An Afternoon With Alfred Cheney Johnston

Robert Hudovernik, author of
"Jazz Age Beauties,
The Lost Collection of Ziegfeld Photographer
Alfred Cheney Johnston"

researched Johnston and his work for seven years before writing his book.

When he signed a book contract with Rizzoli International the decision was immediately made by the publisher to focus the book primarily on the beautiful images of Alfred Cheney Johnston. This left very few pages for text in which to tell the indepth story of Cheney's life.

Here now is the first in a series of ebooks giving Alfred Cheney Johnston devotees a more intimate look into his life's work.

An "Afternoon With Alfred Cheney Johnston" is a 22 page interview with professional portraiture photographer Dick Robertson who had the good fortune to spend an afternoon with Alfred Cheney Johnston back in the 1960's. This interview is his personal account of his visit to ACJ's barn studio with four other photographers who greatly admired the master photographer's work. All these years later that visit with Cheney is still etched into Mr. Robertson's memory.

By the time Dick Robertson's visit took place Cheney was retired, his wife Doris had passed away, his own health was failing and Cheney was living an increasingly isolated life.

When he got a call from a small Connecticut photography club asking if they could come and visit with him, Cheney was thrilled. He relished these rare opportunities to reminisce about his work with an audience eager to hear everything he was willing to share.
