The Photography
Of
Laura Deckelman

To the many of you who have asked me for a photograph that I might have of Laura’s, here are the ones that she shared with me so I could make my little film for her and Paul. I hope you all enjoy her work. May each of you who knew her and loved her and for the many who are just finding her work now, send a prayer to her and Paul. “May Their Memory Be a Blessing.”

The Photography Of Laura Deckelman From the Rockaways to The Bungalows, to Coney Island and all her Wonderful photographs of Seagulls and Seals and the beautiful sea on the Rockaway Ferry. I made for Laura and Paul in 2014. Laura and Paul had been taking photographs of streets in Edgemere. We had been talking after their walk around where my grandfathers house was on Beach 38th street. She took photographs where the house had been. She sent me photographs that she liked and I picked out ones that I liked and I began one of my first little films. Laura shared the photos with me that she enjoyed. There is also a blog post from that time in 2014 that I have shared. Many of her photographs are there. They are together. It was done in 2014 for Laura. May god bless their memory. To the few who feel I go too fast, this is a little moving picture. This is why I move the photographs at the speed I do. If you want to study a photograph, stop the film. This is a moment in time meant for you to relax and go for the ride. You see what you see and you feel what you feel. Its a little movie trying to take you somewhere else. Relax and let me take you there. To really get anywhere one must let go. Remember you can see all YouTube videos on your TV which makes them so much larger to be able to see.

Joseph Pulitzer spoke of “fake news” over 100 years ago and fought the dangers that the suppression of news had for a democracy long before our present threats to press freedom. 

Joseph Pulitzer was born to a wealthy family of Magyar-Jewish origin in Mako, Hungary on April 10, 1847. The elder Pulitzer (a grain merchant) retired in Budapest and Joseph grew up and was educated there in private schools and by tutors.

From The official Pulitzer website https://www.pulitzer.org/page/biography-joseph-pulitzer:

He was born as Pulitzer József (name order by Hungarian custom) in Makó, about 200 km south-east of Budapest in Hungary, the son of Elize (Berger) and Fülöp Pulitzer.^[3] The Pulitzers were among several Jewish families living in the area and had established a reputation as merchants and shopkeepers. Joseph’s father was a respected businessman, regarded as the second of the “foremost merchants” of Makó. Their ancestors emigrated from Moravia to Hungary at the end of the 18th century.
