Another Rehearselling: Morelli's, 1976


Columbia U. "Photo Call" 1976


Macedonia, 1979


First Photos, 1975


So, if memory and the notes on this particular envelope serve, it was somewhere around the beginning of 1975 that George asked me to shoot pictures at a rehearsal. There’s a story behind that that’ll probably show up here later. Anyway, this was at Morelli’s and he brought along several trunks. Turned out that this was the very first time that anyone had seen the Croatian Costumes. In this shot, George is looking over the women after they have tried them on. Again, for the first time.
It is one of George’s favorite shots of the troupe. Mine too.
Figured this was a good way to kick off things here…………….More photos to come.

Welcome!

This blog was born of a trip to visit George Tomov on Tuesday, July 29.  Maury, Marian E. and I were trying to think of a better way to communicate about George -- not just his day-to-day condition, but stories and memories about this man who has given us so much over the years. When Maury reminded us that George had taught us "nema problema" -- no problem is insurmountable -- the name for the blog was obvious.

For now the postings will be a bare framework, to be fleshed out by your comments.  Please share your thoughts, memories, and wishes for George. 

Ajde!
