This is another portrait of a dear friend of mine. I have been very fortunate in my friendships as most are rather unique characters.
Before becoming an attorney, the Great Gazinov was known as the Mind Reader of Central Park and was also featured in a book of street performers in venice beach. He has performed all over the country and was a regular at the Magic Townhouse in Manhattan’s tony upper east side.
This was shot on 4×5 film and printed in my darkroom. My scanner will not scan 4×5 negatives so you are seeing a scan of the print, which is not nearly as nice as the print itself. One of these days I’ll have to upgrade scanners.
