Apes in Paris

Damn where is Taschen when you need them ? Collette in Paris just opened a fantastic exhibition of photographs by Magnum photographer Dennis Stock taken in 1967 during the filming of Planet Of The Apes. The photos are striking because they feature actors from the film in natural California settings creating startling and iconic juxtapositions that will captivate any Apes fan. The show is accompanied by a special series of 12 limited portfolios of the pictures released to coincide with the 60th anniversary of Magnum Photos & the 40th anniversary of Planet of the Apes. No idea how much the portfolio costs or if you could even still buy one. Wish Taschen would pick this one up and do one of their giant books with the series though - sure it would do well for them.









The final scene in the first Planet Of the Apes movie has to be one of the best Sci-Fi movie moments ever made.
