Rocky Graziano

This photograph of the famous boxer Rocky Graziano, with the title "He's a Good Boy Now," was made by legendary moviemaker Stanley Kubrick when the latter was young and before he became famous. This was made in 1949 or 1950.

I like this because he looks at once tough and vulnerable. I wonder if it was difficult to talk him into a bareass shot.

The original for this photo is truly massive, measuring more than 4500 by 4500 pixels. You may download a free copy in that size here. The shot below is cropped from the original.
