Art, how much photography had you done before the war? That's a gritty
journalistic shot that tells a story, but it's obvious you had an eye
for composition.



I got my first camera when I was 10 years old. whne the war came I had
alrady
made hundreds of photos and had quite a few published. I carried my camera
all
through. When the war ended the Group Photo Officer was sent home and I took
over the photo operation of the 344th bomb Group earning a second MOS. I
then
had a few 4x5 Graphics to use and took one along when we passed through
Aachen.
Thse shots were mad with a 4x5 Graphic hand held..



Good choice of camera - did you manage to hang on to one?

(I have a 2.25 x 3.25 miniature Speed Graphic that still takes really
good pics)

Cheers,

Dave
