[Leica] Alfred Cheney Johnston Photog

[Mark Rabiner]

 Alfred Cheney Johnston was not as famous as  Alberto Vargas.
They both worked for Ziegfeld at the same time.
 "Cheney"   (1884-1971)  did photos. Vargas did paintings. Vargas I'm long
familiar with as I'm sure most of you are as well. But Cheney I just found
out about tonight. Harrell I've long known worked in 8x10 sheet film a thing
I thought I'd have experience in by now.
But Cheney did the bulk of his work with 11x14 glass plates!!
And its worth it that extra size and that glass. Checkout some of his stuff
I think you'll agree.
(Caution) near naked ladies.
Amazing gorgeousness. And craft. And art.
