Please read this carefully I just took a picture of this original large 8 x 10 negative it was done of my great uncle Sal in 1928 he was 17 years old back then just got out of Rahway State prison for arm robbery he was innocent Ofcourse this was his first real professional promo picture done in New York City there has been hundreds of photos taken of him and stories written you see he was the worlds youngest mind reader and played in clubs all over the country while he was playing the piano a very unique act you could see all these published stories and advertisements on this site Anyway this category that you’re on right now has over 400 spectacular images that Sal has taken and myself even Captain Tony took a lot of great photos I worked on this for the last two years putting all the stories with the photos take your time and follow the families adventures As far back as the late 20s till present most of these images are going to be in the book, A comedic look Add a sexually driv

In 1989 this wacky family is in full party mode Sal myself even my dad and then to put the cherry on the cake they elect my grandfather as the mayor of Key West that changed all the rules My dad got all these great contracts in Key West I started coming down with all my friends to party and do some incredible Tortuga trips great fishing trips I was also a famous nude photographer in New York City at that time and Sal just hosted 20 20 with Dan Rather and CBS They were the good times

My great uncle Sal had many photography mask studios as far back as a late 20s through his death in 1995 he always had one in New York City even while he had another studio above his brothers bar in Key West Captain Tony’s And those New Jersey studios were pretty wild from what I heard he photographed a lot of famous people before they were famous I Gene Hackman, James Earl Jones Burrell Ives Ed Asner Frances Sternhagen a lot of those extras in bonanza outer limits The list goes on and on and I have all the negatives love this picture of Gean Hackman he just arrived to New York City I think late 50s

In my 42 years of being a publisher Photographer I do hold some world records one of them is having a New York image bank with 65,000 different people on it that I shot in 30 years and i actually edited them out of 300,000 they are all on digital chips and negatives it’s still in our project in the works that could be a world record I have not yet met any photographer to match my numbers One of my other claims to fame Is the 1200 exotic dancers I published in a three-year period also convincing 1700 girls to sign a release here’s a couple of those girls now

This is an original slide that Sal Took the year 1969 since my grandfather’s bar was on a side street off of the main drag Duval in Key West he needed something for the people to see as they walk down the main drag and looked out his street Sal painted a sign and my grandfather took the giant fish off his car that he use for advertising for his boat the city gave my grandfather a very hard time but as usual the captain one, But it changed the law for everybody elseBut when you could put aside extenze go on the sidewalk if you walk through Key West today my grandfathers bar has the only sign like that
