Elmer Batters spent a lifetime looking through a viewfinder at women's legs and feet. Schooled on the classic Elvgren pin-up art of World War II, Elmer began photographing live models in the late 1940's in sunny Los Angeles, California. Unlike his peers, Batters wasn't breast-obsessed. His vision began at the "tips of the toes" and ran to the "top of the hose". The calf, a woman's high arch, flexible toes, and a well-rounded heel were essential elements in an Elmer Batters photograph. Text and picture extracted from "Elmer Batters", Benedikt Taschen Staff, 1996.
