And now for a mystery. The pics quoted below are from the Christina Lee thread where there are also more from this set. These are marked as being from DDG (J. Stephen Hicks) studios and are copyrighted 1999. If we look at the previous post on page 6 we see Larry was offering slides from this same shoot at least as early as 1991.

Now here is a slide set from this shoot. So the question is which came first, the Larry Caye chicken or the J. Stephen Hicks egg? We believe TLI folded in 1997 so it seems reasonable Hicks may have bought the rights to some of Caye's material. If you can shed any light on this by all means please speak up.

Edit: It has since become evident Larry did sometimes purchase material, or the rights to market it, from other photographers.
