I have been selling lots of my family portraits on shirts in Key West we’re going to start in New Jersey
Besides teaching Clarence Clemons from Bruce Springsteen to become a photographer I did a bunch of his parties on the Jersey shore 86 and 87 I partied with that maniac we were super buzzed that day
We all know sounded tons of parties in the 30s and 40s he also did a bunch in the 70s I love this negative
My grandfather does have some stories I guess being a New Jersey mob guy rum and gun smuggler out of Cuba let’s throw in owning the original Hemingway boring Key West and then to put the cherry on the cake they made him mayor of Key West I was fortunate to work for him in his night club and be a part time bodyguard I got my stories to
Sometimes my passion for the image overrides my fear like this photo right here crazy giant homeless man walking through the subway car screaming he needs money I take the photo he starts screaming at me he jumped to DEFCON 5 In four seconds I was lucky this time I have been attacked before
I threw many parties when I worked for Mentertainment Magazine this was Heartbreakers Go Go club The jersey shore 1989 about 30 girls would show up for a free tryouts I would give away free T-shirts and the bar was supplying great Jersey pizza I took all the photos sold them and ad And I was the MC
I’m sure in great uncle Sal spare time he did a lot of these portraits of New York 34th St. late 50s I have about 300 original prints

One of Sals portraits world of mirth 1949 not a midget a dwarf
