Special Merit Award - San Francisco Examiner Photo Contest - 1966This is the first contest I ever won. I did not get "first prize" because I did not have the necessary "model's release" for the boys cavorting in the waves.
1st Prize - San Francisco Examiner Photo Contest - 1968I took this picture in Kyoto; I watched these young school children for a long time while they played with the pebbles. I love this photograph because it shows us that children do not need fancy toys in order to have fun at play.

On December 23, 1998, the San Francisco Examiner newspaper published 2 full pages of my photos in the HABITAT section. The year before I had taken pictures of lavishly decorated houses. On a lark, I sent about 15 slides to the Examiner in November and the paper did a wonderful layout (only 1/2 the page is shown on the scan). Plus I got paid good money!!
