Friday night we went to the famous Lenox Lounge in Harlem. I was expecting it to be a kind of Disney-Land tourist expeirience, like a Hard-rock Cafe for Jazz. It wasn't.I couldn't even tell which table was Billy Holiday's favorite. Apparently Malcom X also frequented the place, and it's a little famous for being in the Spike Lee movie. I don't recall exactly which scene, though I'll be watching it aain soon if only to say "I've been there!".
The antique looking camera is a thirty-year old instant camera belonging to an old photogropher who was taking pictures of the guests for a couple bucks. When he saw my camera I somehow became his assistant, and had to help him "develope" his photos half the night... He said he had been doing that for thirty years. I wonder if he's got photos of John Coltrane or Miles Davis somewhere in that bag of his too.
Nice photo's! Someday, I wil go to america as well.. :)
