RE:Shelby Lee Adams-was: Portraits

[frank theriault]

Hey, I was right the first time!

It was Strand.  And it was the 50's:

And, FWIW, here's the Shelby Lee Adams portrait that reminded me of it:

Both stunning and haunting, no?  And, despite the gender difference, don't 
you think there's a certain similarity?  I do.

In any event, they're both incredible photos.

cheers,

Nope, not Strand.  Wrong era, anyway.

This is going to PMO until I find it.

Plus, I still haven't got that cup of coffee.

damn, damn, damn,

Reminds me of
another portrait taken back in the 50's, by, by, by, I can't remember who 
it's by right now - Strand?  Paul Strand?  Momento, while I google it.

Plus, I need more coffee.
