Tom Palumbo: Fotos aus Pariser Cafés und dem Nachtleben der Stadt von 1962.

.

“This portfolio is just a sampling of my work. It’s not just a chronicle of intriguing faces and settings — the images in part reflect the photography of the 1950s and 60s when content, space and scale coalesced the result could be quite mythic.

Its a personal odyssey as well. There’s a sun-drenched street in Molfetta, Italy, where I was born; there’s a poignant blurred image of my wife and baby son Leo; there are studies of places I’ve traveled to over the years - Rome, Port-au-Prince and Naples.

Then there’s the photograph of a stable in Athens, Georgia. This was one of the pictures that intrigued Edward Steichen who had just become the director of photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He sent it, along with others, to art director Alexey Brodovitch at Harper’s Bazaar.

That’s how I got my start. I would shoot for Bazaar for six years, and for Vogue, and for many other publications. What you see here is the tip of the iceberg in an archiving project that has been going on for the past two years through a little company called Wonderbred. Check out my web site for more images.“
