How sad , Rest in peace

Marc grew up a Mets fan.

The two times I went to a game at Shea with DGW, he recognized Marc. Apparently, they both had the same instinct for finding an interesting perspective, and would end up in the same perch.

I first met Marc during fireworks night at Shea in 1990. It was the first night I tried shooting the fireworks there, and he was really helpful. His shot was of course on the yearbook cover the next season.

Not to jump at a terribly tragic opening, but I hope they have the good sense to offer you the gig.

Nice tribute

They showed this on the big screen last night along with galleries of his work between innings and after Geico stolen-base challenges if time allowed.

I should say Marc and I disagree on the greatness of his Seaver-Piazza picture. Not that the image isn't good but I have only bad memories of that day and found their roles in walking to the new stadium together cheesy

So do I, but it would be a heckuva daily commute from Connecticut, where he does most of his work.

Ron and Gary commute from Connecticut.

[MFS62]

DGW does most of his work closer to central and southern Connecticut* than where they live (I'm guessing between Greenwich and Westport in Fairfield County), but I may be wrong.

* = He photographs a lot of CIAC sports.

For years I commuted from Fairfield County (Soupcan, MFS62 and I were neighbors, I think) to within spitting distance of Shea. Then I got divorced and moved to Queens, only to have my job shifted to Staten Island. So I traded a 90-minute 55 mile commute, for a 90 minute 30 mile commute. Such is life.

[Edgy MD]

I love my home, but my wife and I have an understanding. If I get a gig with the Mets, I go where I gotta.

Very nice tribute
