Our wonderful dog Ace passed away yesterday, Monday September 13, 2021. Although, we have so many photos of him – this photo made by Joe DiMaggio says it all! I can’t compete. He was the best dog ever!
Ace had a huge heart and a wonderful spirit. He was our best friend and we will dearly miss him. As I said when Joe first brought him home – “He’s Better than Diamonds!”
I am teaching a live photography class at Sussex Community College. We are now finished with product photography and working on portraiture. Not easy when everyone is masked.
Thought it would be fun to ask my neighbor, Donna Bates who raises and shows Afghan Hounds, if she would be interested in bringing in her dog Hedley for a sitting with the class. Several years ago I had photographed two of her show dogs in the studio and on location for a few different applications and they worked out great.
It was a fun class!
This photograph was taken at a Candlelight Vigil right after 9/11.
I was urged by my partner Joe DiMaggio to send this photo into our agent. I first hesitated doing so because I figured there were so many photos of this tragic event who needed another. When he finally convinced me to just do it, I was very surprised to receive this note back.
Joanne–
Marcel Saba, VP of Editorial Photography, passed along the great photograph
that you’ve shown to Leslie Hughes in some recent correspondence. I must say that from all the pictures I’ve edited of this tragedy, this quickly rises to the top. As Acting Director of Corbis Sygma USA, I am writing to ask if you would let us syndicate this photograph worldwide.
Again, great work; I’m glad I got to see it!
Sincerely,
Charlie Borst
Acting Director
Corbis Sygma USA
After finishing my usual yoga routine this morning, I checked my e mails. The first e mail I came across was from Jean-Jacques Naudet the Editorial Director of L’oeil de La Photographie, which is a daily journal of International Photography. The Magazine is beautifully done and quite handsome.

A bit of sad news to start out a Monday morning is that Leah Chase passed away yesterday.
Leah was totally dedicated to the restaurant and the community which she was very much a part of. She was considered a central cultural figure in the politics of New Orleans and the national struggle for civil rights. She was also a major promoter of art. During our conversation Joe mentioned that he had just done a cover story on Syvia’s restaurant in Harlem for American Way Magazine and on the owner Sylvia Woods. The two of them were sisters of a kind. Both trend setters and entrepreneurs in the food/restaurant business and in society. One in Harlem and one in New Orleans. Both women will be missed as they played a vital role in bringing people together.

Peter Kaplan JoAnne Kalish & Joe DiMaggio
Our friend photographer Peter B. Kaplan passed away this week. R.I.P. Peter! Peter was a wild and crazy photographer who is best known for his height photography in New York City. He was also a strong advocate of photographer’s rights!
I first met Peter at a New York ASMP meeting and we were friends ever since.
I don’t remember who shot this photo but it was a Stock Market Party and we were all having a really good time.
Actually this is one of the rare occasions that Peter did not have his African Grey Parrot, Kasuku along with him
We will all miss you Peter.
