“My picture, Fifth Avenue, Winter is the result of a three hours' stand during a fierce snow-storm on February 22nd 1893, awaiting the proper moment. My patience was duly rewarded.

“I like to go on stage with a variety, with some stuff that's been around for a handful of years, some stuff from the last year, some stuff is from last week, and some stuff is brand spanking new.

The more virgin the snow, the more fun it is to run on.” YearsMomentsRunningLastsFunStuffBitsWeekStageGoes OnSnowBrandsVarietyLast YearVirginsHandfulBrand NewSpanking Author:Brian Regan
