In 1927 my great uncle Sal was 16 years old he was already a accomplished piano player and painter and was making a lot of bizarre crazy masks this was all at the age of 16 he wasn’t in school anymore he was performing at different clubs in New Jersey playing the piano A Cruise ship came in to New York and Sal wanted to photograph it his old art teacher Miss Wolf gave him a camera for his 16th birthday this is one of the images he took in 1927 on that ship in Port here is the bizarre thing when I was transferred to public school from Catholic school in 1964 I got to meet my new art teacher she was an old lady her name was Miss Wolf she remembered my last name right away and asked me how Sal was what a small world
