Now that the paroxysm of passion surrounding the release of Leonard Cohen's Old Ideas album has subsided to a constant frenzy, the DrHGuy site can, on hopes, return to the use of its ongoing classification scheme. And, what better place to begin than with the cover art of Old Ideas itself, which certainly qualifies for entry into The Shades Of Leonard Cohen.

A gallery comprising all items previously published in the photo series, Shades of Leonard Cohen, can be viewed at Collected Shades Of Leonard Cohen.

Credit Due Department: Thanks to the ever-vigilant Rike for correctly pointing out that the cover art meets the sunglasses criterion.  The photo for the Old Ideas cover was taken by Kezban Özcan with Photoshop editing by L. Cohen.
