John Stryker Black and White Photography
1883-1974
John Stryker was born in Rockford, Illinois, on September 1, 1883. He is most remembered for the body of photographs he took of "the Olympics of Western sports" — the rodeo. During his lifetime, Stryker crossed America, working rodeos as an announcer, a producer, promoter and, sometimes, a rider. He invented the chute that the animals come out of, and he developed new ways of photographing action during an event.
Dramatic shots were taken from the ground by propping his camera on the toe of his right boot — right next to a bucking bronco.
Some historians believe that John Stryker was directly responsible for the growth and sophistication of the sport.
His negatives are in the collection of the University of Texas at Permian Basin, Odessa. His photographs were exhibited during his lifetime at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming, and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. His photographs have been published widely, including in Life, Look, The Cattleman, The Western Horseman and The American Quarter Horse Journal. In 1977, The Rodeo of John Addison Stryker was published by Encino Press in Austin, featuring many of his famous images, with an introduction written by Ron Tyler, former director of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art.

Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe in "River of no Return", 1954 , 29, 8 x 19, 9 cm
Located in Cologne, DE
Norma Jeane Mortenson or better known as Marilyn Monroe – iconic, beautiful and maybe the most known Hollywood Stars of the 20th century. Born and raised in Los Angeles, USA, she spent most of her childhood in foster homes and orphanage. She got married with only 16 years old and while working for a factory during WW II, she met a photographer from the First Motion Picture Unit and started a succesful modeling career. The rest of her life is history: In the 50s she was one of the most marketable actresses, had held leading roles in various movies and was known for her immense sex appeal. As a highly intelligent woman, she knew how to build a career, while, in her private life she struggled with addiction and mood disorder. At the age of 36 she died from an overdose of barbiturates at her Los Angeles home.
With her breathy voice and hourglass figure, she is until today one of Hollywood's most famous actresses.
