Girls in the Windows by Ormond Gigli

The story behind Ormond Gigli’s photograph “Girls in the Windows” from 1960, reminds me of why I chose to be an artist.

Stemming from a thought in his head, he was able to gather 43 women and a Rolls Royce over a lunch break and take this incredible image before the building was knocked down forever.
