The Alfred Cheney Johnston - Ziegfeld Colour Collection |
||
Photographs inspired by Alfred Cheney Johnston - The official
photographer of the Ziegfeld Follies and the man who helped the world
to see the classic beauty of 'The Ziegfeld Girl'. "My grandparents kept a collection of
old photographs in a shoebox. In my youth, I spent many happy hours looking
through those treasures." Ian. I've just bought the Jack Johnson album 'In Between Dreams' and was stunned to hear the following lyrics sum up the aim of Shoebox Classics so eloquently:- "There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
And no song that I could sing but I can try for your heart And our dreams and they are made out of real things Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving". Jack Johnson - 'Better Together'
