Graig: I had a look at your website. You got serious skills. I particularly like the Larsen painting. I sat in that ballyard at least fifty times from 1956 to 1961 when I was growing up around NYC. My memories have been corrupted after a fashion by all the black and white photography I have seen in the interim but the warm October glow and afternoon shadows that you have depicted, that you have nailed, bring it all back in dreamy color. Thanks from an old man. Also think The Beast Bangs Gomez, Yanks is brilliant. You could hate baseball and still love that picture.




Here are some random photos that I have found on the Web. If any of these might be useful to you let me know and I can e-mail you larger files.
