Career
Edelman graduated from Stuyvesant High School (age 17) in June 1941.[14] Stuyvesant (Old Stuyvesant High School at 345 East 15th Street) was about 1.7 miles his family's apartment at 488 East Houston. His family, in 1930 (up until at least 1934, according to Mary Edelman's citizenship application), lived at 152 Goerck Street, Manhattan, which was renamed in 1933 as Baruch Drive.

Career (continued)
One article, entitled "The Hard Boiled School of Photography," narrates the "Legend of Skippy Adelman, PM's Picture Ace." Described as having a "tough wiry figure" and the “hands of a boxer," Adelman embodies all the ideal traits of the street-smart protagonist. Much is made, for example, of Adelman’s childhood poverty and ironfisted upbringing: "The early years of Skippy Adelman’s life made him sick and unhappy, then coldly, bitterly furious. He started taking pictures simply as a means of earning a living, and then suddenly discovered his camera was a graphic instrument."[17][18]

Selected critical acclaim
- In 2021, Alan John Ainsworth wrote, "Few photographers were closer to the world of the 1930s and 1940s jazz than Charles Peterson and Skippy Adelman." "Adelman, a Greenwich Village resident and one of a new generation of hard-bitten photojournalists, was as close as Peterson had been in midtown Manhattan to the swirl of activities around Condon." " ... Adelman belonged chronologically to the new generation cohort but his life and work cautions against pigeonholing all these photographers as young, collegeeducated members of the middle class."[37]
- According to newspapers jazz columnist Nels Nelson, Skippy Adelman begat Otto Hess, who begat Charles Peterson, who begat Popsy Randolph, who begat Herman Leonard, who begat Chuck Stewart, who begat Robert Parent, who begat Burt Goldblatt, who begat Robert Polillo."[35]
- "Skippy Adelman's pictures have the spontaneity that is the very soul of jazz."[7]
Cameras
For the Jazzways photographs, Adelman used:
- Rolleiflex loaded with Super-XX film and Speed Graphic with Super Panchro Press, Type B. The Rollei used Wabash Press 25 bulbs, stops down to f 22 and shoots 1/200 second, and with the Speed Graphic, Wabash Press 40s were used with the diaphragm set at f 32.
