Bruce,
ReplyDeleteThe attention you've paid to Clarence White and other tremendous photographers with Newark connections is quite impressive. As are your own cemetery photos.
White was already a talent from the distant past when I wrote about him for The Advocate over 35 years ago. Long gone, but far from forgotten.
Thanks for keeping such pioneers in photography alive in an age in which I can take your photo with a click of my phone---and then show the world.
Your website is entertaining, and yes, it does bring back memories from my beginning days in Newark as a journalist and writer. I worked with a couple of photographers who are featured on your Newark Tea Party site; my most vivid photo memory of John Allee was John mashing the accelerator of his Dodge Charger to the floor and not letting it up from 1971 to 1973, with a hell-be-damned determination to get his camera to the news story, no matter what.
By the way, I'm 250 miles away in Louisville, but it sure would be nice to have a photo of my old house on 21st Street...
Keep up the great work!
