Ruth Orkin
Fotógrafa estadounidense nacida el 3 de septiembre de 1921.
Ruth Orkin nació el 3 de septiembre de 1921 en Boston , Massachusetts , de Mary Ruby y Samuel Orkin. Ruth creció en Hollywood debido a su madre que era actriz de cine mudo. Recibió su primera cámara, una Univex de 39 centavos y pronto comenzó a experimentar tomando fotografías de sus amigos y profesores de su escuela. A la edad de 17 años decidió viajar en bicicleta comenzando en Los Ángeles y terminando en la ciudad de Nueva York para la Feria Mundial de 1939. Completó el viaje en tres semanas tomando fotografías a lo largo del camino.
Ella asistió brevemente a Los Angeles City College por periodismo fotográfico antes de convertirse en la primera mensajera en MGM Studios, cumpliendo el deseo de convertirse en directora de fotografía pero después deja el cargo al descubrir las prácticas discriminatorias del sindicato contra la mujer.
Su fotografía más famosa es An American Girl in Italy. La modelo de la icónica fotografía fue Ninalee Craig de 23 años conocida en ese momento como Jinx Allen y fue parte de una serie originalmente titulada “No tengas miedo de viajar solo”. La imagen muestra a Craig como una mujer joven caminando con confianza junto a un grupo de hombres italianos que miran con los ojos abiertos en Florencia.
Fallece el 16 de enero 1985.

“THREE SAINTS"
by Kiptoe
Relocating from New Hampshire to Los Angeles, Matt Dean, aka Kiptoe, decided to keep going and set a goal of painting murals around the world. Starting with South America he also began crafting a series of travel episodes documenting the murals and experiences for his growing base of followers. In 2017, back home in LA and supported by @TheGraffLab, Kiptoe took on his largest wall at the time, creating “Three Saints” on Burlington Ave and Washington Blvd in the Pico Union neighborhood just west of downtown. Kiptoe describes the work as the personification of: “Protection” keeping us safe from predators and hate through birth and adolescence; “Love” helping us discover and love ourselves so we can create heart-to-heart connections; and “Guidance” developed with wisdom through maturity and enabling us to soar. @kiptoe1/

“ATOMIC BIRD”
by Kmndz
“If you’re waiting around for someone to give you permission, you’re going to be waiting a long time.” —Kmndz
As a graphic designer Rodriguez adopted the Command Z undo button for his moniker, but says it has much deeper meaning for him. In his digital life Kmndz can easily undo thousands of actions, but in his personal life actions with friends, family, and colleagues are not so easy to take back—something for us all to be mindful of. While enjoying success as a designer, working for brands like Universal and Disney, Johnny Rodriguez, aka Kmndz, says he is first and foremost an artist. In 2018 the Los Angeles artist created this version of his signature Hobs character at Allen Ave and Victory Blvd for Glendale collectible toy store @3DRetro. @kmndz_/
