SHEL SILVERSTEIN'S CHILDHOOD HOME
Am I crazy or do other
people have an obsession to photograph homes of where famous people grew up.
Today I went to the childhood residence of Shel Silverstein. This 2nd floor apartment is located at 2853 W. Palmer
in Chicago.
Shel is my favorite writer of all times. Besides being a brilliant
songwriter, writing many hit songs including, “A Boy Named Sue” recorded by Johnny Cash and “On the Cover
of the Rolling Stone,” recorded by Dr Hook & the Medicine Show, Silverstein was a cartoonist,
playwright, poet and screenwriter.
But what Silverstein is best known for is writing
and illustrating a few of the best selling kid’s books
ever published, including “Where the Sidewalk Ends,” “A Light in the Attic,”
and “The Giving Tree.”
Which celebrities' childhood home will I photograph next....?
