Jon Crispin's Notebook

Big Pete in NYC

Posted in People, Uncategorized by joncrispin on 22/04/2010

Peter Carroll and I have been working together on and off for a very long time.  He is always willing to stand around while I take goofy photographs.  We are in New York for a couple of days and just after this we found an amazing falafel stand for lunch.  What a sport!

Jack Gilbert

Another amazing person I photographed for Poets & Writers was Jack Gilbert.  He grew up in Pittsburgh so we talked alot about Western Pennsylvania.  Along with Franz Wright, he was one of the most interesting and provocative people I have ever spent time with.  He talked about love, art, and success and told me wild stories about his life.
