Episode 12 Origins: Thomas Roma – Part 2


“I’m looking at my son’s grandfather’s pictures and…I felt like I was trying to explain to him who his grandfather [is.] I didn’t mean to do it, I’ve never talked about Lee’s pictures in front of Lee before.” Part 2 of our conversation with Thomas Roma begins with Tom continuing to speak about the time he spent with Garry Winogrand, Tod Pappageorge, Paul McDonough, and Lee Friedlander. Also, Tom had just come back from São Paulo, Brazil before this episode so I gave him a call to talk about that experience to start the show.
