We (Cathy, Neil, Me) went to dinner at a little Chinese/American/Cuban restaurant-luncheonette type run-down place on Summit Avenue in Union City, Sun-Mey. Much to our surprise, the food was great. Everything was freshly cooked when it arrived. Then we went to a shopping mall and looked at Simmons mattresses. We had to get the catalog number and give it to Jon and Joy (Santlofer), so their brother-in-law, who works for Simmons, could get it for us at 40% off the regular price. We also went by Neil's new apartment. He had not yet moved in. But he would go on to make it very nice.]]> 1971-11-01-10 (roll date, image #22), Neil Roseman (1950-1992)]]> Neil Roseman. We had all came home from Massachusetts. The three of us (Neil, Cathy, Me) went to Mass for 4 days. I initially thought that this was Friday to Tuesday. But because the roll date indicates August 29th (a Sunday) our trip might have taken place later in the week.nn(roll date Aug 29, 1971 #1)nnEarlier in this project when I used film I would date the roll of film when I took it out of the camera. So, I wouldn't necessarily know the exact day the person came over. Late on I started to mark down visits on a calendar so I would know the specific day. Still, later on, when I started to use a digital camera, the date and time would be on each photograph. Earlier on I didn't always write captions. I added this caption on August 12, 2017]]> They came over for dinner. We had cucumber soup, flounder filets (which Frank, Cathy's father caught and we brought back from our trip to Lexington, MA) poached with mushroom and cream sauce, carrots vichy (from Frank's garden), boiled potatoes, salad, custard (which Suzanne and Stephen didn't care for), madeleines, honey and green grapes.]]> We (Neil, Cathy, Me) went to the Mandarin Inn in Chinatown, NYC for dinner. Neil was over here before and came back after dinner as well.]]> 1971-07-01 #1 (roll date) Cornell Roll 1]]> We had eaten dinner. I called Jon and Joy. They were napping. Jon answered the phone and I heard Joy say in the background that the chicken's in the freezer. We asked them to come over for dinner and had chickarina soup.]]> They came over to see us (Catherine Murphy and I) dressed up to go to my cousin Susan Roseman's wedding. This was the first time we got really dressed up, suit etc., since her brother, Nathan Roseman's wedding two years ago.]]> Jon came over in the morning to pick up vitamins and some other things I had picked up for him in the Flushing Queens health food store. (I was traveling back to Queens to work for Joseph Cornell). He had tea with us.]]> Rosemary Hamilton and - don't know his name.]]> Jon posed for a drawing for Cathy. Joy and I prepared dinner for the four of us.]]> I set the camera to a timed shutter release.]]> They came to visit.]]> Neil came over in the morning to bring me and a sculpture to the foundry. First, he had breakfast with us.]]> The wrappings and boxes on the table are treats Neil brought us from Farraro's Restaurant in Little Italy, NYC. He also brought us loads of food from our parents' house and some towels my mother sent for Cathy for her birthday (which is in January).]]> Jon came by to print photographs and Joy came by to pose for Cathy (Catherine Murphy).]]> Joy came over to pose for Cathy. Jon also came by. They went home and later came back for dinner.]]> Catherine Murphy met Jonathan when they were both students at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan Maine in the summer of 1967. At that time, the students at Skowhegan were comprised of undergraduate art students between their junior and senior years. The schools that they attended suggested that they go to Skowhegan. The year after Skowhegan, Jonathan became an MFA student at Pratt. We saw him very frequently during his first year at Pratt when Cathy and I were still living on Myrtle Avenue. By 1971, Cathy and I were living in Jersey City, while Jon and Joy were either living in Jersey City or had moved to Hoboken ----This was the first photograph I took for the "Visitors" project. Jon was over visiting when I took his photograph. Then it struck me at that moment that I would photograph everyone who came to visit. The project soon expanded to include everyone who came over, no matter the reason. Later on, when we lived in houses instead of apartments, "everyone who came over" began to include everyone who came on the property of where we lived, without necessarily coming into the house. Then it occurred to me that it seemed reasonable to have a 24-hour rule. If someone came over and left and came back within 24 hours, there would still be one entry. If they stayed overnight, there would still only be one entry. If that person or people came over seven different days, even in one week, there would be seven entries. (Caption added, August 12, 2017)]]> Joy posed for Cathy (Catherine Murphy) and Jon printed photographs.]]> Cathy, Neil and I came home from Massachusetts. We went for the weekend to get Cathy's painting for a show in March. (Neil was my brother, added, August 12, 2017)]]> Dinner for Jon's birthday.]]> 1972-12-29, roll date, image #16. Catherine Murphy. Of course, Cathy isn't a visitor since we both live together in the same place. I just liked this photograph of her at breakfast and couldn't resist putting it in.]]> He came by to see if we wanted to go to the supermarket (Shop-rite) by car (since we didn't have one). Neil (Roseman) took us yesterday so we didn't need to go today.]]>
