Jim Romano: 80, The Tabloid Photographer.

In his own words (in heavy New York accent):

I took a picture of a Dr. Glass, Robert Glass, and he looked at the picture, he liked it, he gave me a dollar. So anyway that started me… I bought myself a car, a camera and I started to cover Staten Island for The Daily News.
