Oh, the on-going fight continues between models and celebrities. Will they ever be at peace?
Oh dear. He puts all other cockrockers to shame. The combination of mentioning his travel itinerary with all the celebrities names called out I think warrants a spot in the CCHF. Cockrocking Hall of Fame. The degree of difficulty was quite high. To say even half of that with a straight face shows a level of self denial not seen since we lost Avedon.
I have to admit I thought the entire thing was pretty funny. Sometimes I think the fashion world is literally another world ..but I live in Central Jersey ..what the hell do I know about high fashion.
To Andrew and any other photographers who may read this: Do you tend to give less creative credit to photographers like Testino and Leibovitz who have teams of assistants, budget, locales everything to create the image they want vs. a photographer who doesn't have such resources?
