The story behind the mechanic mutt from 'The Bionic Woman.'

David Cassidy became a teen idol through The Partridge Family, where he played singer Keith Partridge for four seasons. Away from the cameras, the actor and musician experienced a more complicated family life. He married three times and became a father to two children. According to Hollywood Life, the David Cassidy children, Katie and Beau, grew up in very different circumstances. Both explored acting, but they did not share the same relationship with their famous father. Katie was raised by her mother and stepfather, while Beau grew up with Cassidy and his third wife, Sue Shifrin.

After the couple split, Sherry and her husband, Richard Benedon, raised Katie alongside her two younger half-sisters. Katie’s relationship with Cassidy remained complicated. Before his death, he said he had not raised her and did not see himself as her father in the traditional sense, though he expressed pride in the woman she became. Katie has since honored him publicly, showing their bond still held meaning despite the distance.

Raised in his father’s home, Beau enjoyed a close relationship with Cassidy, who often spoke proudly of him. Beau later studied theater at Boston University and appeared in projects including Burt Paxton, Bigfoot’s Love Slave, and Chinese Food. Unlike his older half-sister, he has largely stayed out of the spotlight. POPSTAR, David Cassidy, 2005, (c) Warner Brothers/courtesy Everett Collection The contrast between the siblings’ relationships with Cassidy became clearer after his death. His will reportedly left his estate to Beau and excluded Katie, reflecting the different bonds he shared with each child. Both remained part of the famous Cassidy family, which includes Shaun, Patrick, and Ryan Cassidy. Katie built a successful acting career, while Beau chose a quieter life, illustrating two very different paths as the children of one of the 1970s’ biggest stars.

“And Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human. So she was turned into a pillar of salt. So it goes.” — Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Slaughterhouse-Five     In The Salt Series, German photographer Tom Hegen took aerial photographs of salt production. Photographed on a hovering DJI drone, his pictures document salt production across Europe. “What attracted me was the graphic and abstract appearance of these landscapes, which almost has a painterly quality,” he says. “This is also the core feature that aerial photography has to offer: an unfamiliar few at ordinary things that surround us,.”   Making table salt in Aigues-Mortes near Montpellier Above: The picture shows the effect of the salt industry on land at Aigues-Mortes near Montpellier in the south of France. Salt has been processed from the marshes since Roman times. To create the region’s Fleur de Sel,, seawater is channelled through 45 miles (70km) of canals. During summer a thin film of crystals forms on the surface of the salty waters. It is then hand-harvested by salt workers.     Above: The marshes of Guérande and Marennes-Oléron on the French Atlantic coast. These wetlands have been used for sea salt production for centuries. Man-made waterways, dams and pools are fed by the sea. In spring, the pools are flooded. A small but constant change in level let the water to flow into the evaporation ponds, which act as a reserve. Once the water evaporates, the seawater reaches a concentration level at which the salt crystallizes and becomes harvestable.     “I draw my inspiration from classic painters like Mark Rothko. I see all human beings as designers of our planet. And I see myself as a sort of framer, framing the artworks of the earth’s surface with my camera.” – Tom Hegen     “I am attracted by the abstraction that comes with the change of perspective; seeing something familiar from a new vantage point that you are not used to. A drone just enables you to see more.” – Tom Hegen, Salt     “Working in a series allows me to go deeper into one specific theme. Most of my work is based on a story of the relationship between human and nature. The single image is of great importance to me but working with a set of images let me show different aspects of one scenery. I am convinced that a series allows expressing the art of the photographer much better than a single image, as a series is more personalized.” – Tom Hegen     “‘Land’ is actually a word of Germanic origin and the roots of the suffix ‘-scape’, refers to the verb ‘shaping’. So landscape in a sense of landscaping refers to an activity that modifies the visible features of an area by man. As a consequence of that, I started seeing landscape photography of documenting places influenced by human rather than landscape photography as showing pure, unspoiled nature.” – Tom Hegen       Via the printspace, capture landscapes , You can buy prints on Hegen’s site.
