It was 1978 when photographer Peter Berlin posed for Don Herron. I have to be honest and say
that I find photos of Peter Berlin taken by others to be far superior to his multitude of self
portraits. Search as I might, I haven't been able to find any photos this guy took of anyone
but himself. Narcissism, anyone? Having said all that, I may give him a day here.
I post material that I don't personally like on a regular, if infrequent, basis.
Narcissism, no doubt, but his portraits also might be a Freudian reaction formation response conveying the message "F---k You, this is who I am. He did turn heads.
ReplyDeleteI think I read somewhere that he started out as a model and decided he could make more money photographing himself.
DeleteWie Sie Amerikaner sagt , “overrated”.
ReplyDeleteMany share that opinion.
Deletehe did take some nudes with a one time young boyfriend so was always called 'troubled'.
ReplyDeleteSounds about right.
