"Lower Manhattan skyline taken from the Brooklyn Bridge in 1948 by my father, Luke Bennett. After WWII my father bought a medium format camera and started taking photos of New York City, his new home. I found his trove of medium format and 35mm negatives a few years ago stuffed in a shoe box and have scanned and printed many of them over the years." --Peter Bennett

Random Aesthetics Picture of: Elizabeth McGovern on the set of Ragtime Photo by: Peter Bennett taken from his instagram page @ peterbphoto

I just walked onto the set of Ragtime which was being filmed on East 11th Street in 1981. It was a chaotic scene as director Milos Foreman tried to maintain order as costumes extras and neighborhood locals milled about on a rather typical block pf shabby tenements that had been converted into a turn of the century lower east side full of recent immigrants. Standing radiantly apart from it all was a beautiful young woman looking a bit nervous. It was the unknown actress Elizabeth McGovern and I was transfixed. She looked as if a time machine had just delivered her to this modern day film set and it was we who were out of place here, and she who belonged there. I took this shot and it has always been one of my favorites. - Peter Bennett

"But I understand that. Cos I help people too."

"Out of kindness."

"For money."

"How much money?"

"Well, how much help do you need?"

"My friend told me that you were difficult. And rude."

"Well, you have very well informed friends."
