01.Glenn Glasser When I graduated from college, I decided to
travel through Europe on a Eurail pass. Everyone else was doing
it, so it seemed like the thing to do. I didn't know that my visit
would coincide with a massive transit strike. I was effectively
trapped; my Eurail pass was worthless. I was wasting some
time in a café in Paris, a little dejected, and I noticed Helmut
Newton was there. Not long after that, a female fan came up to
his table with over-the-top declarations of love for him. I could
just make out their conversation in French. She actually said the
words
I would do anything for you to take my picture. Dryly,
Helmut told her to take off her clothes. She laughed and
eventually
demurred, saying she couldn’t possibly do that. He persisted,
then pulled a tiny point-and-shoot camera from his breast
pocket and said, "Take off
your clothes and sit on top of that table." Which she did. The
entire place was awestruck.
