The Price of Silver If you want to know the real living history of a place, sit down for a cup of coffee and a smoke with a local photojournalist. That's the lesson we learned digging into Al Kaplan's blog, The Price of Silver. The title refers to silver used in film, but it could well hint at Kaplan's treasure trove of Miami tales. Kaplan worked as a photojournalist for Miami papers for 50 years, and both the visual and verbal lore he shares with readers is worth its weight in precious metals. If Miami, particularly in the '60s and '70s, holds your interest at all (or ultra wide-angle self-portraits, for that matter) Al Kaplan has plenty to share with you and his many other fans.
