Jumbo


I had this photo of a man, an elephant, and a beach for over a decade,
but didn't know until recently that it was by Bruce Weber.

    1. Thanks! I need to inform a certain high end photo resale site about that. They will not be pleased.

  2. Bruce Weber's style, his locations and his choice of models and the fact that he shoots in black-and-white, are all very redolent of Danny Fitzgerald's offerings of his "Demi-Dieux" of a previous generation. I can just see them all, dancing in their Lacoste polo shirts, on the beach at Fire Island.

    1. I thought for a moment there that you had put Danny Fitzgerald and Lacoste polo shirts in the same sentence, but thank goodness you didn't.
