One of my favorite original negatives and photo for many reasons, sometime a photo can tell 1000 stories, This one right here 5000 stores first of all the year 1942 its the beginning of World War II that’s my father and his little sister Tonia 78 years ago walking down the street The street there is Elizabeth Avenue The big building in the background is the union county courthouse I know that place a little too well, if you look on the far right on this image you’ll see a barbershop and a gangster type looking guy in front, that barbershop was actually One of the biggest boogie joints In New Jersey Henny Lasals Great uncle Lou worked there as a barber and bedding consultant ha ha and right down the street was one of great uncle Sal’s photo mask studios it was hidden from the public because the police were not fond of great uncle Sal being gay and making Bazaar masks and the hypnotizing of people an reading there minds didn’t help oh one more thing that camera shop on the right upstairs Sal got all his printing paper, chemicals an film, Captain Tony and Sal were silent partners in the business, This is a great example how one photo could tell a story
