William Claxton died Oct 11 2008 at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles of complications stemming from congestive heart failure. He was 80.
He was best known for his soulful portraits of jazz artists such as Chet Baker, and he went on to photograph Dylan and other musicians such as Joni Mitchell and Tom Jones. His images graced the covers of numerous albums.

Claxton, a founding member of The Recording Academy, started his photography career in 1952 while a student at University of California, Los Angeles.

He also worked with Sinatra, Steve McQueen and Rebecca De Mornay, and his photographs regularly appeared in such magazines as Life, Paris Match and Vogue.

In the 1960s, Claxton collaborated with his wife, fashion model Peggy Moffitt, to create a collection of iconic images featuring Rudi Gernreich’s fashion designs.
(Book avail here.)

A film he directed from that era, “Basic Black,” is considered by many to be the first “fashion video” and is now part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Claxton also wrote 13 books and held dozens of exhibitions of his work around the world. Read his obit in the LA Times here.

I like this shot because it’s a different look for Jerry.

Donna Lethal first reminded me about the Princess Luciana Pignatelli and sadly now tells us of her passing. Born 1935 – Died 2008.

“Every woman over 30 needs a homosexual in her life…for their incredible eye for line, proportion, detail and style.”
My favorite quote by Luciana Pignatelli. And of course it’s so true.
