In this book, he develops the environmental portrait to the level of art, always showing his subjects in their natural setting, in a circumstance synonymous with their station in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAarons documented a particular world that has vanished. A Place in the Sun is that special glimpse of privilege under a bright and beaming sky, whether on sandy shore, snowy slope, or elegant home where cares are few. Through 250 stunning color pictures, Aarons provides a veritable Who’s Who of high society:\u003cbr\u003e * Aristotle Onassis with his first wife, Tina, and their children\u003cbr\u003e * C. Z.
