LOOKALIKES two


This early shot of Spike Jones could be clumped together with the previous post... Darken the hair and he's a ringer for a young Ruscha... Hey, I'm just saying... SS

LOOKALIKES




While checking out the library of stashed photos, I was hit with the similarity of a young Ruscha and the young Deniro... I think the Ruscha shot is 60's with the Deniro shot early 70's... Could almost be the same guy... Anyway, just a simple observation from a guy that must have way too much time on his hands... SS

This guy deserves a shout for service and talent and maintaining integrity for many years... I kinda didn't want to post the early photo at the top for some reason, I want our earnest types to stand on their current merits, but dude was so spot on from my world as that character it just floated up there... Also, homeboy got the cutest Madonna years for sure... SS

GREAT JOB



A big shout to Hiroki for a great job of product design... Not really my cup of tea, but a wonderful take on a classic design brought into the modern world without loosing what is important... SS

A MOMENT


Another amazing shot of a truly rock and roll couple... This is such a moment frozen in time from my coming of age... Remember, though it might seem a bit suspect from todays standpoint, early glam rock was the road to punk... Without Iggy, Bowie, the Dolls, MC5 and the rest, there would be no Ramones, which in turn set up the scene for punk to come around the bend... This era was cool because it was still only a certain type that got it, most called fag on it while listening to CSNY and the Eagles... It was a commitment to be the first to bond to this world...

BB


Wow, the south of France never looked so good... This gal was the blueprint for so many young, blonde and fresh starlets to follow... Maybe even the origin of the cameltoe phrase for all I know... SS

STECYK


Having dinner last night with TA, CR and Pricco, we started talking about favorite photos and stuff... So Adler pulls out this beauty and declares it one of his favorite Stecyk photos... I had never seen this flavor from CR before, and I gotta say, Tom is right on... SS

One more cluster of the fabulous Miss Gainsbourg... Spot on style and flavor, kinda channeling Patti Smith in a really cool way... I am feeling it and a huge fan... SS
