Description
You've seen the famous photos I.C Rapoport took of Joseph Pilates back in 1961, but what do you actually know of the day those photos were taken or the man who took the photos? It turns out I.C.(Chuck) Rapoport took photos of many famous people, Marilyn Monroe, Fidel Castro, John F. Kennedy and of course Mr. Pilates.
Chuck sat down with us to share his photos and his great stories that speak to the history of Joseph Pilates and the legacy we are all a part of. In this 75 minute discussion, you'll hear how it came to be that Chuck spent the day taking photos of Joseph Pilates, why the photos weren't published until 38 years later and what kind of man Joseph was in the eyes of the then budding photographer.

I had the privilege to meet Mr Rapoport in Rome in December 2012. What an experience. We briefly talked about Joe and he even payed me a big compliment by saying i really knew a lot about Joseph Pilates. I felt like a kid in a candystore to be in the presence of such a great personality. I am looking at the pic where Mr Rapoport is doing 'Contrology with Joe and at the few words he wrote for me underneath....what an honor and amazing experience. Thanks PA once again for bringing us the best of the best !!!!!!!!
