In this continuing project of thinning out my files I get
upset when I remember some picture \may
have taken and then I cannot find it.
This one is different. I have no memory of having taken the
photograph. Since my names is there to credit it, I know I took it at the nice
bookstore on 4th Avenue called The Mystery Merchant. I was assigned
by what I thought was a boring publication, Quill & Quire. I was proven
wrong as I was given ample opportunity to do as I pleased. And this I did.
For another Quill & Quire job I photographed the local
poet Michael Turner in the best room of the seedy Marble Arch Hotel. I arranged
for a lovely woman to pose behind him on the bed. I received a phone call from
the editor lauding me for the fact for the first time in his memory he had
received many calls from irate readers complaining of the sexist photograph.
As for the photograph of Noah Stewart I have nothing under
Stewart, Mystery Merchant, Quill & Quire or bookstores. It is lost.
