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.
