Feel-good story:

That precious face.
Ken Benbow, a 94-year-old World War II veteran living in a care home in Preston, England, takes a photo of his late wife Ada to bed with him every night. Ken and Ada were married for 71 years before she passed away last August. One of his care workers, Kia Mariah Tobin, noticed his tender ritual and gifted Benbow a pillow — with Ada's lovely face on it. Love in many directions.

Photographer Spent Days Waiting For Museum Visitors To Match The Artworks They Observe, And it Was Worth It

 France-based photographer Stefan Draschan,  camping in galleries for days, waiting for visitors who perfectly match the artworks they observe.


































His photo series is called “People matching artworks,” and seeing it at first you might get an impression that it’s all staged. But the artist reassures that these perfect shots are actually achieved using patience. I picked 24 of his original 50 but you can see all here.




Smiles for Monday ...
