the charlie and robert show

Robert Frank recently spoke at Lincoln Center with Charlie LeDuff. Seems like some people do not cotton to LeDuff. Too bad for them. I am really not sure what they want. My guess is that this is who Robert Frank wanted. I am glad for it. If it had been tight lipped softball lobber of an interviewer who knows what little would have come from it. I am a Charlie LeDuff fan, so know that. His piece about Frank was amazing. The guy can write the snot out of anything. Here is his favorite image from the book The Americans.

Here is Pull My Donkey.

And now Pull My Daisy.

Intercourse Coach Shop

This past weekend my grandparents property in Churchtown, Penn., was auctioned off. Pop had a sewing machine repair business and had a shop next to the house. He built the house in 1938. I am not sure when the shop was built. I might have been to the Intercourse Coach Shop as a kid when I went with him on his rounds to the Amish and Mennonite homes and businesses. I am thinking about trying to put together a multimedia piece from the sale. If I do, I will post a link.
