Frank,
Thank you, a big thank you for taking the time to come to the library and presenting a really terrific program. Your program was like a love letter, incredibly tender and thoughtful and an homage to the process of loss and decay. Through photographs you reveal the beauty to what some would consider the detritus of an urban landscape, instead lush and subtle images come from your hand and eye. There is so much to the city we don’t know and through you and others you bring a heightened appreciation. Last night’s presentation was a real treat. I enjoyed your discussion on of how the photographs connected to your health, your life, even your mother. Looking through the pages of your book was such a pleasure, hearing you in person was extra special. I am so so happy I just by chance heard you on WNYC many months ago and the library was so lucky to have you present. Many many thanks for a great night.
Take care,
Cynthia Chaldekas, Senior Librarian

Thank you Cynthia for asking me to speak at NYPL. I was truly honored. Thank you everyone for coming out on the hottest day of the year and making it such a successful evening! Best, Frank

As the facade of 17 East 13th St. gets stripped away for a renovation, this antique sign has been revealed. I fear it will soon head for the dumpster, but it’s nice to see. The other fading sign on the building, Erskine Press, may survive. I hope. – Don Willmott
