ABOUT THIS PHOTO:
"When my rep booked the photo session with Chicago, I knew it would be some what of a challenge in that they were rumored to be very tough with photographers.  I grasped the challenge and had it choreographed in advance with my hand drawn schematics of where each man would be placed. The challenge was to not slight any one of the famous individuals, each of whom had his own notoriety as a great singer or instrumentalist. I wasted no time and did not give them a chance to exercise any undisciplined behavior and shot approximately 200 shots within 30 minutes from beginning to end.  What was a pleasant surprise, they did not want to stop shooting,  so I did a few more shots and told them the session was over. This session turned out to be one of my most successful band sessions I have done." 
Harry Langdon, Jr.
