Iconic Image

There are times when it's not a swipe, and it's not an homage. It's just plain reference. Historical personalities have only so many pix of them before they shuffle off this mortal coil. And then that's all there is to work from. Some pix better than others, such as this iconic image from the great Philippe Halsman.



Roy Anderson illustration

And this was a choice that I whole-heartedly concurred with.

About Me

My photo
Thomas Haller Buchanan
My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
