I'm brushing myself down having fallen off the sofa, lol. I did not expect to come across my name in your piece. Thank you for sharing it - very kind of you 🙏
I identify with your ageing concerns Neil, you're about 6 weeks older than me! Feeling and looking younger than our years has to be celebrated I think. Enjoy your birthday tomorrow.
Happy Birthday, Neil! Wishing you joy, good health and of course many more creative and positive energies to fuel you. Thank you for sharing my post about walking at the edge of the pier to your readers. I appreciate it very much.
Great post. Happy birthday! I turned 42, and then 45, just last year. And somehow now I'm 49 which strikes me as an age at which I should stop thinking of myself as "fresh out of college." It's going much too fast.
You've compiled some great links here. The Magic Money Tree project is outstanding work. I'd seen Dina Litovsky's piece and it just struck me as how different it is from my experience, and it's horrifying to consider hers. I don't know how we got here.
Looking forward to perusing the other things you've shared.
A couple of things. First—loving your writing! Second—loving the "what's been happening" and "dispatches" sections.
Third—Gerda Taro WAS Robert Capa! At least for a while. The photographers Endre Friedmann and Gerta Porohylle, early in their careers, decided to hide their Jewish names behind a single identity, "Robert Capa"—they also thought it might be more attractive to the American market. Pretty soon, though, Friedmann too RC, and Gerta took GT, and so they remained.
I recently found out that Capa is buried a scant fifteen minutes from my house, in the hills north of NYC. I haven't made a pilgrimage yet, but will be sure to report on it when I do.
Looking good tho!
Tomorrow is my 40th birthday! HBD 🎉
happy birthday, man!
Happy Birthday Neil!
