ist's Notes & Thoughts about "The Joke."
s re-image is a combination of two very disparate black and white pictures by otographer Marjory Collins. The first (upper right) shows a woman in a pew at a dnight mass at St. Dominick's church on Sullivan Street in lower Manhattan. The ture was taken in December, 1942. What peaked my interest was her dour pression and her no-nonsense demeanor. The second picture (bottom right) was t of a kosher wine merchant on the Lower East Side passing the time with a local bbi. e re-imaged picture was quite a bit different from either of the original images. ting the two people together and placing them in a totally different setting led me have some rather odd interpretations. I'll leave the rest up to the viewers to erpret and add their own stories.
