Anyone here serious into photography, particularly photojournalism?

There is a certain picture I'm trying to find that was published (maybe in Life magazine) and became rather famous. My guess is circa 1940-1960.

Anyone here into photography as a hobby and ready to help me locate it online?

Vanessa Hudgens was seen naked by millions when private photos she took of herself were leaked onto the Internet.

So it is no surprise that these days the "High School Musical" star is all about fading into a woodwork. So much so, she's even wearing wigs in public!

At least that's what she told Allure in their October issue.

"I hate the whole see-and-be-seen feeling," she says. "I just hate knowing that people are looking at me."

Indeed the nude photograph scandal haunts her to this day - even when she's working. "It's so aggravating and frustrating, and whenever anybody asks me, would I do nudity in a film, if I say that it's something I'm not comfortable with, they're like, 'Bullshit, you've already done it.'"

Actually I was looking for something a little more historical than that.

I'm shocked that people aren't jumping up and down to help...considering you have basically told them nothing. You are no salesman.

the proof is in the pudding.

But, nice strawman...nobody said confusing.

Without telling people the photo..or why it is important..or why it is important to you...you aren't giving them enough to pique their interest or wanna help you.

Hence the posts asking what the photo is. Sigh.

You don't sell the steak, you sell the sizzle.

There is another place...I will try to remember. I bought some Walker Evans stuff off the original negatives a few years ago.

:roll: The problem with doing a general appeal is that for every person willing to help the old lady cross the street are the three others ready to run her down.

But here goes....let the scrum begin.

The photo is not super famous but it was published and does make an interesting statement about relationships. I have not seen it for several years. It has to be from the 50's or 60's.

The photo is in black and white of two young men and one young woman. As I recall, they are sitting along a wall and the photo is shot from the rear. One guy has his right arm around the girl's waist and she has her left arm around him. They appear to be a regular couple.

However, at the same time and unnoticed by the first guy, the girl is also reaching behind her with her right hand and holding the left hand of another guy sitting further down on the wall as well. So the appearance is that this girl has a regular boyfriend but also has a secret boyfriend as well.

There was a photo published in Korea this week that was similar and caused a little stir. A guy was walking down the street with his arm around his girl's shoulder and at the same time she was holding the hand of another guy walking behind them. That's what made me remember the older photo.

I'd like to have a copy of this to use in presentations.

So com'on, help get Granny across the street. Avoid the temptation to flatten her in the middle of the road.

Seriously, I've tried to find it but couldn't. I'd appreciate anyone's help. Thanks.

I tried looking and that was the most interesting result I got. I swear, some people are more afraid of a penis than dying. If people just accepted that the only difference between a cock and a nose is it's function and appearance, maybe we wouldn't worry so much about shit that doesn't matter. We have an entirely manufactured sense of shame for our genitals that makes about as much sense as believing in the boogie man.

I wasn't so much offended by the genitals, I was just a little squeamish thinking about having that tattooed. The dragon's nose ring was just the kicker for me. And I'm a girl. How can it make you not wanna put on a cup just to protect the poor boy?

I see very few situations where my cock would be randomly tattooed or pierced with a bull ring, so I guess the answer to that is no. But the cold can be a bitch. God didn't make pubes powerful enough for Wisconsin. Hypothetically.
