A black and white photograph of the Westminster University Building. The building is framed by two barren trees from the foreground on each side of the image.
"I am 74 years old, a retired electronics engineer, and a serious photographer since 1944. When I was 15, in Oakland, California I traded my Lionel train set for a Zeiss Ikon 9x12cm plate camera. I've been at it ever since. I have owned and used many cameras, from Minox to 8x10, but always came back to hand held 35mm and medium format cameras as offering the spontaneity I feel is the very essence of photography. I admit I have done my share of Ansel Adams imitations, but I believe that a Cartier-Bresson photograph printed on a paper towel would be a more important piece of work than 99% of Ansel's "Cosmic Postcards". So sue me!"
