Photography Workshop
New York was a photojournalism mecca in the 1950s, and Peter Martin's "studio 61" at 286 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, New York, was a gathering place for many photographers at that time.[citation needed] Many contributed to the Photography Workshop publication, which was devoted to the photographer's work, techniques, equipment and art.

For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living.
For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations.
I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it.
In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK. My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
