Marjorie Kaufman
PHOTOGRAPHY
Mercado, 107 Prado, Havana, Cuba. In 1927, my grandfather Abe Gordon visited the Merayo photography studio located at this address to have his portrait taken. A refugee from Belarus/Poland, he was unexpectedly detained in Havana for two years before making his way to New York and eventually White Plains where he established a thriving delicatessen and raised a family with his wife, Mollie Feldman.

Marjorie Kaufman had long been interested in photography, but pressing obligations such as a career in finance, raising two boys and repeated unsuccessful attempts to improve her golf handicap prevented her from pursuing this inclination.
During a sabbatical in 2011, Marjorie dove into the world of photography with classes at the International Center of Photography. Subsequently she has worked to refine her technique through workshops with Keith Carter, Sam Abell, Arthur Meyerson, Tony Bonanno and Tillman Crane.
