like scenes from VC Andrews.
I don't know how I ended up at the jack robinson archive but while there I discovered a series of photographs featuring gloria vanderbilt and her sons carter and anderson cooper. I've always had an interest in the Vanderbilt's, a filthy rich american family rocked by tragedy and court room scandal and we can't forget the fact that a certain nightly news caster was a product of this blood line. I had originally saved these images for
mcollinknight, she harbors a sweet admiration for Mr. Cooper but when i took a closer look I started to wonder if I was seeing a family lead by a distant mother and father who never fully understood their children.









but maybe it just took some time to feel natural in front of the camera.

an earlier shoot, our future anchor man is on the left.

i got an umbrella.

But then again they are just photographs taken in an abhorrently decorated home. A picture may be worth a thousand words but no one can ever understand a family dynamic unless you are a member, stories are merely created by curious onlookers.
Interestingly enough Diane Arbus also photographed
