Marilyn Sholin, Marilyn Photography, Master Craftsman, Portrait Artist, New York, Miami, Photographer

Description

Marilyn's fascination with the visual arts started when she was a little girl and her two older brothers had a darkroom in the basement. She spent many hours there watching as her brothers created "magic" pictures that appeared in what looked like water in trays. Of course, the fascination with the darkroom was enhanced during Halloween when the darkroom became the best "fun house" on the block with the eerie red light.

Photographs always surrounded her family. There were the three-framed 16x20 black and white portraits of her and her brothers hanging over the sofa. Her mother's friend, Rae, created these in her full portrait home studio. For years, Marilyn thought Rae was part of the family because at every family event she was there with her camera.

Every Saturday was spent at the movies. More visual arts. Her mother took her to New York City to the museums and to Broadway shows on other Saturdays. Her entire life was always documented in photos taken by the most current Kodak Brownie camera. Her brothers were the first on the block to try the new color film. (They said it would never last!). Marilyn's uncle had the first Polaroid camera anyone had ever seen. There are still memories of pulling the film out of the camera and taking out the chemical sponge that had to coat the print if you wanted to keep the print and not have it fade away
