She was and still is an icon, and a very beautiful woman. And the session that this came from has always been a favourite.

It was a treat to open the package sent direct from Magnum in New York to find the 6x6 inch print inside. Now I just have to find a worthy frame and put it somewhere where sunlight won't harm it.

3 good things:

1 - Lovely weather in London
2 - A good investment in wet weather gear for work
3 - A lovely evening at home with my 3 housemates
Classic. A cool shot and buy!

I was so tempted, kind of kicking myself for not buying one now. I had my eye on a b&w, can't remember which. Maybe next year if they do it again!
