Historic Photo Expert Needed

[Kiwon]

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.'"

SkinBasket the Prescient.

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

Hoover dressed as a tranny?

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

Yeah, you're right. It's very confusing.

i mean, is it a famous photo?

you could try to explain it and maybe someone here might know it

[MJZiggy]

Well tell us about the image you're looking for so we kinda have a clue.

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.

Actually, that's not it. I will try to remember the site. It was very good. Something like Smithsonian though.
