Supermodel Photographer

☑ FROM MY MEMOIRS:  Marilyn Monroe and I had the same bedroom, but not simultaneously.  I shared it with a feminist girlfriend who later got a master's degree and went on to become a famous prostitute.  Also, I have dated 1) the woman in whose home Vladimir Nabokov had written Lolita when she was a girl, 2) Girl, Interrupted Susanna Kaysen (who is not photogenic although in person she looks better than Winona Ryder, who played her in the movie)*, 3) models including a former Jethro Tull backup singer who does runway work for L'Oréal, and 4) a photographer who previously dated a friend of Mick Jagger and was Sigourney Weaver's roommate in boarding school.

* Kaysen has also written the book The Camera My Mother Gave Me.

☑ FROM MY CRITICS:  Thomas Frick, who has written about the Arts for a variety of institutions from Art in America magazine to LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art), has stated "Unlike most work in this genre, the best of Supermodel Photographer's photographs exude a subtle but insistent atmosphere of human mystery and vulnerability. The punctum (the wounding, personally touching detail, as defined in Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida) is no longer visible.  His penetrating vision locates it within the subject or outside the frame."  As though that were not enough, Rush Rankin of KCAI (Kansas City Art Institute) has declared "The most erotic of Supermodel Photographer's pictures constitute literally the force of orgasm."
