Rene Gelpi

Dec. 31, 2008

I met photographer Rene Gelpi in the late sixties when he was learning the art as assistant to a commercial photographer, Ralph Gross, who became is brother-in-law when Ralph married Rene's sister, 20 years younger then he was. The magazine that had a feature story was "INFINITY" , March 1973. They spelled is last name wrong, "Crelpi".I had an original print of the young puerto rican girl in the tiny bathroom but can't find it. What became of Rene?
