Backstory – Sal Antonucci, The Photographer
Photographer, any age, pushy, eccentric, bored with his job, slightly sleezy, very Italian
Wears TBD
Sal doesn’t like photography, and he doesn’t like weddings. He doesn’t like people and he hates babies. He also doesn’t like his brother, Al. But, he does like the horses, and consequently, he always needs money. That’s why he doesn’t like Al. One day, Sal won an entire photography business off a guy on a horse bet. Now, Sal would have sold the equipment and put the money down on the next Exacta, but Al objected. Sal owed Al a lot of money, and Al swore he would turn off the cash unless Sal got a job. So presto, Sal became a photographer. Now, to make sure he photographed something, Al began to send his clients from the hair salon Sal’s way. Soon, Sal was finding himself at weddings and graduations instead of the two-dollar window.
Today Sal wishes three things: that he had some money; that he had a portable hot-line phone linked up to the track; and that Mrs. Vitale had a different hairdresser.
