i won't waste the breath adding my recommendation to see Capote (2005) now that Philip Seymour Hoffman has his oscar - gorgeous stuff, though. Capote's relationshop with killer Perry Smith had been the stuff of literary legend for years, as were the iconic studio photographs (depicted briefly in the film) snapped of Perry and Truman by LIFE Magazine photog Richard Avedon in 1965. imagine my surprise when i recently stumbled across a copy of that original contact sheet. medium format, sweet.

CANDY! :: CONTACT SHEET - PERRY SMITH, TRUMAN CAPOTE, 1965
