The above 2 images have always been favorites of mine. The first of Picasso by Robert Doisneau was shot in a cafe in France in 1952 and has become a classic. The second by Chris Buck was published on the cover of PDN in 2006 (along with many other places, I'm sure) and I believe was photographed as an homage to the Doisneau picture in light of Steve Martin's play…
I came across this amusing (and super-respectful) blog post about my Picasso/ Doisneau homage with Steve Martin by Scott McDermott. Thanks Scott!
Very cool! Thanks again, Chris.
