Always remembered

It was about 6 a,m, in Calcutta, India when I waited behind an undyed muslim curtain. Peeping my camera through its side panel, i shot this photo of Mother Theresa talking to and praying with her volunteer nuns over a sea of their heads. The young and eager nuns were about to start their long day caring for orphans and the dieing, after having pounded the bed sheets clean as they sang hymns an hour before her arrival.

There were a couple of novice volunteers fresh from Galway, Ireland who were with me, waiting to meet with her.

Christopher Reeve at Softball Game

I photographed Chris Reeve running with the sun creating a halo around his head in the 1970's at a softball game in Easthampton

kurt vonnegut

I photographed Kurt Vonnegut at a PEN Conference circa 1970's

This photo was published in New York Magazine. When I told him about an outrageously contrived harrassment i was experiencing, he asked me if i thought about having my harrassers assassinated. i laughed in amazement at his audacious remark. "After all," he said "they deserve it."
