Dernièrement Nadège me demandait si j’en avais pas marre… Marre de faire des photos de jeunes femmes, qui à ses yeux se ressemblent toutes (les photos pas les jeunes femmes).
A son grand désarroi, je dois dire que non, parce au delà des photos « bateau », des photos « clichés » et autres « gentilles cartes postales » que je peux faire de ces jeunes femmes, je suis dans l’attente… Je suis dans l’attente d’une expression, d’un regard qui me fascinera.
Sur les dizaines de photos que je fais à chaque fois, si cela tenait qu’a moi je n’en garderai qu’une petite dizaine. Mais du coup, la jeune femme ayant eu la délicatesse de poser pour ma personne en sortirait un peu frustrée. Alors pour elle, pour la remercier , je suis dans « l’obligation » de lui fournir des photos que j’espère elle appréciera.
Mylène regardait par delà la rambarde et je lui parlais alors que j’avais l’œil dans le viseur et la bouche pas loin du boitier. Du coup comme à chaque fois que je fais cela, elle n’a pas entendu ce que je baragouinais. A ce moment, elle détourne son regard sur moi et un léger coup vent se fait sentir venant jouer avec ses cheveux et j’appuie. Sur le coup, je ne regarde pas ma photo, je me dis que si j’ai pas trop fait le con elle devrait vraiment être sympa…
Et moi j’aime bien…non en fait j'adore...

At the Alfred P. Sloan Museum, Flint, Michigan. One of the first experimental cars of Buick Motors.
From Wikipedia:
"The Marr Auto Car was an automobile built in Elgin, Illinois by the Marr Auto Car Company from 1903 to 1904.
History
The car was designed by early automobile pioneer Walter L. Marr who had worked as an engine designer for Buick in 1901 and went on to be Chief Engineer there from 1904 to 1918.
The Marr was a two-seat runabout with a single-cylinder 1.7L engine that was mounted under the seat. The engine is one of the first known to have featured an overhead camshaft (OHC).[1][2] The vehicle had the first tilt steering wheel, changeable speed gears on a planetary transmission and a revolutionary new carburetor. Factory price was $600, (equivalent to $18,096 in 2021).
The plant burned to the ground in August 1904 with 14 cars inside. Only one Marr Auto Car is extant."

Upper Marr Branch Falls
Deep in West Virginia's New River Gorge National Park and Preserve lies a hidden gem, a series of cascading waterfalls that can only be reached by an adventurous explorer as it requires a treacherous scramble down a rugged hillside, made slightly easier with the assistance of a rope. The falls themselves are not easily visible from the road, and finding them requires not just a keen eye, but also a good ear, to hear the crashing waters amidst the natural cacophony of the forest. But for those who make the journey, the reward is well worth it. You will find yourself standing before a majestic 30-foot plunge and a 20-foot cascade, surrounded by the raw beauty of nature.

Marr is a village and civil parish in the City of Doncaster district in South Yorkshire, England. It has a population of 138, increasing slightly to 146 at the 2011 Census. It was in the historical county of the West Riding and is listed in the Domesday Book (Domesday Book 307d) compiled in 1086 at the command of William the Conqueror at reference 307d. During feudal times, and even beyond, the manor was the basic administrative unit of the kingdom. The lord would be granted the land by a higher magnate in return for services - and that magnate would in turn receive his land from someone higher, all the way up to the king. Some manors were owned by abbeys, which were powerful landowners.
Marr stands on the main road between Barnsley and Doncaster (A635 Barnsley Road) and also 5 minutes drive from the A1 (M) junction 37. Marr, although now mainly modern, does have a number of outstanding features; there remains an Iron Age barrow at the junction of Barnburgh, Marr and High Melton which can be seen through aerial photographs. Seventy Roman coins were found recently as evidence of the boundary line which Marr formed at Rickneild Street. The Gothic-style church of St Helens has original herringbone masonry, early Norman chancel and nave, 13th/14th century short spire tower, 15th stone-ribbed porch and font and the pulpit has fine medieval woodwork. The church also contains figures of John Lewis and wife dated from 1579 in Brass and pieces of funeral armour. There are two further buildings of note in the Marr Hall Farm. Parts of the farm buildings are original (1800s) and fairly unusual, the Hall itself retains an Elizabethan/ Jacobean west side with a semi-circular entrance porch. This building is now the farmhouse and has a Georgian style overall. The farm also maintains over 14 arched openings which would have been used for storage of carts, drays etc. The arches stand on solid stone piers and is thought to have been designed by Charles Sabine Augustus Thellusson an Italian architect who died in 1885.
The story of how Charles Thellusson (The Landed Gentry, Burke pages 598–600) gained control over the Brodsworth Estate (including the farm) is a saga in itself. The Thellusson family was involved in a long-running feud over inheritance money and Brodsworth Estates belonging originally to Peter Thellusson, a city merchant who died leaving the equivalent of £50 million in trust (see Thellusson Will Case). The money was put aside to gather interest during his own lifetime and the lifetime of his sons and grandsons (who were living at the time of his own death) only to be divided up between his remaining male descendants when the last of his three sons/grandsons died. The will and its subsequent litigation case (brought by his family) may even have inspired Charles Dickens for Bleak House (Jarndyce v Jarndyce) such was the controversy.

Beautiful Barbara La Marr (1896–1926) was an American film actress, who appeared in twenty-seven films during her career between 1920 and 1926. The "Girl Who Is Too Beautiful" was noted for her beauty and her tempestuous marital history. After some early experience in Vaudeville, she became a screenplay writer, and then a performer, appearing with Douglas Fairbanks and others in over thirty films, as well as dancing on Broadway. Her hedonistic lifestyle in Hollywood, with heavy drug dependence, led to her early death.
Barbara La Marr was born Reatha Dale Watson in Yakima, Washington, in 1896. Her parents were William and Rosana "Rose" Watson. Her father was an editor for a newspaper and her mother, a native of Corvallis, Oregon, already had one son, Henry, and a daughter, Violet, from a previous marriage. She spent her early life in the Pacific Northwest before relocating with her family to California when she was a teenager. She made her acting debut as Little Eva in a Tacoma stage production of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' in 1904. After performing in Vaudeville and working as a dancer in New York City, she moved to Los Angeles with her husband, Vaudevillian Ben Deely. She became a screenwriter for Fox Film Corporation and wrote six films for the company. She was credited as writer Barbara La Marr Deely on the films The Mother of His Children, The Rose of Nome, Flame of Youth, The Little Grey Mouse, and The Land of Jazz (all released in 1920). La Marr was finally "discovered" by Mary Pickford, who reportedly embraced her and said, "My dear, you are too beautiful to be behind a camera. Your vibrant magnetism should be shared by film audiences." She made her film debut in Harriet and the Piper (Bertram Bracken, 1920), starring Anita Stewart. Though a supporting part, the film garnered her attention from audiences. La Marr made the successful transition from writer to actress with her supporting role in The Nut (Theodore Reed, 1921). Under her new name of Barbara La Marr, she played a femme fatale opposite Douglas Fairbanks. Later the same year, she was hired by Fairbanks to play the substantial part of Milady de Winter in The Three Musketeers (Fred Niblo, 1921), starring Douglas Fairbanks as d'Artagnan.
In the following years, Barbara La Marr acted frequently in films. She became known to the public as "The Girl Who Is Too Beautiful", after Adela Rogers St. Johns, a Hearst newspaper feature writer, saw a judge sending her home during a police beat in Los Angeles because she was "too beautiful and young to be on her own in the big city." This publicity did much to promote her career. She also made two further career-boosting films with director Rex Ingram, The Prisoner of Zenda (1922), and Trifling Women (1922), both with Ramon Novarro. Then, La Marr signed with Arthur H. Sawyer to make several films for various studios, including The Hero (Louis J. Gasnier, 1923), Souls for Sale (Rupert Hughes, 1923) with Eleanor Boardman, and The Shooting of Dan McGrew (Clarence G. Badger, 1924), the first and last of which she co-wrote. During her career, she became known as the pre-eminent vamp of the 1920s. She partied and drank heavily, once remarking to the press that she only slept two hours a night. In 1924, during the filming of Thy Name Is Woman (Fred Niblo, 1924), production supervisor Irving Thalberg made regular visits to the set to ensure that La Marr's alcoholism was not interfering with the shoot. The same year, La Marr's first starring, above-the-title role came in the drama Sandra (Arthur H. Sawyer, 1924). La Marr had served as a co-writer on the film, which focused on a woman suffering from a split-personality disorder. Upon release, the film received dismally negative reviews.
Barbara La Marr's health began to falter after a series of crash diets for comeback roles further affected her lifestyle. It led to her death from pulmonary tuberculosis and nephritis. While shooting The Girl from Montmartre (Alfred E. Green, 1925) in early October 1925, La Marr collapsed on set and went into a fatal coma. She was only 29. The studio wrapped production without her with the use of a double in long shots. The Girl from Montmartre was a critical success. Barbara La Marr was posthumously honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to the film industry. La Marr officially was married four times. La Marr's first marriage in 1914, was to a Max Lawrence, who later turned out to be a former soldier of fortune named Lawrence Converse. He already was married with children when he married La Marr under a false name and was arrested for bigamy the following day. Converse died of a blood clot in his brain three days later. In 1916, La Marr married Philip Ainsworth, a noted dancer. Although the son of well-off parents, Ainsworth eventually was incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison for passing bad checks, and the couple divorced in 1917. She married for a third time to Ben Deely, also a dancer, in 1918. He was over twice her age, an alcoholic and a gambling addict, which led to the couple's separation in 1921. Before the divorce from Deely was finalised, La Marr married actor Jack Dougherty in 1923. Despite separating a year later, they remained legally married until her death. Some years after La Marr's death, she was revealed to have given birth to a son, Marvin Carville La Marr, in 1922. The name of the boy's father has never been released. During her final illness, La Marr entrusted the care of her son to her close friend, actress ZaSu Pitts, and Pitts' husband, film executive Tom Gallery. After La Marr's death, the child was legally adopted by Pitts and Gallery and was renamed Don Gallery. Don Gallery died in 2014.
