“You loved me TOO?” he repeated.

“Even that’s a lie,” said Tom savagely. “She didn’t know you were alive. Why—there’re things between Daisy and me that you’ll never know, things that neither of us can ever forget.”

Striking Self Portraits by Kyle Thompson

Thompson takes self-portraits up a notch with his surreal and stunningly eerie style. Unafraid to take risks, he creates photos that are shocking. Almost more shocking is that he’s a pizza delivery man who took up photography only about a year ago. Look through his 365 project (he’s currently at day 155) and you’ll notice how his style and technique has quickly started to evolve.

‘The Duchess born Norma-Jean Wofford, played with Bo Diddley and his band from 1962-1966. An acclaimed guitarist (with her iconic ‘Cadillac’ and ‘Jupiter Thunderbird’ Gretsch guitars), brought some style to the group amid audience requests for a female player after Peggy ‘Lady Bo’ Jones left the scene. Norma & Bo pretended to be siblings in the public eye long before Jack & Meg White covered their first blues song.’
