Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

"Iconic Photography" - Nirvana meets RuPaul

Photos and photography are a part of how we keep memories and important moments in our life. With pictures we keep things from our past and preserve what we love. History in progress often is documented with photographs, some of these photographs have gone around the world and reached an iconic status of themselves. But some photos capture more then what meets the eye.

Such images might not be that iconic, and sometimes do not even go around the world. But things are that these images are very well able to transmit things on a whole other level. They create feelings and provide us with the certain feeling of the moment the image was captured. Since everyone of us has a digital camera, a smart phone or a tablet and takes photographs all the time, shares them in digital networks and makes them available for everyone, images with the certain qualities I described become more and more valuable. One of these images is from the 90's. Featured on this image are, the supermodel of the world and probably most famous drag queen of the world, RuPaul Charles and iconic, tragically died Nirvana member, Kurt Cobain. Also on the picture are the other members of Nirvana.

Of course I did not take the photographs. But the rights belong to whoever took these.
