About The Artwork

On a trek to Casablanca years ago now, my wife and I wandered from our hotel near the old Medina and soon found ourselves along the seawall bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Waves were crashing and people, almost all men, were milling about -- walking, playing soccer, soaking in the sun -- and soon we found these two men fishing: the old man, with a simple pole; the other sitting beside him, watching. They were eager to show us their catch: two or three small fish in an old, bent aluminum can. I loved the earthy simplicity of this shot, them perched a top this high wall, the raging Atlantic below, apartments and the littered wall stretched out behind -- all, with that huge car ad painted on the side of the otherwise stark building. In recent weeks, as I thought about offering photos for print, this image was one that readily sprung to mind and I did test prints on a host of papers, deciding in the end to offer it on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta for how it captured the heat and rawness of the day. NOTE: The photo imprint will be 15.6 x 8 but the overall photo with border is 17.1 x 9.6

I'm a national award-winning journalist and nine-time Pulitzer nominee who's made hundreds of TV and radio appearances, including NPR and Good Morning America. Author of Swee'pea [Simon & Schuster / Atria], a critically acclaimed book centered around New York City playground basketball legend Lloyd (Swee'pea) Daniels, I've been featured in several documentary films -- including the Emmy Award-winning ESPN 30-for-30 Big Shot. While I've worked primarily as a sports reporter, news reporter, columnist and investigative journalist, I've also done travel writing and photography during a four-decade career at a major New York daily paper, and I'm currently shopping my first novel. This marks my first foray into selling my fine art photography . . . P.S. I've noticed that when it comes to calling up full screen versions of some photos they appear to lack clarity. PLEASE use the "Original" file -- especially, when you're looking at Open Edition prints -- because those files appear to be proper large-scale renditions. Hoping this gets rectified . . .
