Walter Iooss' Sports Photos

Lance Armstrong, 2005
"I had a few minutes to talk to Lance about this shoot the night before we were scheduled to make it," says Iooss. "I told him that I wanted to do a motorcycle, not a bicycle and that he should wear a leather jacket if he had one. He brought the jacket, which was great, but his shoes were all wrong, so I lent him my Gucci boots. When the shoot was over, he asked me if I he could keep them. I said no."
