High Sierra
photographs by Cedric Wright will be presented by g. Paul Bishop
in his portrait studio at 2125 Durant Ave., near Fulton St., on
Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 2 to 5.
Cedric Wright has
for many years been a member of the Sierra Club and has done
much of his work in the high mountain country visited by this
group. This exhibit will include photographs made last Summer
while he was on a six-week trip with the Sierra Club, also the
newly finished manuscript and photographs of his book, "Words of
the Earth."
A resident of
Berkeley for 35 years, Wright originally trained for music in
Praque, Berlin and Vienna. He has been an instructor of music at
Mills College and the University of California. Arthritis forced
him to abandon his violin and he turned to his photography and
writing.
His studio at
2515 Etna St. has long been a gathering place for writers,
artists and musicians. Wright, a professional portrait
photographer, is well known to Berkerlyans for his penetrating
studies.
