sometimes your friday needs a little mamika...

i have recently fallen in love with the work of sacha goldberger, a french photographer.  one of his latest series, "super mamika," stars the photographer's 91 yr. old hungarian grandmother.  while the beautifully-executed compositions, steely color quality, keen awareness of detail, and absolute humor of these shots would make them perfect in and of themselves, the catalyst of this series is the true kicker: mamika is a real life hero - she and her family saved lives during WWII. 

here are some of my favorite shots from the collection:
