Paige Pinnell 1975

"Paige Pinnell" is a black and white photographic work from 1975 by Mike Mandel. The image, printed on a small sheet of paper, depicts a man with long hair and a baseball cap, in a relaxed posture, wearing a baseball glove and walking toward the viewer. The image resembles a baseball card, highlighting the artist’s interest in everyday life and the culture of the 1970s. The photograph is a part of Mandel’s larger project, "The People's Portfolio," which used found photographs and manipulated them to create a unique and often humorous commentary on contemporary society.
