one of his first sessions for headshots (1981-82??)
this page includes some of the photos I found "by accident" in Waguih's 80th street apartment (the story of this is truly amazing) including my only photos of Salwa
I wish I had had the time to look through all of his files
alas
not
see you all on the 12th, this year, every year
and Happy Thanksgiving
