new Flickr photo posts-- New York pictures from 1999-2002

I didnt get into digital photography until 2003--- call me a late bloomer, but thats the way it happened. However, i was always a shutterbug, and used a film camera throughout the 4-5yrs of my residence in Brooklyn NY (from 1999-2003). I was looking through some old pictures last night and chose some of my favorite shots to begin with...they're from several live shows i went to in NYC (baaba maal, amina, perry farrell---I put them up on Flickr with a little help from my scanner...there are many more to come-- i have to get a pro account apparently)
something about these old "film" cameras really has a unique character that digital doesnt have... i'm not sure if it's similar to the difference between an LP and a CD but theres something about these old photos that I like... maybe grainy organic photo-anomolies make things more interesting sometimes?

here's the beginning of my retrospective film scans from NY 1999-2002 slideshow on flickr--->link

Los Zafiros

"Los Zafiros formed in the Cuban capital of Havana in 1962. Their music was a mix of doo-wop, ballads, boleros, samba, tumbaos and twists. It was practically doo-wop with their own unique Cuban twist. Today only 2 members are alive, Manuel Galban and Miguel Cancio. Ignacio died in 1981 at 37 from complications of several heart attacks. Kike died at the same age in 1982 from cirrhosis of the liver. El Chino, beset by severe vision, speech and drinking problems, lived alone back in Cayo Hueso until his death on August 8, 1995 at age 56." (from wikipedia)

Las Hermanas Benitez - Cuban go go/soul

Las Hermanas Benítez, fueron un grupo musical cubano de la década de los '60. Estaba integrado por Juanita, Haydee, Petry, Carmen y Beatriz, hijas del ex-ministro cubano de Trabajo, Francisco Benítez. Posiblemente inspiradas en el éxito del Cuarteto d'Aida, comenzaron muy jóvenes con su grupo, llegando a finales de los '50 a la televisión cubana. Viajaron a los Estados Unidos y México, donde aparecieron en la película de Cantinflas "Sube y baja" filmada en 1958. De esa película es la canción "Corazón de melón", tema que las hizo muy conocidas. Siguieron los viajes por América y Europa, dónde aparecieron en una película de Dino de Laurentis, "Yo amo, tú amas". Llegaron a España, y allí el amor acabó con el grupo: Carmen y Beatriz se casaron, mientras que sus hermanas siguieron cantando, pero no por mucho tiempo.
