Boston MoodyBiography of Boston Moody: I grew up in a predominantly Italian neighborhood in the north side of Chicago. My parents bought a building there when I was twelve years old. All of my friends were Italian, although, my ethnicity is African American. Durng my teenage years, I enjoyed rock and roll music, fast cars, and teenage girls. I was the captain of the Cooley High basketball team and was nominated for All City Basketball player. After high school, I joined the Army and went to Vietnam. I quickly realized that war was not like the movies. I became interested in taking pictures of my experiences in Vietnam. When I was discharged from military service in 1967, I had no idea what to do with myself. My old high school teacher asked me what I liked to do, and I said photography. He suggested that I enroll in Columbia College Chicago's Fine Arts program. Since then, I have been photographing celebrities since 1974. Read More Read Less
