This week, David Schonauer shows us images from the storms that ravaged New Hampshire, with an image by Tim Jean published in the New York Times in which we see cars knocked over by the side of the road. And at the same time, in China, they celebrated their New Year. He also shows us Mrs. Cruise, Katie Holmes, shot by Carter Smith for Elle. But according to him, Ellen Von Unwerth is one of the rare photographers that knows how to reveal the sexy side of women, as seen in the photos of Minka Kelly for american GQ. And finally, nothing compares to Lady Gaga, dressed in Alexander McQueen and shot by Mario Testino (Vogue) to end the week in absolute beauty!
