Gorgeous George would have been on the downhill side of his career by
the time I came along, and I wouldn't have seen these images except
maybe going through old magazines in the library stacks.
Still, there's magic in those old B&W images I think we've lost with
digital. I know you can make B&W images from digital, I've done it
myself ... but it's just not the same.
And I think we've lost something with the demise of magazines like
"Life" & "Look". "People" (nor any of its competitors) just does not
have the same weight & dignity.

I'm sure I saw that LOOK Magazine when I was 12 years old as my parents
bought it all the time ... most of the photos, though, were
not anything I would have seen growing up there in person... though I
remember who Gorgeous George was. I was horrified by
boxing and wrestling.
