I'm sure the tie helps, but I bet the ladies really like him for his hunting skills and mating possibilities.

Over a thousand Chicagoans from all over the city, gathered at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by David Lang.
the ads are awesome and in some ways more interesting than the 16 pages of color space walk photos from the gemini 4 mission.
Lt. Cesar Basa (1915-1941) was one of the pioneering pilots of the Philippine Army Air Corp (PAAC), the precursor to the Philippine Air Force. As part of the five Filipino fighter pilots of Curtiss P-26A planes led by Capt. Jesus Villamor, he engaged the Imperial Japanese Air Force. He died during the Japanese strafing of Nichols Field, as Basa who had just landed his plane, was running for cover.

Here's Norm and Tom McMullen (Later to be head of McMullen & Yee Publishing) sitting in Norm's T roadster at a Bob's Big Boy drive-in. This full-page pic' is on page 137 of Life Magazine, April 29, 1957.
The caption below it says;
" A DREAM BOAT for hot-rodders is a chromed roadster like this one belonging to Norm Grabowsky of Sunland, Calif. The car, a Ford with a Cadillac engine, took him $8,000 and five years to build.He and many hot-rodders spend a lot of time at drive-ins where they can satisfy their hunger and show off their creations".
I've met Norm at the NSRA Nats South at Winston-Salem in '79 and later in this century at the Nats South in Knoxville, Tn. Always fun to talk to.

A couple shots from the trash-the-dress photoshoot that Scott L Miller and I had with Megan LeAnn on 9/9/23. Great fun! Makeup by the very talented Aubz Photography & Makeup www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100035570032055.

I have more of these mannequins to show soon. As you can see, it recreates the famous LIFE Magazine cover photo, taken in Times Square, of a sailor kissing a nurse to celebrate the official end of WWII. Once I got scenes like this out of the way, I boarded the ship. Those photos to come soon.

This segment of Suzanne Scheurer's mural entitled "Newsgathering" was included as part of the Coit Tower Public Works Art Project (PWAP) in 1933. It illustrates the process of news production from ad purchases (seen in this photograph) to street sales. Scheurer was assisted in drawing this mural by Hebe Daum (1912-1993) who had immigrated from Holland to the US in 1923. She settled in San Francisco, and later married Peter Stackpole (1937), son of Ralph Stackpole and one of the original staff photographers for Life magazine.
Suzanne Scheuer was born in San Jose, California on February 11, 1898. She moved to San Francisco in 1918 and studied at the California School of Fine Arts and the California College of Arts and Crafts. She then taught for three years in the public schools of Los Banos and Salinas. In 1940 she joined the art faculty at the College of the Pacific in Stockton and taught there for ten years. She then moved to Santa Cruz, California where she designed and built six houses, doing much of the physical and artistic work herself while continuing to paint and sculpt. Scheuer died in Santa Cruz on December 20, 1984.

From Life Magazine, April 27, 1959
Every year on the anniversary marking the end of World War II, the Times Square Alliance invites couples (though strangers would be more appropriate) to come make out in the same spot this nameless couple did just 62 years ago.
"Couples of all ages and from all walks of life were invited to meet in front of the sculpture “Unconditional Surrender”, which was created by acclaimed artist Seward Johnson, memorializing a famous photo snapped by Lieutenant Victor Jorgenson and evoking the iconic LIFE magazine cover photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt.", reported the Alliance website.
Kissers were handed out a sailor cap, roses and... breath mints!
For more, much better pictures, visit the Times Square Alliance website.
For clues that reveal who might have been the passionate nurse and sailor of the picture, read Sewell Chan's article "When a Kiss Isn’t Just a Kiss" in The New New York Times.
Forgive me ... I couldn't resist!
Representing hope and freedom, a 25 foot, 6,000 pound statue named, UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, by world-renowned artist, J. Seward Johnson, is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor, Carl Muscarello, kissing a nurse, Edith Shain, in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day.
Edith Shain, the nurse memorialized in Eisenstaedt’s photo, states, "There is so much romance in the statue; it gives such a feeling of hope to all who look at it."
“This statue brings back so many memories of peace, love and happiness. During the moment of the kiss I don’t remember much, it happened so fast and it happened at the perfect time. I didn’t even look at the Sailor who was kissing me,” Shain continued. “I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment like any woman would have done.”
For the next year, the sculpture will stand next to the USS Midway Museum on the San Diego Bay. It was previously displayed in New York City in 2005 and Sarasota, Florida in 2006.
Ramon Magsaysay was appointed Secretary of National Defense by President Elpidio Quirino, on August 31, 1950.

These are my favorites.
Here is a White Mountain Apache cowboy, Morning Glory, looking like a prize fighter who had ended up too often on the canvas . This is another from my White River, Labor Day rodeo series. I met Ernst Haas (1921-1986) in 1968 at the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Rodeo. He reminded me of a surgeon asking for different instruments while performing an operation. Haas politely asked his assistant for a camera with a particular lens from an assortment of cameras containing either black and white or color film. An image he took, while standing next to me, made the July 2nd, 1971 front cover of Life magazine. It ceased being a weekly in December of the following year. Look magazine, which had been launched in 1937 only months after Life, had folded in 1971. Both were victims of rising postal rates and the loss of advertising revenue due to TV.
Look's photo collection of six million items was donated to the Library of Congress. From 1946 to 1951 Stanley Kubrick has been a Look photographer. Of his more than 300 assignments, 100 are in the Library of Congress.
