Kim and David of Rescripted recently wrote to me and asked if I'd ever heard of Richard C. Bray.
I never had, so looked him up on their website, and discovered a most fascinating figure.
Born into wealth, he became a biochemist at Columbia University.
An obsessive traveller with a 'reclusive disposition'.
Well worth reading more about him.
Anyway, I was very taken with his photos which reveal a New York not completely dissimilar to the one I haunt. The commuters arriving........The scruffy lower east side......
The languid cat, of course, reminds me of Morocco.
This last is almost certainly Coney Island.
