Black and White Window

This is my entry to the Three Muses Challenge: Black and White.

It's a triple homage: to the fashion icon Grace Kelly, to the talented costume designer Edith Head - represented by the lovely dress the American princess wears - and to Rear Window, one of the greatest movies of the Great Hitch.

And for those who thinks I forgot him, a quote by Jimmy Stewart: "I'm the inarticulate man who tries. I don't really have all the answers, but for some reason, somehow, I make it."

Grace Kelly and James Stewart photos are from doctormacro, background by Ivette-Stock (Deviant Art) and frame by Sarah Meyer.

  1. This is fabulous, Christine! The monochrome works really well, and the colour you have given James Stewart makes him look really creepy!
