What fantastic shots! What a life it must have been to meet & photograph such a range of people! Love the Kennedy photo…and the Marilyn (oh to be able to pull off wearing a dress like that!). The Dali photo is bizarre, but captures him perfectly as does the Einstein shot. Then there’s Audrey. Even in a “normal” setting she’s beautiful.
