“My Day with Marilyn” Q&A – Pt. 1

In 1952 my father was a foot away and photographed Marilyn Monroe. And as many of us with busy lives, we sometimes lose track of a priceless photo. Hear the story from the Q&A for “My Day with Marilyn”.

Ever LOST the Photo of a Lifetime?

Have you ever lost the photo of a lifetime? Who hasn’t, right? I believe that behind every photo is a great story. For 72 years my Pop couldn’t find the photos he took of Marilyn Monroe.

Last year he asked me, “Sweetheart, I’d love it if you could find my Marilyn photos.” Who can say “no” to that ..? So here’s a glimpse of my search through storage bays and countless boxes to see if I can find and preserve his photos of a lifetime … and RKVIST can do the same for you and your photos of a lifetime.
