The Splendid Photography Of Art Shay

Legendary photographer Art Shay has an exhibition at New York's Morrison Hotel Gallery, and to celebrate the his work, Slate has published a number of Shay's best pieces in a beautiful retrospective. Seems like the man was everywhere in the 60s, and captured nearly all the iconic American entertainers and athletes of the time. Shay, 92, says by his second year as a freelance photographer (1952), he made $60,000, which would be impressive today, let alone back then.
