Stretches

Congratulations to Bryan Wolf, the winner of last week's quiz. Mr. Wolf connected Mary Ellen Mark and Thomas Jefferson in two steps using the following photos:

Toni Morrison, Manhattan, 1988, by Mary Ellen Mark
Thomas Jefferson by Charles Bird King (1785-1862), after Gilbert Stuart, Oil on panel, 1836
Yeah, I know it's kind of a stretch. But I think the link is strong enough to qualify. Maybe it's the bleached out cheeks. Or maybe it's that Bryan was the only person to respond to the quiz.

I had a few alternative versions in mind. Here's one:
