On the Wire - Humor

It Must be Art
Alan Thompson's Works Exhibited


The photographic genius of Alan Thompson will be on display throughout the month of December at the Los Angeles On The Wire Museum of Contemporary Art. Many of the images include model Gary Friesen, known throughout the art world as possessing "The world's most photogenic backside".



"I must say, Bill Mattson was my inspiration.", said Thompson. "Ever since that cover shot on the August 2001 On The Wire, I've been waiting to capture the essence of Gary's backside. We were in the middle of the Santa Barbara Channel. I looked to the bow and there it was. Luckily, I had my camera handy."
