Friday Night Photos - Shots of the Famous edition

Years ago, my father took this shot of Pablo Picasso breaking up stones (my grandparents lived close by for a while).

Any 'famous' shots your end?

Off for pork ribs and extras.

Thanks for Friday POT

Yes, I have no shots of famous people. At least not in digital.

Pablo. Wow. That's impressive. Chop chop.

That shot of Picasso is gold, don't ever loose it.

Not famous but historical.
Some shots my dads twin brother took during WWII as a B-24 crew member.

I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise.
But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.

One of my great uncles was an observer on reconnaissance missions over Belgium/Holland, etc.

They're especially meaningful to me, as my dad was the nosegunner in a Liberator, flying "the Hump". I look at your photos and imagine what it must've looked like to my Dad, hunkered in the cramped pit at front of the plane. (It looks like your photos were taken from the tailgunner's position.)

Do you know where your pics were taken? From the topography, it looks like the European theatre.

I think my uncle was a waist door gunner and from looking at some of the other shots that were taken on the ground I'm guessing the squadron was based somewhere in North Africa (Libya maybe) and flying their missions in the European theater.

Outstanding pic of Pablo at work BR! Too cool. Wow. I share a birthday with him, that's all. I was looking for but can't find my slide scans of a closeup of Roy Buchanan - taken while he was playing from a few feet away. Oh well. One of these days...

We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.

Picasso himself. My inner art nerd is super jealous.

My only 'famous' photos are a selfie with Al Franken, and Bill Clinton's motorcade when I went to Washington DC.
