June Wilkinson

“Sure it wasn’t June (the month), that would be too good to be true, but June Wilkinson, had asked the editor of the Vegas Visitor to be featured on the the cover. She reluctantly agreed to his choice of his young, unknown photographer, (me!). Traveling together in a car, we went to a spot right off Paradise Road to The Flamingo wash, (maybe more accurately known as the Vegas wash at Flamingo). She had seen the my work on other Vegas Visitor covers and liked what I had done with others she knew, so she had some confidence in me. I had a somewhat different approach than other photographers, being more natural, and she was willing to give it a try. Right in the middle of town, but secluded from others view by brush, she disrobed and posed for this photograph. Of course, I was ecstatic! -RSH She had been photographed by many, many, big time photographers, but it turned out she was overjoyed with the results and very proud of her VV cover.”
