Masks. Nicolas Cage and Lana del Rey via Oscar Wilde

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Oscar Wilde

Nicolas Cage (Nicholas Coppola)
“I am still legally Nicholas Coppola but I am Nicolas Cage. I had to reinvent myself. ...

As soon as I went into the casting office under a new name and they didn’t know that there was a connection, I got the part. I felt liberated. It gave me the freedom to become what I wanted to be in my dreams.”

Lana del Rey (Elizabeth Grant)
"I think the reason why I started making music and you know [under] the name Lana Del Rey was really just so I always had a vehicle to actually be exactly who I was … like it was actually a way for me [to feel] free enough to be myself and that was my way of choosing to do that.

London street photography, July/August 2014. Part 2

Once again, looking to add to my "London: The Tourist Guide" series, I paid several visits to the capital in July/August this year.

As the title implies, the series linked to above is intended as my representation of the tourist's eye view of London, focusing on tourist spots, tourists themselves or ironically illustrating some cliched aspect of London life (think "This is London" by Miroslav Sasek).
