Pete Seeger, 2002

While looking for photographs of John Brehm the other day, I came across a contact sheet with some pictures of Pete Seeger.

Here are a few. I took these photos back in 2002, when Ken and I interviewed Seeger at his home in Beacon, NY, for 1913 Massacre. Pete had a fire going when we arrived. Toshi made pumpkin soup for lunch.

These new scans of 25-year-old negatives read pretty well, at least to my eye.

I must have shot these with a Canon EOS Elan and the Canon EF 50mm 1.4 USM lens, both of which I still have and still use. The scans (hi-res jpegs) were made at Accurate Photo, on 5th Avenue and 18th Street in Park Slope.
