LANI CARLSON
Lani Carlson was a sound engineer working for Capitol Records and he did a lot of live events. He and his business partner went to this event to set up the sound, and afterwards he left and came back with his camera and a press pass that his friend working for the Chicago Tribune gave him. He was able to get exclusive access to Monroe for a half hour by claiming he worked for the Chicago Tribune and needed to get the photos onto the AP wire, even though there were about 15 other well-known photographers waiting to take pictures of her. He developed the photos and then they sat in a shoe box until 2010. This photo was taken with a 3D camera.
