Why? She's not even looking where she's going. That Jasbeschermer won't help her when she rear-ends that Hupmobile.Yikes! Ms.1917 needs a Jasbeschermer to prevent some serious road rash
That is certainly a sharp looking homburg he's wearing.From today's Guardian,
Ted Croner, Sharpie in a Cafeteria, 1946
Croner was born in Baltimore but grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. During the second world war he worked as an aerial photographer with the US Army Air Corps. In 1946, he enrolled in Alexey Brodovitch’s photography class at the New School for Social Research. Towards the end of the 1940s, his work was successfully exhibited at MoMA in New York. Alongside commercial assignments for Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, he pursued his own photography, producing experimental, cinematic images of cafeterias, solitary diners and the city after dark.
