Bloody well right: Four photos "Of Place," rescued from BSB and now placed in my house.

During the winter of 2013-14, there was a top-notch exhibit at the Carnegie Center for Art and History, which is located across the street from Bank Street Brewhouse.

Of Place at the Carnegie: An "antidote" to the tyranny of our white bread Bicentennial.

Reminder: "Of Place" at the Carnegie, through January 11, 2014.

Subsequently, I purchased four of the black and white photos being shown in the exhibit by David Modica, a photographer I first got to know 35 years ago playing pickup-basketball.

In August of 2014, I got around to mounting these classy silver gelatin photographs at BSB, where they looked just fine in the spaces between the garage doors. Alas, with the remodeling and conversion into a new FOH schemata, they were judged superfluous.

So I said you know what and brought them home.


We hung them earlier tonight in the stairway.


The three portrait-sized ones were grouped together, and the landscape was placed on the left. at the landing.

Of course, neither the wall nor my beard exists any longer.
