Outlier
No this isn't a reprise of my recent John Barrington series. A reputable online auction
house found this in a private estate collection labeled as by Jack Mitchell.
If it's his, it's a rare outlier to his usual precise editing process.
Several websites I found identify the photographer as Bruce Weber, titled simply, "Tim, Rooftop, Miami Beach FL, 1986." If I remember correctly, Weber would give only someone's first name, or sometimes no name at all, so the single name "Tim" would be consistent with that. This link shows both front and verso: https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2024/modern-contemporary-discoveries-2/tim-rooftop-miami-beach-florida
The website "invaluable.com" gives the model's full name: Timothy Schnellenberger.

That would explain why it didn't look like Jack Mitchell's work. Thanks.
