Les Krims


[more]

  thanks to Conscientious

This takes me back to my mispent youth. I first got serious about photography in the early 70s. Les Krims was one of the photographers we talked about and his book on making chicken soup had a certain notoriety. He used his mother, in panties only, as the model. I understand that his mother was popular as a model after this. Other photographers liked to shoot her. That says something about the lemming like quality of a lot of photographers. She died last year. Sad to hear. The printer that taught me black and white printing actually made the recipe. Said it was pretty good. I have the book and keep it with my cook books. Anyway, lots of neat stuff here.
