A few scenes, mostly on or near the old farm home; trees as seen from the front yard.

Iowa – Fall 1974: The Buick
Looks like today I have come upon old negatives from one of my trips to the old Iowa farm homestead. And let’s start with these long-lost images of my brother’s old Buick. This may have been his very first car; he must have had it in the late 50s or very early 60s. So on this 1974 visit home, I find the Buick’s carcass literally out in the pasture. I see that it has 1965 Iowa plates, but I am sure that it met its demise well before that; I will have to check with Dennis on the details of the car’s provenance and distinguished history.

New York – November 1974: And Some More
During these visits, a typical day might involve joining Dennis in the early morning to walk Gabrielle to school (kindergarten). We would walk and/or ride bus or subway until school was over, seeking out bookstores and museums and galleries and libraries. And grabbing a quick deli lunch. Then it was a return to the apartment, where Dennis would probably write for the next many hours and I would hit the streets again solo for more exploration and photography. During the week, Gabrielle’s mom would be at work doing lawyer things, but all of us would go exploring on the weekend, often in Central Park and wherever playgrounds could be found.
And for more of Gabrielle, see the special collection (linked in the left side panel).
