My Past

I’ve Got The 1953 Norman Rockwell Blues Again, Mama!

At home at 5423 Snyder Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

That’s my Dad, me, my Mom, and brother Lenny in what to me looks like 1953. This was before children learned to look at cameras and smile while having their picture taken. When I look at this image almost 70 years later I like to think that whoever took this shot knew how to stage people and things. My folks look happy, and probably were. My brother and I look interested. I’d also like to think that there’s some truth in this shot.
