have a small collection of "found photographs," mostly from flea markets. This one is from Knokke, Belgium. It's undated. I am very fond of it. Please, see on black.

How to Photograph the Figure by Bunny Yeager (Book)
At my last visit on a flea market in Berlin I found this lovely book about the photographer Bunny Yeager. It's the issue of whitestone book N°44 © 1963.
I was very surprised - inside is a promotion shooting for the movie James Bond 007 "Dr. No" with Sean Connery and the beautiful Ursula Andress.
Bunny Yaeger is famous for her amazing shots of Betty Page and Bikini Pin-up Photography.
