Dave Kaufman — radio personality on CJAD, Montreal, and host of the Delve podcast — flew down to California for the first time last month just to see The Rolling Stones on the No Filter tour. It turned out that Andrew was in Malibu at the same time. Andrew didn’t go to the concert but was curious about to hear about it — as one might imagine. So, Dave met Andrew in Malibu the next morning and related a song-by-song experience of seeing The Rolling Stones live. This triggers many thoughts from Andrew, resulting in a spirited and highly entertaining discussion.

Jonathan Becker (Vanity Fair) talks about photographing the famous, getting drunk with Sinatra, and painting John Phillips’ house 33:57

3 years ago33:57

33:57

Photographer Jonathan Becker began contributing to Vanity Fair on the heels of an especially successful solo exhibition in Chelsea in 1981. His portraits of filmmaker Louis Malle and of Becker’s mentor and friend Brassaï featured largely in the pages of the prototype for the magazine’s relaunch, in 1983. Becker’s specialty in portraits, photographed by and large on location, soon became a Vanity Fair staple: Robert Mapplethorpe, Jack Kevorkian, Jocelyn Wildenstein, and Martha Graham, as well as countless socialites, artists, and heads of state. Assignments for the magazine have dispatched Becker far and wide—from the Amazonian jungle, for first-encounter photographs of members of the Yanomami tribe, to Buckingham Palace, for the first photographs showing the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles together. Becker is known for his close collaboration with Bob Colacello, Alex Shoumatoff, and other Vanity Fair writers on stories about the denizens of worldly watering holes: the Adirondacks and Aspen, Palm Beach and Palm Springs, Capri and so forth. Over the course of three years’ work for the Rockefeller Foundation, Becker documented its funded projects on five continents. Four books of his work have been published: Bright Young Things ; Studios by the Sea, Artists of Long Island’s East End (derived from a Vanity Fair assignment with Bob Colacello); Bright Young Things: London ; and, recently, Jonathan Becker: 30 Years at Vanity Fair .
