An icon whose time is no longer on his side.

I came across this advertisement in Architectural Digest and was struck by the beauty of the photograph and its many incongruities. A lovely Annie Leibovitz photograph.

Carefully posed, not a cigarette in sight, the ravages of time and tide speak loudly on Keith Richards’s wonderful face. Even his Vuitton guitar case (!) has seen some miles. A fabulous portrait – both classical and poignant – of one of our greatest musicians.
