Anyone out there have a storage space? Today, we got one. A decent sized one to fit a lot of things: back issues, books, and who knows what else. It’s interesting since for a bit over a hundred bucks, (Or if you’re a big spender you can opt for a big ass Beverly Hills spot for hundreds) you get a space where you can do just about anything in. Some people have a shop and they work on wood projects, etc, some probably run ebay businesses. Dead bodies? That too. You always hear about people not paying up on their bills, and then the storage space goes to someone through an auction. Then you hear of nasty photos been found, and then those get published, since the ownership of them go to the buyer of the space. Dead bodies? Yes that too. Babies in jars? Yep.

The photgrapher between Ali’s legs standing there with a blank expression on his face was THE sports photgrapher of the time but he was on the wrong side and missed one of the most important shots in boxing history. Neil got the shot and became THE sports photographer from then on. After checking out his extensive collection of photgraphs by other iconic photographers at his apartment uptown, we went out for Italian with his girlfriend Randy. This was the biggest Veal Parmegean I’ve ever seen. You can check out Neil’s work at: www.neilleifer.com and if you got some extra dough you can own your own piece of Ali. I’ve got two autographed prints myself.
