Hi Captain Charlie, It is nice to see you here. Lots of the backstory that you are interested in is in the introduction of The Art of Bird Photography. You can order a copy here. In addition, there have been blog posts on my Dad and my Mom, both gone now. The story of how I kept control is only told on IPTs to folks who swear secrecy.

I did not know from birds until I was about 30. I will say this: Juniors Restaurant on Dekalb and Flatbush and Lundy Brothers in Sheepshead Bay. My great sports loves were our E38th street version of slapball, stickball against a handball wall with the strike zone in chalk, then bowling, three-man basketball, golf — I got to be pretty good at that, and beach football in college. I continued playing basketball well into my 30s.

with love, artie

BE NICE HAVE A LITTLE OF YOUR BACKGROUND AND GROWING UP IN NYC BUILT INTO THE BLOG. DID YOU START OUT PHOTO-ING BIRDS ON THE ROOFTOP OR IN CENTRAL PARK. DID YOU OWN A CAR. HOW DID YOU HANDLE THOSE UNRULLY KIDS(?) THAT YOU TAUGHT?
THINKING OF MY OWN TRIPS TO NYC (1962 ERA) – – BROOKLYN NAVY YARD, JACK FROST SUGAR PLANT, EASY RIVER; “SS TRANSCARIBBEAN” – AND AMERICAN EXPORT LINE TERMINAL HOBOKEN,NJ “SS EXCHEQUER” AND THE CLAM BROTH RESTAURANT HOBOKEN, IT MUST HAVE BEEN EXCITING/MYSTERIOUS GROWING UP IN NYC. LET US HEAR SOME OF YOUR PAST HISTORY TO GO WITH THE CAMERA FEAST OF BIRDS – PARAGRAPH HERE AND THERE?
