Subject: Dad, 1943
This picture was taken by a U.S. Army Air Forces photographer at Turner
Field, Georgia in 1943. My dad was a photographer at that base and a
fellow worker shot this pic of him on 8x10 film. I have an original
contact print on fiber paper. It’s in good shape with just a few cracks
and specs here and there. I had tried scanning it once before but was
unhappy with the results so I did it again today. It has a broad tonal
range so it’s a bit tricky. Much happier with this scan.
Dad was the kindest man I’ve ever known. Fortunately, he was too old for
combat in 1943 so he worked as a photographer, first at Turner Field and
later at the Pentagon. He probably wouldn’t have mad a very good killer,
but he was an excellent photographer and artist. While at Turner Field he
painted a huge mural in the chapel. His murals once decorated a number of
Chicago residences and buildings, including the lobby of the
long-ago-demolished Edgewater Beach Hotel.
