A Cool Conversation

Beat the Heat! The Dallas Mavericks accomplished this already, now the rest of Texas has to struggle through the remaining summer months of July, August, and September. We’ve had record-breaking, day after day, 100 degree heat…and wind. It feels exactly like opening up your heated oven and allowing all the hot air to free itself.

To help us all cool off for a minute—how about some Slim Aarons photography.

Slim Aarons, 1916–2006, is a notable American photographer who followed the rich and famous around snapping photographs of their leisurely lives. Aarons photographed and befriended many of the most famous faces of the late 20^th century including Howard Hughes, the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and Kennedys.

I personally like the photographs that are of large crowds or unknown faces, the best.

All photos can be viewed or purchased, here.

If you want more, Amazon sells all four of Slim’s coffee-table books.
