Photo Class

In the 1980s I took a photo class with my friend and teacher, Susan Kleckner. I have destroyed most of the pictures I took from her roll-a-day class because they formed a diary that I didn't want anyone to read. I didn't even want to read it. I have come so far that it is no longer relevant to my life. True, I those diaries record the basis for what came after but as a record it was no longer of any use. I had to clean out my mother's papers and found things that I wish I never knew. I didn't want that for my heirs.

At any rate, here's what's left of the work from my photography classes. It's mostly innocuous stuff, but still, it records New York City from a time that I hope we never go back to...the crime riddled 1980s.
