The guy smoking the cigarette looks like someone I know- and so does the last picture! Well kinda. And the people they look like are twins- weird!!!

Chloe Cumming said...

Is that a challenge? Should we draw from them then post you our efforts?

Nice selection!

Thanx Uncle Eddie.

Wow! My photography teacher told me to look up Cunningham this weekend! Nice timing!

The third guy down looks alot like Kirk Douglas

I've never explored Cunningham's work, but I see you can find some beautiful examples here:

These other photos are probably not as useful for drawing as the ones Eddie posted.

I thought it was Spencer Tracy about 1932 or so?

That last picture sort of looks like me in real life except my hair is not that cool though...*sigh* I need more volume in my hair whatever that means?

I like them all but the last one. That guy just looks bothersome. I love the manly guy in the big pants though.

I bet you're right. I notice, surfing the web, that Cunningham was a California person. Her names sounds so veddy English I always thought of her as working in GB.

Kali: Unbelievable! It's almost too much to be a co-incidence!

Chloe: Thanks for the idea! I wish I'd thought of it! Maybe even a contest! I have enough good portraits to do a part two, so maybe I'll do it then. In the meantime if you're inspired to post a drawing I'd love to see it and so, I'm sure, would everybody else!

Wow the second guy looks exactly like Comedian Roland Smeenk. (who died too young man)

Lookie. Uncanny.
