Hamburg Ist Schon 1982

Indonesia - The best of Asia

GERMANY AND OTHER PLACES

As a high school student I was offered the language choices of Spanish, French, and German. No one spoke German, except for Nazis in war movies, so I took the worst difficult course and earned Ds and Fs for my efforts.

Despite my poor grades I ended up working in a Hamburg nightclub in 1982.

I met the city's elite, but also its underclass and GERMANY AND OTHER PLACES are stories about those people.

They got around the world and showed up when you least wanted it.

Especially the pimps.

They went everywhere.

And no one stopped them.

AN ISLAND BEAUTY by Peter Nolan Smith Kindle Edition

A movie actor friend once explained the pecking order on an actress' wish list.

"In the first hour of a party she works the producers, the next thirty minutes are dedicated to the directors, and finally she'll flirt with leading men, but under no circumstances will be ever go home with a writer. They are bad luck to beauty."

My friend was right and never more so than during a fashion photo trip to Jamaica in January of 1984.

I was the assistant to a famous photographer.

The blonde actress was breaking out of the starlet roles into the bright lights.

LIKE magazine was featuring her on the cover as the money shot.

Over the course of a week in Port Antonio the actress played me like a fool, but in the end I got a good tan, which is never a bad thing for a failed writer in the dead of winter and AN ISLAND BEAUTY is a photo-roman telling my sad tale with words to accompany the images.

All stories are true, if interesting.
