This is my press pass for the first MTV Viewer Music Awards show at Radio City Music Hall in NYC in 1984. Remember Madonna in her “Boy Toy”\u009d wedding gown? I have shots of her in that gown and a lot of other artists from that night on<\/span> bobleafe.com<\/a><\/span> (I also got to shoot the 2nd VMAs).<\/span><\/h4>\n

The girls were undoubtedly advertising a new in-flight, company-produced beverage, ‘TWA Tea’. It must be a very dark tea because it left “tea moustaches”\u009d on the four of them.<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Eunice K. Leafe retirement photo (unused)<\/span><\/h4>\n

From my site:<\/span><\/h4>\n

Municipal Building, Teaneck, NJ<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Mom, who worked for the town, asked me to come to a Council meeting to take pictures of her giving a framed photo presentation to the town. Afterwards, we went downstairs to her office and devised this shot.<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

She was EXTREMELY neat and organized, so, of course, I would have none of that. We thought it would be funny to all who knew her in town to show the anti-Eunice whenever she finally retired. It came out great (he says modestly) and she loved it.<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Unfortunately, she suffered a serious illness 12 years later while still working and died 7 months after that, so we never got a chance to formally use this informal shot.<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

I made copies and gave them out to family members after the funeral. I also had one copy mounted and framed and this was presented to her co-workers, who promptly hung it by her vacant desk.<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

My absolute favorite shot of my mother, to whom I once had to pay a parking ticket fine (she worked in the Violations Bureau).<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n
