Bob 1944
A rock, a lake, some mountains, and Bob Steffan. Bandi perfection.
Looks like a precarious perch. He was a handsome kid, but I looked at some pics that were obviously taken later. Steffen grew more handsome as he matured, IMHO.
I wonder what film and/or process was used to achieve this look. It doesn't looks saturated enough to be Kodachrome? Possibly Agfachrome, which was more widely available during the war? It's a beautiful photo regardless.
Wunderschon komponierts Farbfoto von Bob Steffen. Werners Liebe zu ihm ist auf allen Fotos von Steffen unubersehbar. Erinnert mich an meine Zeit in Vorarlsberg und im Salzkammergut in Oesterreich. Agfa, Kodak, Adox, Ferrania, Gaevert, Orwo und Perutz fruher in Oesterreich und Schweiz verkauft. -austriche

ReplyDeleteYes, he did mature well. He was known for a time as an "escort" for wealthy older women.
DeleteUne photo magnifique !

ReplyDeleteVery good question, Randy. You are right about the saturation levels with Kodachrome, so my guess would be AGFA.
