“I spent 3 Sundays going back each week to Venice Beach before the subjects “stopped flexing for my camera" and resumed posing for each other.”~ Max Yavno This is one of Max’s greatest images and so full of life and energy. A truly iconic LA image.A lovely anecdote: I had a print of this image up in the gallery recently and a lovely elderly woman came up to me and said, “I am that little girl hanging onto that rafter in the photograph”.She told me she lived right near the beach and every Sunday she would leave her tiny apartment and watch the body-building guys perform for the crowds and soak up the sun.Another more innocent era for sure.
