As I have mentioned before, I love CBS Sunday Morning. This Sunday included a story on Walter Iooss (pronounced y-long o-s). He is a renowned sport and portrait photographer. He is best known for his work on the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, but that is not what I found interesting.
Iooss has spent decades photographing athletes and models to great acclaim. He has photographed some of the greatest athletes we have ever known. He even got to photograph Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford. It is a very cool image. It shows two greats many years in age in uniforms similar to those worn during their time with the Yankees. Why do I love it? They hate it. Yogi and Whitey hate the image. They think it is very unflattering.
No matter how great you are...someone is there to tear you down. You have to have a very thick skin.
