Mirror, mirror

Models and Queensborough Bridge, New York by William Klein, 1962. Not sure if this was in Vogue but he did some work there. He went to live in Paris a long time ago & is well-known in Europe but not as much here. Went on to make films. Obviously I'm not The Clever Pup; she would have this all worked out & written up beautifully. Via a scan from my 2007 Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, New York desk agenda. The text says this was printed in 1988, so it wouldn't have been in a magazine most likely. I remember liking Klein's photos; there's a lot of distortion, chaos, confusion. Maybe he drank too much coffee, too. My mother wore clothes like this...in fact, she made them quite often (or had someone else do it when she sewed our clothes).

wooh, this picture made me dizzy for a moment. You must have a great file of beautiful photos at your place. Say hi to Julie. I've got to walk Jersey in the rain again today.
