I photographed
Alfred Kroeber back in 1951. This came about because the KPFA
radio station had a discussion and panel a few years before. I
exchanged photographic services for a spot advertisement with
the station, when someone from the New York publishing house,
Walden Books, took the recordings, and Kroeber, of course, was
one of the people on the panel. Their wanting a picture of the
anthropologist led to Kroeber and I getting together for the
first time. A number of years later I did a large body of work
with his wife, Theodora, but she was unaware that I had
photographed Alfred.
