Rizzuto, Angelo, 1906-1967, photographer

https://www.loc.gov/item/2021636510/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_Rizzuto

Every day at 2 p.m. between May 1952 and June 1964, Rizzuto would venture out with a camera to record images for what was to be a vast encyclopedic kaleidoscope of Manhattan, a book to be called Little Old New York.

Rizzuto photographed New York's inhabitants and ended every roll of film with a portrait of himself. His images include cityscapes, compassionate photographs of children and confrontational pictures of angry women, along with anguished self-portraits.

Before he died, knowing that he would not live to see his intention realized, Rizzuto bequeathed 60,000 photographs and $50,000 to the Library of Congress, where they languished until photo historian Michael Lesy discovered and compiled them into book form entitled Angel’s World: The New York Photographs of Angelo Rizzuto.

Baseball on the Radio

 

Playoff baseball. One game NL Wild Card Cardinals at Dodgers. I'm wondering how old the batteries are in the CCrane radio. KMOX is a clear channel and comes in well in South Louisiana but not so great in the city and even less great in my house. Waiting for the sun to go down so I can fine tune the best spot. 7:10 Central start and the game is on TBS.
