This is the home of a large collection of photos of La Salle Academy, located on Second Street in New York City. They document a period roughly from 1968 to 1973. I extend belated thanks to the La Salle students who helped in shooting the thousands of frames making up this collection -- Marc Neal, Mike Hazard, Andres Valdespino, Louis Gomez, Jose Ballester, Dennis Doherty, Willie Mason and others whose names my enfeebled brain is no longer able to recall. (Incidentally, I graduated from Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in 1960.) Photos from the La Salle Academy collection are being added regularly.
Please leave comments -- I live for comments! If you leave your e-mail address in the comments, I'll get back to you.
One of the features of this website is
the ability to download full-size images. Most are around 5 megapixels.
You can also order prints -- look for where it says "Buy" above the image. Prints are offered at cost, of course -- I don't make any money doing this, nor do I want to. In fact, I squander my substance on film-scanners and imaging software. But that's what I like to do. Incidentally, for
really cheap prints, download the original full-size photos and upload them to
Fotki.com for printing.
The photographer no longer looks like the photo shown here, which was taken in 1968. He currently looks more like Sydney Greenstreet or Dan Seymour.
In addition to the La Salle photographs, I'm posting others of possible interest to friends and associates (family, Ridgewood, New York City, etc.).
I can be contacted at "pcullinan", followed by an at-sign, followed by "verizon.net". I can be reached by phone at 718-366-4873.
Live Jesus in our Hearts! Forever!
