Dorothy Norman recovering from broken leg, her house Easthampton July 7, 1985 - we'd met in late 1950s, I'd known her as editor of Civil-libertarian 1930s Twice a Year journal - same decade she'd been Alfred Stieglitz’s love, he'd photographed her hands in this mudra 1932.

Robert Frank & his car rented for him by Atlantic Center For Arts where we taught together three weeks with jazz drum genius Elvin Jones. We’d come to town New Smyrna Beach on errands, he showed me how to use his polaroid 195 that gives negative, but when we washed it in his plastic container of water, car-heat-cooked in Florida mid-day sun, the emulsion cracked, dissolved—this copy print from original is o.k. to catch his smile at my amateur focus, June 1984.
