Norman Rockwell Photographer?

Here is the are two links to an article in Vanity Fair this month. about Norman Rockwell and his extensive use of Photography to plan and compose his illustrations.  The photos stand on their own in part because of what he brought to the process of casting, staging and lighting.  It's also nice to see how he changes them as he worked through the process of his illustrations.
