It's been awhile since I found a Time Traveling Celebrity, but this was worth the wait.
I give you Dustin Hoffman caught as a time traveler.If you aren't aware of my "theory" you've been missing out on certain facts of life. It's one of the special privileges celebrities have that we lowly peons never even get a chance to explore. They can pop in and out of time at will. The only trace of such activity is if a photo is taken when they're there and not here. Oh I'm sure if caught they simply claim to be studying for a part, immersing themselves in their role. I'm still waiting to find out what Will Ferrell was doing in drag and in my grandmother's photo album.
So where was Dustin and was he just taking a quiet vacation or immersed in preparing for a part? A film still to be made?

An American Dream is the latest book in my series of vernacular photography books. The American dream of owning a home through vintage vernacular photographs. The focus is on the people who lived within the homes as well as the varied architecture from the late 1800s to the 1960s.

The pose is perfect Dustin... the cigarette and all. :)
ReplyDeleteI think he went back in time to visit a young Mrs. Robinson.
And he's now an old Benjamin. Interesting twist on the original story!
DeletePerfect!
DeleteIt all begins to make sense now. Jolting Joe has left and gone away! Hey hey hey.
I should have paid closer attention to those lyrics.
DeleteLooks like a cleaned up James Dean too...
ReplyDeleteJean-Paul Sartre.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I think that will be a hard sell in Hollywood. "Listen, it's going to be a blockbuster. Hoffman as Sartre searching for himself on the couch. Like "My Dinner with Andre" but just Dustin, no Wallace."
DeleteYou have given me a whole new reason to search through my collection of old photographs. I am hopeless at recognising famous faces so I might use Google Image Search on the faces to give me a hand.
ReplyDeleteYou'll know 'em when you see 'em. It's always fun when I find one. Go for it Alan.
DeleteStill adore this idea and the photos!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun thing to find, but pretty rare. I'm always thrilled when I nab one. I have an "aha!" moment. Caught them!
