And Now, I Feel At 85, I

I Bought My First Camera In Seattle, Washington. Only Paid About Seven Dollars And Fifty Cents For It.

At First I Wasn't Sure That I Had The Talent, But I Did Know I Had A Fear Of Failure, And That Fear Compelled Me To Fight Off Anything That Might Abet It.

And I Think That After Nearly 85 Years Upon This Planet That I Have A Right After Working So Hard At Showing The Desolation And The Poverty, To Show Something Beautiful For Somebody As Well.

I Picked Up A Camera Because It Was My Choice Of Weapons Against What I Hated Most About The Universe: Racism, Intolerance, Poverty.

If A Man Can Reach The Latter Days Of His Life With His Soul Intact, He Has Mastered Life.
