Sylvia Plachy

The other night I got a chance to work a book lecture and signing at the public library. Sylvia Plachy was the artist. One of the sweetest ladies you will ever meet. She is so down to earth and friendly. She's one of those folks you could just sit with and talk to for hours. Sylvia was the first photographer ever to be commissioned by The New Yorker for its Going About Town section or GOAT. She as has also worked for The Village Voice (for 30 yrs!) and The New York Magazine. There were over 100 people in attendance. We sold out of books.

Here is a picture of her and her son. You might recognize him from his movie career....











This is Esther. She also worked the lecture. She is lots of fun! We grabbed a bite to eat after and went to sit in Bryant Park. As it should happen, HBO was starting its movie in the park night. Fail Safe was the first movie. We stayed and watch a bit before we parted our separate ways. I'm sad that Ester will be leaving at the end of the month. She starts at Yale in the fall.
