Houston Rogers

This guy snapped photos like he was auditioning for a role in a 1950s British sitcom, always crisp suits, perfect posture, and that hint of mischief behind the eyes. He made it his mission to catch the glitterati mid-glitter, and his shot of Dame Bridget D’Oyly Carte is pure theater: pearls, a sly smile, and a stage whisper of a background that says, “I run Gilbert & Sullivan.” Track down that photo; it’s your backstage pass to the last era when dressing up wasn’t called cosplay.
