Heads and Tales

In the window
Blowups of
Mick and Sting
Inviting curb appeal
Luring visitors
Friends and strangers
Passing on by
Curated by Arthur DeBow
Speaking of Michelangelo
Titubating to and fro
Gallery 51 of MCLA
My life on walls
All spread out
Four decades of work
Staggering sweat equity
Pictures at an exhibition
High season in the Berkshires
Evoking audacious past
Prowling panther
Pub crawling
Looking for a fix
Nights in jazz clubs
Lulu White’s with Ron
Carol Channing on stage
Under the fringe
Chef Chandler’s gumbo
Cooking up a storm
Other hipster cats
Now senior citizens
Or dead and gone
Hollywood with Elton John
Concerts on the Common
Close encounters with giants
Armed to the teeth
Shooting the stars
Capturing the immortals
Even Leonard Bernstein
Born a century ago
Agita up the wazzoooo
Just me and Julio
Tiny Paul Simon
Intimate moments
Vivid memories
Shades of icons
Legends then and now
From back in the day
Culled from vast archive
Slides and negatives
Yoko to Julia Childs
Leanne liked Joe Williams
Jose in LA remembered dancing
Martha and the Vandellas
A rare Keith Haring
Who died so young
Ann Hamilton angelic as a nun
Marvin Gaye’s last concert
Scowling Stan Getz
An annoyed Philip Glass
Can’t talk to your camera
Godfather of Soul
Leaning so close
Please Please Please
Poignant Sinatra
When a made man
Threatened to whack me
All spelled out
Forty nifty images
For as many years
Each  shot so vivid
Now just rusty dust
One last furtive grasp
Like a flat rock
Skipped over clear pond
Leaving fading circles
Splish splash head of the class
