Legendary fashion and portrait photographer David Bailey has revealed that he was diagnosed with vascular dementia three years ago. Sufferers live an average of five years after symptoms are identified.
Trying to copy an iconic fashion photograph by the great David Bailey is a daunting task in the best of circumstances. But how much more daunting would it be if you were doing this shoot with Bailey standing behind you, looking over your shoulder and making sure you do his work justice?
You might not know Bailey the golden retriever, but you probably do know OF her. She's the dog from one of the famous "I have no idea what I'm doing" Internet memes that you've probably seen floating around.
What you might not know is that Bailey does a lot more than sit in front of the computer looking confused. She does everything from chopping wood, to washing cars, to balancing her checkbook, and her owner (actually, we're not sure who's taking care of who...) is there to take pictures of every adventure.
