Nope - didn't give it a thought at all- This was a locationI walkedby
and still walk by virtually every day... the reason I took this
particular shot was simply the joke of the two film titles paired as a
double feature. (not that you were not aware of that either :-))
Not to over post mortem this, but I pulled out the contact sheet to see
if it was a single frame and it was. all the photos on the
contactsheet before it were photos of my mother in my apt - she had just
turned 80 - I think her trip to stay with me was her
birthday present to herself. the frame after the marquee shot was a
photo of a very empty 57th St subway station.
I'm guessing I took it when my mom was still here and I stopped only
long enough as we were walking to a train to grab it in
case I didn't remember to do it later.

Wow, great result! Congratulations.
I love your shots from the 'hood, they're just dripping with the sense of being
there.
The great(est) thing about you shot of the cinema is the guy walking out of the
frame on the left - I imagine you're aware of this, but for the sake of people
who may not be, he could almost be Truffaut, and Truffaut was the man who loved
women.

I've lived in the East Village since 1959, with a brief hiatus 1960 to 63 in
Maine -
Lot of my early photos were taken in the 'hood and because an acquaintance
saw a copy of my calendar "Back in the Day" I did a couple of years agoone
thing lead to another
and Ada contacted me for a photo... (yes, she paid me.. what seems like 10
years ago but was actually maybe two years)
This is the shot in the book 0( it is in Sign Language, too.)

Actually on Second avenue, just off St. Marks.
Got my comp copy and thank you from Ada a couple of days ago - the book launch
is Nov 2 at Copper Union's great hall.
I'm going despite it not being my sortof thing.. and hoping I can squeeze into
an outfit I bought in the sixties froma
store on St. Marks... Kristina Gorby's. (mentioned in the book) Diet commences
tomorrow - I needed to do that anyway!
With a little luck , Kristina might be at the book launch...
Idived intothe book starting in the chapters when I moved here... had no idea
when she bought the photo from me
that this would turn into something major - I might have pushed some more
choices on her but it was neathaving
been found.
A bit of good news in the middle of a dismal ebay scene. 65 listings -
nooffers or bids. :-( apparently I aint'the only one.
