Powerful image of motherhood by photographer Balaji Maheshwar:
“She was just 4 days old when I took this. Her parents live homeless in a road side settlement in Chennai, India. I felt a strong emotion and love in the way she was gripped by her mother close to the body. It was like a Homeless mom’s message to her child - “Never Give Up”
“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” ~Agatha Christie

Classic Movie Poster REDUX: Blazing Saddles [1974]

Tweet

This week's poster is a redux of Mel Brooks' satirical western comedy "Blazing Saddles". The poster was designed by digital artist Brandon Schaefer. Director Brooks originally wanted Richard Pryor to play the sheriff (played by Cleavon Little), but Warner Bros executives expressed concern over Pryor's heavy drug use and reliability. Pryor was eventually kept on as a writer. Moreover, Gene Wilder was NOT the first choice to play the Waco Kid. He was brought in to replace a sick Gig Young(!) after the first day of filming.

See you next week...
