Today is the centenary of one of the most influential fashion photographers Britain ever produced, Norman Parkinson.
Read my previous tribute to the great man.
Norman Parkinson CBE (21st April 1913 – 15th February 1990)
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
