Est Eighty Percent Luck Frames A Gallery Of Celebrities
AP drama writer William Glover profiles L Arnold Weissberger, a fast shooting lawyer who uses a camera to document show business figures. He has presented 60 percent of his work to the Museum of the City of New York, capturing stars from Laurence Olivier to Elizabeth Taylor and Marian Anderson. Weissberger is hands on, avoids flash, and trusts instinct over equipment after photographing about 15 000 people and 60 000 travel shots. He carries two Leicas, one outdoor and one indoor, but notes the challenge of likeness in two-person portraits.
