Artist's Description

In 1947 there were only 14,000 TV sets in the U.S. In seven more years there were 32 million. Television had clearly replaced motion pictures as the most popular medium of entertainment.

But my first love remains the theater. I acted in numerous amateur productions from 1958 to 1978.

While at the U of A, I studied with the master black and white photo essayist W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978) the last year of his life. I am the last person cited in Jim Hughes' definitive biography of Gene, as I wrote about attending his final...
