My bad - I checked my facts and it was not Giuliani"s mom, but Fiorello La Guardia"s mom who had an Italian name but was Jewish. Nothing wrong with being Jewish of course, but it sure is compatible with being Italian!

Giuliani"s mom was Jewish?? Are you sure? As a native New Yorker, I"m a bit skeptical. Wikipedia says her name was Helen C. D"Avanzo, certainly a Catholic name, but I"m willing to suspend my disbelief--where did you hear that she was Jewish? "Cause a Google search didn"t find anything. Although it did lead me to an interesting Village Voice profile of his family.

Indeed Evan, but if you look at the full list of all screenwriters who worked on the Sopranos, the picture is slightly different: David Chase (86 episodes, 1999-2007)
Terence Winter (25 episodes, 2000-2007)
Mitchell Burgess (22 episodes, 1999-2006)
Robin Green (22 episodes, 1999-2006)
Matthew Weiner (12 episodes, 2004-2007)
Frank Renzulli (9 episodes, 1999-2001)
Michael Imperioli (5 episodes, 2000-2004)
Todd A. Kessler (4 episodes, 2000-2001)
Diane Frolov (4 episodes, 2006-2007)
Andrew Schneider (4 episodes, 2006-2007)
Jason Cahill (3 episodes, 1999-2000)
Lawrence Konner (3 episodes, 2001-2002)You mention one of the screenwriters with an Italian surname as a rebuttal of my remark about "New York screenwriters with Jewish mothers". How about Mr Rudolph Giuliani, mayor of New York with a Jewish mother himself? I think there might be some truth in my observation after all. I might add that Jewish screenwriters are probably the best in the business and my remark should not be construed as a critic but just a cultural observation!�

"The Sopranos is a mafia fiction invented by psycholanalyed screenwriters with jewish mothers to project their fantasies."David Chase, born David DeCesare. DeCesare...funny, he doesn"t sound Jewish...Or in the immortal words of Mel Brooks: "Funny, she doesn"t LOOK Druish..."

Stumbled upon your site. Amazing details you"ve got here.. How did you get all the inspiration and energy to take all these photographs everytime you make something? I sorta fell out of that at the moment... Love your intro about typical blogs written by women - spot on :)
