"We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October."
October is a long way to go. Who's still going to wait? And whose plans have changed? I'm a little confused myself now... |

I think the only people who's plans have changed are those waiting on Leopard in terms of buying new hardware. I really couldn't care less about Leopard being delayed, Tiger runs beautifully for me.

i dont really see why so many people are waiting....it only costs like 100 bucks anyway. wud u be parted from ur mac for 6 months if somebody gave u $100!?
im not even sure i want leopard. Time machine destroys the whole point of the trash. why delete anything if its not really being deleted?? iChat's new features are cool but useless. I already have like 10 webclip widgets using DashClipping, and find absolutely no need for spaces. for me, Tiger is just fine. p.s. i also like the brushed metal theme! im not ready to part with that!! iMac Aluminum 20" 2.4 ghz 2gb RAM 300gb HD iMac 20" Core2duo 2gb 250gb Macbook White Core2duo 2gb 80gb Powermac G4 dual 450 |

I felt the same way when I was compemplating upgrading my old mac from Jaguar to Panther. I really liked 10.2's UI. I still like it in some ways compared to the 10.3/10.4 one. But I changed over and I never looked back. It looks great. It's just different, that's all. And I think the Tiger UI will be different too.

text: The Iron Man Armor Mk. III wiki last edited by X35 on 08/21/13 03:00PM View full history Stark's trademark red and gold armor arose from a battle with a villain named Mr. Doll, who could control the gold armor through a replica figurine. To circumvent the villain's ability, Stark withdrew and constructed a new suit with a significantly different look and a lighter build- thus allowing him to devote less of his own strength to moving the armor and more to fighting Mr. Doll's influence-, resulting in the streamlined red and gold suit.Iron Boy (aka Teen Stark) wore a slightly modified version of the Mk. III armor during his battle with Iron Man, although it was hastily destroyed by Iron Man.Alternate EarthsThe Iron Man of Earth-2149 (Marvel Zombies) wears the Mk. III armor.

Based on the hit USA Network series "The 4400," an original novel about a group of 4400 people taken out of their time and returned to the present day with special powers, only no one, including them, is sure if they are a force for good...or for evil.
Over nine thousand people were killed in Seattle, when promicin was unleashed within the city limits. Now the Federal government has to decide how to deal with citizens who have powers and abilities that cannot be legislated. An uneasy truce has arisen between Jordan Collier, the self-styled leader of The 4400, and the Federal government. While he stopped more people from being killed, Collier was the one responsible for unleashing promicin on the world. Now governments around the world have to wonder just who controls these powerful people and just what are Collier and The 4400 going to do next?

The Bose SoundTrue On-Ear is a very comfortable everyday-use headphone that sounds good and collapses into a very compact carrying case.
Headphones are available in a zillion styles, sizes, and price ranges. To help you cut through the clutter, we've assembled a list of top headphones by type and price.
Bose's first on-ear wireless headphone is compact, comfortable, and sounds excellent for a Bluetooth headphone.
If you're looking for a $150-$250 on-ear headphone, the well-built V-Moda XS should be on your short list.
At $129.95, the SoundLink Color is Bose's least expensive portable Bluetooth speaker to date and the $249.95 SoundLink On-Ear is the first on-ear Bluetooth headphone from Bose.
Hot off its acquisition by Apple, Beats delivers the Solo 2 on-ear headphones, the sequel to its best-selling model.
The new version of Beats Solo headphones has better build quality, is more comfortable, and sounds better.
The Bose SoundLink Bluetooth On-Ear is pricey, but it's also one of the best -- if not the best -- on-ear wireless headphones to date.
While they fall short of delivering truly excellent sound, the well-designed Philips Fidelio M1 on-ear headphones are comfortable to wear and well-suited for day-to-day use.
Its list price of $300 is a bit high, but the the M2BT is well-designed, good sounding wireless headphone.
The $200 F1 doesn't feature the noise-cancelling NC1, but it does offer the same impressive sound quality in a comfortable on-ear design.

Veteran Outfielder Johnny Lindell thought he had the word for the surprising early-season form of the New York Yankees : rhythm. "When the batters are cold, the pitchers are hot, and vice versa." Manager Casey Stengel admitted, in an ecstatic sort of way, that he was baffled. Instead of falling on their faces without the ailing Joe DiMaggio, the Yankees headed west this week after one of their best starts in years: ten wins in 13 games, and with a line-up composed largely of guys named Elmer.
Still in the dugout at week's end was such costly talent as ailing Clouter Charlie...

Just recently, for the first time, I used Drontal wormer for my cats. This was an unpleasant experience for both the cat and myself; having to try and force a table down the poor animals throat.
I have always used Panacur and had excellent results, and I have never had to fight with the animal.
I find if you have a pet that doesn't like the wormer in their mouth, then just mix it in some food, unlike a tablet that they seem to find every time…

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Red Hook' tag.
On a cold winter's morning, what's going on in the harbor?
The usual . . . . Kathleen heads out with a scow,
Eric R. Thornton muscles scrap,
Evening Tide reconnects with an oil barge,
Diane B disconnects from John Blanche for a spell,
Joyce D. Brown heads out to a job,
Red Hook, wreath still in place, shuttles between barges,
And Ellen McAllister
shows Performance out to sea. And in response to my cuz . . JS . . . Ellen performs her magic on the container ship . . .
And tugster, who took these pictures, needs to warm up and get to work himself.
Here were 1 and 2 of this series, and here was a much earlier post about NYC DEP's essential service.
Below is North River and Hunts Point as seen from Rockaway.
Port Richmond heads into Hell's Gate,
Red Hook in the distance and Port Richmond passing by,
and finally all three new boats with Red Hook in the distance. Here are some photos of Red Hook as she appeared when first in service in early 2009.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
. . . my latest coined term . . . for which the acronym GUP lends itself is . . . gross universal product, i.e. what's transported in vessels like these. And it really is "universal," as evidenced by a Hong Kong vessel like this. That it is gross . . . let me say that it goes without saying.
Newtown Creek and Red Hook belong to two generations of NYCDEP vessels traveling along the East River . . . past places like this in these photos from 2012. Red Hook came to transport GUP in 2009, the latest sludge carrier until
this one –Hunts Point–came along this February . . . in a photo compliments of bowsprite
Newtown Creek was launched in 1968 . . . and still carries a lot of GUP.
North River . . . 1974. Imagine your garbage being picked up by a 1974 Oshkosh!
Owls Head, the previous class and shown here in 2009 mothballed, launched in 1952! And I had to find some 1952 waste picker uppers.
In case you're wondering what prompts this post and what is new in this post, given previous ones like this and this . . . well here it is, something I hunted for a long time and finally found yesterday when the air-conditioned New York Public Library felt fantastic! Mayor La Guardia spent a grand total of $1,497,000–much of it WPA money–for three sludge carriers launched in January, February, and March 1938, Wards Island, Tallman Island, and Coney Island, resp. Wards Island and Tallman Island became barges Susan Frank and Rebecca K and Coney Island was reefed in 1987, although I can't find where.
Below are the specs. Note that "sludge" is NOT raw GUP. I'd love to hear stories bout and see pics of these Island class DEP boats. How large were the crews and what was the work schedule?
Click on the photo below for info on what was at least part of waste disposal–built in Elizabethport 1897– prior to La Guardia's sludge tankers.
Here from the NYC Municipal Archives is a dumping boat said to be hauled out at "East River Dry docks," which I'm not sure the location of.
Unrelated, here's another vessel–Pvt. Joseph F. Merrell-- built at the same location along the KVK in early 1951 and disposed of not far away after transitioning from Staten Island Merrell-class ferry to NYC prison space. Does anyone know the disposition of Don Sutherland's photos of Merrell/Wildstein?
Red Hook with Alice Oldendorff in background.
Lia with Stolt Effort on the far side.
Hellas sisters with Left Coast Lifter in the background. Anyone know when the gargantu-crane will move toward the TZ Bridge site?
Ever Divine has seraphic lines . . .
Zim Luanda follows a sinuous path through the KVK with assistance from Brendan Turecamo…
… as does Hanjin Durban, escorted by Miriam Moran…
maintaining a steady course between the two container ships as MOL Excellence bounds seaward…
and encounters a sister MOL Expeditor waltzed in with Marjorie B McAllister.
So . . . what do you know about this ship?
Answer tomorrow. All photos here by Will Van Dorp.
Here was the first time I used this title, which clearly needs to be used again.
Let me start here at 13:38. Note from far to near, or black hull to black hull . . . Cartagena, Four Sky with Lee T Moran, Red Hook, and Genco Knight.
Twin Tube slides through the opening between Bow Kiso and Genco Knight.
Even the bow of Genco Knight is crowded as their vessel prepares to dock and resupply the salt depot.
Kimberly Turecamo works the bulk carrier's stern as Evening Star passes with B. No. 250.
Add McAllister Girls in the foreground and Ellen McAllister in the distance against the blue hull, which will appear a bit later.
McCrews heads westbound and Four Sky now seems to be doing the same.
Are you out of breath yet? Only 10 minutes has elapsed.
Linehandler 1 cruises blithely through it, supremely self-assured.
Cheyenne adds color.
Another line handler boat scouts out the set up . . . as a new blue hull arrives from the west, as
. . . does Charles D. McAllister.
Crew on the blue hull–Nord Observer–stows lines as they head for tropical heat, escorted
by Catherine Turecamo although
at the turn on the Con Hook range they meet Mare Pacific heading in with Joan Turecamo and Margaret Moran. At this point . . .
14:12 . . . the mergansers decided to hightail it . . . or at least follow their crests. And I hadn't even turned around yet to see the congestion on land behind me.
All these photos in a very short time by Will Van Dorp.
My thanks to Brian DeForest and Atlantic Salt, whom Genco Knight was arriving to restock.
Here was a post about a dense traffic day as well as a busy day.
The race may last for less than 10 minutes for (most) boats, but each participant spends hours before and after. Here, using the power of thousands of conceptual horses and one very real donkey, all four vessels in Miller contingent make their way upriver.
At Pier 66, crew on deck and crew below start them up.
Lady B (read her interesting history here and here, the latter explaining that the "B" stands for either "Benazir" or Bhutto."
For boats that arrive on the scene early, Red Hook may have come straight from a job delivering bunker to Norwegian Breakaway, there's time for what might look like lollygagging, and
(in these next two shots from William Hyman) saluting the spectators or just
being seen. Does Seagus have another name?
But it's also getting acquainted time.
Some regulars didn't show, and other vessels arrived that I'd never seen before.
I had to look up South River Rescue Squad attending the Great North River race . . .
Somewhere in the attractively dressed race day crew on Jake-boat Resolute are two of the principals of tugboatinformation.com . . . hi Birk and Craig, as well as the force majeure aka Rod behind Narragansett Bay Shipping.
This kayaker stays well out of the stream.
The white bowstriped vessel–Lt. Michael P. Murphy– in the distance won the prize for persistence, finishing the course in a historic half an hour . . . spending most of that time doing a mid-race-course onboard repair.
Despite forecasts of storms–and rain north of the GW Bridge–the only lightning I saw was here and
thunder from the crowds on the piers. That's the intrepid bowsprite showing us her drawing/painting arm.
Spectators took advantage of any platform.
More soon. Thanks to William Hyman for his fotos, especially the one of an exuberant W. O. Decker, which I featured hard at work using Seth Tane fotos from over 30 years ago here. Click here for John Huntington's superb fotos from a wet place in the race . . ..
Again, my hat's off to all who must work on Labor Day, including my son, who always works holidays for the higher hourly rate. And if you're inclined, read what Paul Krugman has to say about Labor Day.
Uh . . . what's this?
It's Buddy, living breathing braying hoof-beglittered mascot of Debora Miller. If you've never been to the New York's race, there's a best mascot category. In the past there've been . . . dogs, hermit crabs, even a chicken . . . but Buddy redefines the contest.
With the threat of rain, someone made a wise decision and advanced the start of the race. Here Resolute, Catherine Miller, Tasman Sea, and Red Hook move toward the starting line . . . feted by now-retired 1931 fireboat John J. Harvey.
Foto thanks to William Hyman . . . the line up.
And at 10:29:30 . . . they're off . . . with 1930 wooden tug W. O. Decker taking an early and easy lead!!
45 seconds later . . . W. O. Decker has dropped back.
Here's they are 15 seconds later.
John J. Harvey is not a tug, but to see the speed out of this octogenarian . . . was humbling. An engineer toiling away in the engine room later told me all four engines were driving propulsion.
The red tug–Resolute–went on to win, although I don't yet have the official times. I could have written them down, but I was far too busy applauding and taking fotos.
And here's the crowd at the finish line.
Part B tomorrow. Thanks to William Hyman for foto 4. All others by Will Van Dorp.
Many thanks to Glen Miller of Miller's Launch for my ride this year.
Unrelated and almost forgot: Here's a query from Jeff S, a frequent commenter on this blog: he saw a "very weather beaten wooden sailing vessel (hull) at the Jersey end of the Goethels Bridge, about 65-70 foot long , two deck cabins and a bowsprit." It was parked in the oversize lot waiting to cross the Bridge when traffic gets light. Anyone have an idea what this may be?
This summer has taken me to memorable places and points in time, one of which was this comparison of the NJ-side Holland Tunnel vents today and thirty years ago.
This morning as I walked to a meeting on the Lower West Side of Manhattan, I took this set of fotos, all within a quarter mile . . . More time travel?
Here's a perspective of Lilac and Pilot from an angle that was not available–due to construction–as recently as two months ago. Click here (foto #11) for more info on Pilot, the 1941 tug along Lilac's starboard side.
Fair early morning sun illuminates tug Red Hook and the CRRNJ building, seen here 30 years ago.
Brendan Turecamo passes the Hoboken Terminal, originally completed in 1907. For a look at what's behind the Terminal, click here.
Tailing Brendan Turecamo was El Galeon Andalucia, presumably headed south for Puerto Rico and Florida.
In Spanish . . . is the phrase "Felices vientos," I'm wondering . . . Also, is El Galeon Andalucia the same vessel that I saw a half year ago in San Juan then called Galeon La Pepa?
All fotos taken this morning between 7:30 and 8:30 by Will Van Dorp.
No, this isn't the January River. I leave for there today, but this . . . !! These next four fotos come from the perspicacious bowsprite, taken yesterday afternoon. The tug in the foreground is Sea Wolf is 1982. In the background is –of course–Ellis Island, 1900. In between with the yellow stack is
Yankee, 1907. Her long history includes a stint as Machigonne moving passengers across the sixth boro from Ellis Island to other boros and to NJ. The tow began at the far right of this foto.
More tugster on Yankee when I return, but before then, I'm sure there'll be other info.
Six plus years ago, a friend Mike caught these fotos of Sea Wolf's sister–Sea Lion–moving an unusual vessel named Abora III out of the Morris Canal to sea. The reed craft made it more than halfway across the Atlantic.
All fotos by bowsprite. Advance notice came thanks to Rod Smith, who once worked as deckhand on Yankee and who will have his own account of this move . . . to Brooklyn. Here (2007) and here (2011) are my previous posts with Yankee fotos from New Jersey. Click here to get some backstory–and video of Sea Wolf departing with ferry– from a supporter who wanted to keep them on the watery edge of Hoboken.
Now, I pack and head south myself. Vou escrever mais em breve.
Upriver at Magdalen Island, here's a followup to Ooops 3 . . . Mary Alice (1974) brings in bucket on dredge Delaware Bay (2006) to begin process of raising the beached scow. That's Leopard Albany-bound on left side of page. See Leopard anchored in the sixth boro in the second foto here.
These fotos come thanks to Dock Shuter.
Resolute (1975) heads for a rendezvous with Zim Qingdao. That's High Mercury and the ferry terminal in the background.
Anyone know who takes credit for that white arch atop the terminal?
Headon view of the new Mary Gellatly (2000). Actually, I wish the green trim along lower side of house windows were left . . . even enhanced. That's Maersk Caitlin in the background.
Tied up along the salt pile . . . it's Vane's Red Hook (2013) and Hunting Creek (2012) They may be the two newest tugboats in the sixth boro.
Catherine Turecamo (1972) closes in to meet UASC Jeddah.
And here . . . high and dry and needing a shave, it's Specialist. Here (scroll through to the end) is a foto of the same vessel–house up–three plus years ago. Is she really a 1956-build?
And finally, heading into the Narrows, it's
Sea Bear (1990).
Thanks to Dock Shuter for the Mary Alice fotos. All others by Will Van Dorp.
Unrelated: Here's a NYTimes 12-minute documentary update report on the voyage of Break of Dawn and the Mobro barge of Islip garbage. Thanks to Old Salt Rick for calling it to my attention.

ARKOMA — The 2013 portion of the basketball season got off on the right foot for the Arkoma Mustangs Thursday night as they picked up a home victory over the Wister Wildcats by the score of 46-37. The Mustangs jumped out to a 4-1 lead and never trailed. They enjoyed a 12-6 lead after one period. However, the Wildcats stayed close as Adrian Gonzales' steal and lay-up with 26 seconds left before halftime cut Wister's deficit to 20-13 at halftime. However, that was as close as the 'Cats got.
ARKOMA — A tough night shooting doomed the Wister Lady Wildcats as they suffered a 62-44 loss to the Arkoma Lady Mustangs on Thursday night at the Arkoma Gym. The Lady 'Cats missed 19 shots in the first half, which led to them being down 19-7 after one period and being shutout 15-0 in the second quarter to trail the Lady Mustangs by 27 points, 34-7, at the break. Wister did open the second half with a 9-4 run to cut the deficit to 38-16, but Arkoma's lead was never seriously in jeopardy.

Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot
Container City: Shipping containers, indispensable tool of the globalized consumer economy, reflect the skyline in Singapore, one of the world's busiest ports.
Topics: Sex, Love and Sex, Life News
British-born art dealer Peter Fetterman may love women almost as much as the late, great film director Francois Truffaut. The latest testament to Fetterman's particular rapture over the feminine is an exquisite new collection of photographs he edited called "Woman: A Celebration."
The celebrator is a trim, elegant, immaculately tailored man in his mid-50s. We meet inside an armory on the Upper West Side of New York where an art sale is being held. We sit, sipping Merlot and comparing the sights of beautiful women walking to and fro with the photographs of beautiful women in his book. I turn to a page at random — Audrey Hepburn leaning out the window of a black limousine is on a page opposite a woman curled up in darkness, revealing only her naked hips, shoulders and braided dark hair.
Do you own all these photographs?
I do. It's a sickness. This book is the result of my disease.
And you love women?
And I love women. They are so much more interesting than men. So much more complex.
Present company excluded.
Present company excluded. There are a few sensitive, decent men in the world. But you don't really want to hang out with [most men] too much. Too much aggression. How did you come across the book? You were strolling by your local Barnes & Noble?
I saw a woman paging through it at St. Mark's Bookshop in the East Village. She was lovely, but I noticed that the book was even more beautiful. [A blonde walks by.] She reminds me of one of the famous photographs in the book ["American Girl in Italy," 1951, by Ruth Orkin]. A gorgeous woman walks down a street surrounded by slouching men ogling and giving wolf-whistles. Was that photo real or staged?
Ruth met this young American woman in Rome — and Rome being Rome, and Italian men being Italian men, Ruth had a sense that an unchaperoned woman walking around the piazza might make some interesting photo opportunities. The American woman walked through once and not much happened. Ruth asked her to do it again and she got that response.
You're not a woman so I can ask you this: How old are you?
I'm 55 years old.
So you don't really know what Rome was like in the 1950s?
I did go to Rome as a student and fell in love with her. In those days, you could fly to Rome for $20. Every weekend I could, I would get away.
How did you begin collecting photographs?
I started collecting on a minor level 25 years ago and I became obsessed. It took me over. I changed my life to do it. I felt good surrounded by all these images of women. I thought, "Why can't I feel good like this all the time?" I was in this very stressful other life — I was producing films. I produced a movie with Mia Farrow called "The Haunting of Julia." I produced a movie with Pavarotti called "Yes, Giorgio" for MGM. It became the "Heaven's Gate" of musicals. It was an enormous hit on the airlines, but not on earth. The problem with the film industry is that it's very hard to indulge in your own tastes because it takes millions of dollars to fulfill a vision. The great thing about photographs is that when I started out you could buy any photograph you wanted because there wasn't a photography market like there is now.
I think most people are a little confused about what selling photographs means. You don't have the negatives, do you?
No. My gallery represents photographers who control their own negatives, or we sometimes acquire individual prints from various periods.
Is Ruth Orkin still alive?
No. She passed away in the 1980s. Her daughter runs her estate and from time to time they make some prints.
No two prints are ever alike.
Right. If you've ever been into a darkroom you know the nuances to make the piece brighter or darker.
I met my wife in a darkroom.
Did you trip over her and there she was?
We took a darkroom class together and occasionally rented the teacher's darkroom on the same evening.
So your date night would be printing —
No, no. We barely knew each other. One night I had a sense she was printing nudes. So I waited her out. After she left, I went through the trash and took her discards. They were self-portrait nudes.
I like that story. See, photography is good for men. It's good for their relationships.
When did you become a "womanphile"?
I didn't realize I was doing it until I looked around my house and realized that all I had hanging around the house were scenes of women. I never consciously set out to collect images of women, but I suppose — subconsciously — that was my way to understand them.
You operate out of California?
Yes. I have a gallery in Santa Monica.
Before our interview I tried to consider what your prejudices were about woman. For one thing, there are no pictures of women weightlifters.
There are a couple of gigantic women. I suppose I have what they call a "romantic" view of the world. I have this lyrical, impressionistic-painting view of women.
Are you married?
I am married. I live with women. I have two daughters, 4 and 9. I just acquired for my daughters a little female dog. And I have a mother-in-law who comes along most days. I'm surrounded by women, and maybe this book is a way to — [pauses].
How long have you been married?
Ten years, which, in Los Angeles, let me tell you, is one of the longest marriages. People change their partners like they change their cars. And I have my gallery — that's my little oasis in the desert of Los Angeles.
So let's keep paging. This is one image that struck me — a topless African-American is leaning back holding a lit cigarette, in a holder.
Max Thorek [the photographer] was actually a doctor in the 1930s. He was an amateur photographer, but he was great. I just saw this image, and I just thought it was luscious and Deco. And unusual. I don't know the story, but he obviously just worked with this model, and he communicated with her amazingly well, and together they created this sexy image.
How does your wife feel about your collection of images?
She loves it. She loves it. I think they're all tasteful.
Has anyone accused you of being sexist?
Not yet. I thought that was going to happen, but so far I haven't had people e-mail me, "How dare you!" I think what's good about the book is that it's not just full of pretty women. It switches moods suddenly for no reason. It goes from elegant images to heart-wrenching ones. I think why people like it is that it isn't predictable in the sense of "Oh, it's just another fashion book full of pictures of Audrey Hepburn." It isn't. It seems to touch men and women, actually. It's got an international cast.
This is one of my favorites [A photograph of a poised, young, dark-skinned girl.] Charles Scowen, the photographer, operated in India. Back in those days [1870] people in Europe would go on these exotic journeys and they wanted to take back souvenirs of what they had seen, be it the Far East or Asia. And he operated a successful business that captured local Indian scenes. There is something about this portrait — when I first saw it 25 years ago, I thought, "This is an amazing photo." It's my favorite in the whole book. There is something haunting about her. The physical print is very beautiful. She just has this wistful air which is very — I want to know her story. I love portraits. That's what photography is best at. Portraits tell stories. I'm curious. I love stories. And each of the women in this book has a story.
I write for the sex editor. So let's talk about nudes — here is one of a naked woman curled in blackness.
It's by Ruth Bernhard, who is one of the great women photographers of the nude. She is 98 years old now. An amazing woman.
It's "naked woman as landscape."
She met Edward Weston on the beach by accident in Santa Monica during the 1930s. He encouraged her. She said, "I'm a woman. I can't be a photographer." He said, "Yes, you can." She'll go down in history as one of the great female interpreters of the nude. And I asked her, "What was the difference between a woman taking a nude of a woman and a man taking a nude?" She said, "I'm much more gentle. I approach it in a much more gentle, natural way than any man."
To this day, this is one of my great regrets: When I was a photographer I went out with a beautiful woman named Marsha. I took photographs of her wearing a black slip, but I never went further because I wanted to be an artist. I couldn't imagine keeping my pure artistic vision if she was naked.
You're a sensitive man.
Ha! Well, 20 years later I think, "You idiot! You could have had nude photographs of Marsha."
Where is Marsha now? Try and find her. I wonder how she looks.
Have you ever taken photographs?
I take bad photographs of my children. I don't think I have any talent. I've done a lot of what I call photo aerobics: I look at photos all day long, and breathe them. And I think I've trained my eye to tell a good image from a bad one.
[Turning to a page] Well, I suppose Edward Steichen started the whole "naked woman as landscape."
Steichen and Stieglitz were pretty randy guys. They loved being around women. And they were great photographers. I suppose they are the great photographers of the nude. You look at Stieglitz's images of O'Keeffe. And it's as good as it gets. And then that Willie Ronis [photograph of a naked woman sitting on a chair], who is one of my favorites. He's 92 now. The way the light hits her shoulder, it's very Dutch-painting. Beautiful. Tender. The fact that she's shot from behind, you don't see her face. The shadows! The light! The body! It's one of the great nudes.
Who took the first photograph of a naked woman?
If you go to the Metropolitan Museum now, there is an exhibition of French daguerreotypes from 1839, 1840. There are some very interesting daguerreotypes of nudes. I suppose 1840 is the first time that a guy like you would get a woman to take her clothes off and pose for you.
Were they considered girlie pictures or art back then?
Some of them are very erotic. There are, like, two women together, you know. [He squeezes his voice so he sounds like he's talking about naked women on "Monty Python."] I think they're incredibly erotic. And there is a whole cult of collectors of nude daguerreotypes.
Where do you draw the line between girlie pictures and art? Do you like Helmut Newton?
He's very "one note" for me. I think he's kind of pathetic in a way. It's just … I wouldn't want to live with them. They're interesting to look at. They're fun. But are they great, great photographs in the way that you're talking about with a Steichen and Stieglitz? No. They're very much of a time. They're kind of voyeuristic and cheap in a way. I suppose I'm not a great Helmut Newton fan. To tell you the truth I find them kind of boring. I don't find them terribly arousing. Kitsch, you know. One-note kitsch. They're not going to withstand time. I think in 100 years or 200 years when people are talking about the history of photography they're still going to be talking about Steichen and Stieglitz, but I don't think anyone is going to be seriously talking about Helmut Newton.
So you came of age in the 1960s?
I was a '60s guy. The Beatles, and —
So you've slept with hundreds of girls?
Hundreds of people [he says sarcastically]. Yes, this is pre-disease. Pre-everything. University. We were radical. We threw paint at the American ambassador. We wanted to save the world.
When you had sex with girls in the 1960s it didn't matter that they were naked, right?
I was pretty shy then. I was shy. I wasn't David Hemmings in "Blow Up." I was, I don't know, shy.
But girls got naked all the time in the 1960s.
All the time!
So it wasn't a big deal.
No. This was the Swinging Sixties in London. This was the miniskirt. I mean, you know, I used to just sit in the university library and watch all the pretty girls walk by in their miniskirts. You know what a miniskirt felt like? It was an incredible revolution. That may be the greatest thing that ever happened to women — the miniskirt. That was liberating. To see girls' legs — even in the winter! In England.
They all wore underwear, right?
They wore underwear, but they had great legs. It was amazing. Ah, the '60s. I feel like we're two old guys sittin' on a park bench reminiscing.
Did you talk to these women that you slept with? Have conversations?
Yes. Yes. I keep talking about this in my interviews. When you work in an office, there are all sorts of ways of looking at a beautiful woman so she doesn't know you're looking at her — or she may intuitively be aware, but she can't point her finger and yell, "J'accuse!" That's how we had to look at women who were going to sleep with us the in the late 1970s.
What do you think it's like now? It's harder now?
Now there are all these dizzy dames who believe oral sex isn't really sex — I think it's back to the 1950s.
No one has time for sex now. Young people are so concerned with their careers and making it and becoming famous.
So back in the 1960s could you objectify a naked woman?
And that was cool?
That was cool. The 1960s were great. It was John Lennon. "All You Need Is Love."
It's like when you look at a picture of a naked movie star –
It's a double. It's not the real woman. It's not Meg Ryan. It's Meg Ryan's double.
But she's acting. Have you ever seen a photograph of a casual naked movie star?
I saw some Marilyn Monroe shots. [Pause.] I think actresses today are all surrounded by publicists. They're not allowed to be casual.
Were the Monroe pictures the ones Stern took?
Those were … they're pretty good. Especially the ones she marked in red.
I interviewed Stern once.
He's a character, isn't he?
To this day he regrets that he could have slept with her during the shooting session, but he didn't.
He didn't sleep with Marilyn Monroe?
No. Imagine that as a regret — you could have slept with Marilyn Monroe, but you didn't.
It's up there on the great list of missed opportunities. [He begins paging through his book.] This is Henri Cartier-Bresson. Those are his wife's legs. He's 96 and his wife Martine is 30 years younger. I love this photo. I think this is one of the sexiest photos in the book not because she has beautiful legs, but she's in a beautiful short Chanel skirt. And she's reading Proust. What more could a man want than a woman with a brain?
You're such a leg man.
I like legs. I mean, look at that. That's another great leg shot. That's a Thurston Hopkins of a couple kissing; you see the shape of her legs. And this is one of the great — this is the "Helen of Troy shot." That shape could launch a thousand ships. He [Edouard Boubat] was obsessed with this woman. I met him before he died. There was a beautiful, small show in Paris of all of his images of Lella, who was the great love of his life — who he never married.
Did he do any nude shots?
Yes. There are a couple of nudes. But this is the greatest one.
Of the customs of the times — how bizarre was it that her bra is –
Black? That was it. She was a style maker. She was strong. Look at that face. It's like, "Don't mess with me. I'm gonna do whatever I want."
She's the Madonna of 1947.
With a little bit more class. Sorry, Madonna. [Pages through his book.] Jackie Kennedy has her clothes on.
Look! Cheerleaders! You gotta love 'em.
You gotta love that one. [Pause.] So you are going to promote this book as the greatest sex book about women ever made?
But these aren't sex photos.
This photo would never happen in America. This picture is backstage at the Folies Bergere in Paris. What's great about this image is the women and the men are so nonchalant. If this was in America, backstage at 42nd Street, the guys would be right on top of her. But this photo is just so casual. It's like she's naked and they're having a conversation. I love that photo. It's a great theatrical photo.
Back to naked women — my wife and I are walking on the beach at Montauk, and there's this nude section –
Like in the South of France?
It's not an official nude beach. Of course at any kind of nude beach you're supposed to be casual.
Right. You're not really supposed to look.
Again, it's that looking without revealing that you're looking.
Did you guys go nude?
No. Of course not.
Why didn't you go nude and join them? Are you shy?
No. I've done research on nudist colonies in America that are anti-sex — the idea that the naked body is not erotic. That's the same philosophy behind nude beaches. I don't believe in that. I believe unless you're in a hospital, the naked body should always be erotic.
Absolutely. [Pause.] Absolutely.
So again, at what historical point was there a clear distinction between art and girlie photos?
It's all in the matter of interpretation. Obviously, photographers realized there was a market for erotic photos. You're right that there is a distinction between the art photographers and the girlie photographers. Girlie photographers out to make a quick buck, I suppose.
I looked through — for professional reasons —
— 15 years of Playboy centerfolds from the 1950s. You think naked women are always the same, but they aren't. The girls from the '50s have a kind of kitsch-y innocence about them. The images have aged well.
A lot of touchups, I imagine. A lot of airbrushing going on. He was a pioneer, ol' Hugh.
You don't care much for him?
No. Those are not my kind of photos. This is a very classy book. Is this an arty book, do you think?
Yes, but –
A hundred years from now when Playboy is completely antique, the centerfolds from the '50s will seem like art.
Every period gets rediscovered and reinterpreted.
