Bus ride into mid-town with the OG Historical Society to see a show: “Nice Work if you can get it.” Here are Grovers Kathy, Sue, and Eileen at 6:35 pm on Sept. 20, 2012.   ©

If  you scroll down you will find a photo of the Statue of Liberty in Times Square.  Some of you were trying to guess the date of photo since I didn’t remember.

Dating photographs is a tradition in the world of fine art photography  (and absolutely necessary in the world of photojournalism.)

So, urged on by those Blogfinger researchers,  I went back into my files and, to my surprise, quickly found the file. The image was taken on September 20, 2012, at about 4:00 pm.  I also found a few other photos from around the same time.

Curiously, at least from my point of view, I discovered that the photos were black and white, and color. I usually don’t mix those styles, because, at least for me, it makes me a little crazy as I try to pre-visualize an image. I once told my theory to a professional photographer from the National Geographic, but  his reaction was,  “”Ridiculous.”  Well, easy for him to say since he shoots everything in color.

From the show “Nice Work if you can Get It”  OGrover wins.  It is Matthew Broderick who is indeed married to Sarah Jessica Parker.  If I were a woman, I would want to be married to a Broadway star. Of course, she’s not chopped liver either.   (Here is a link to our article on the chopped liver reference:)
