There's nothing comparable to casual photos of Bettie Page and this is one
of the most fantastic collections to have surfaced in recent years. On Sept.
09 1956, Don Baida was lucky enough to be in the backseat of the same car
Bettie Page was riding in for the famous Headly Farm camera club outing
which was also attended by Arnold Kovacs, Art Amsie and Weegee. It was about
one year before Bettie Page quit and she looks happy, full of confidence
and very lively in these photos.
I recently spoke with Don (May 2008) and he told me that he only
photographed Bettie Page once which is significant. It means that all of
these separate scenes can be placed at the same location on the same day.
Photographs from other people surface from this great camera club outing
and can now be traced to a specific time and place.
