Helmut Newton

Helmut Newton was born in 1920 to a wealthy button manufacturer. His father enrolled him in the American School of Berlin, but he was expelled because he chose to dream about photography, swimming, and girls instead of completing his schoolwork.
In 1936, Newton became an apprentice under the Berlin photographer Elsie Simon, a.k.a. Yva. After studying for two years with Yva, Newton moved to Singapore and accepted a position as a photojournalist for the Singapore Straits Times. He was fired two weeks later due to incompetence.
Newton then moved to Australia in 1940 and served five years in the Australian army. After he was discharged from the army, Newton opened a small photography studio in Melbourne.
In 1948, Newton married the actress June Brunell.
Newton began contributing fashion photos to French Vogue in 1961 and continued to do so for twenty-five years. During this time, he also was a regular fashion contributor to Linea Italiana, Queen, Nova, Jardin des Modes, Marie-Claire, Elle, and American, Italian and German Vogue.
Helmut Newton is best known for his fashion and nude photography.

The Cat

I still remember the first time I met he, he was only three months old. In that time, he is very smell, I can even pick up he just by one hand. And he was very afraid of me when I pick him up.

His flu is black, gray and white, you will feel soft and comfortable when you touch he. His eyes are very big and black, but if you see it under the sun, you will find it turn into brown. His nose is smell and sensitive, if somebody touch his nose, he will angry and want to bit that people. The mouth of it looks very smell, but it can open to very big, especially when he was ate.

It was a lazy cat, he has to sleep almost twenty hours a day everyday. In his awake time, he likes to playing with people or chase bugs. Now, it is three years old, and become very big and fat. I can cot even carry it, and he does not afraid of me anymore, but in my mind, he is the cutest cat in the world.
