I have too much respect for books, so to make a mark in a blank one seems like a violation. Then the neurosis compounds itself, because if you make a good drawing, you don’t want to screw the book up by making a bad drawing after. So I have a lot of sketchbooks that have one drawing in them - a whole shelf full.

Rare photographs of John Dillinger in a Crown Point Court (click to embiggen). The Tommy Gun Times writes:

Here’s a rare series of photos showing Johnnie getting a light, talking to his attorney (Piquett, the guy with the white hair), listening to a guy (Piquett’s assistant?) and for a moment, not looking like a guy who was about to perform a rather sensational jailbreak.

Photographs from Simon Annand’s The Half:

When ‘The Half’ is called over the loudspeaker backstage, it is the start of a 35 minute countdown to facing the audience and there is no escape.

It is rare to see actors at this point in their work.

Over 25 years SIMON ANNAND has been given unprecedented access to photograph this in-between world that the audience never sees.

On exhibit at the Idea Generation Gallery in London starting February 24; corresponding video here (worth a view).
