Over seven decades he took his camera everywhere he went, from his early activism in Los Angeles to the streets of Manhattan’s East Village, and on worldwide travels. As a pacifist activist he participated in and documented draft resistance, Ban the Bomb demonstrations, Civil Rights actions, the first U.S. demonstration against Vietnam War through the War Is Over celebration, No Nukes events, gay rights, and international travels on peace delegations. He photographed many well-known and politically active figures including A.J. Muste, Bayard Rustin, Martin Luther King Jr., Grace Paley, Jeannette Rankin, Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, and Ella Baker. And he never passed up a chance to get a shot of his beloved cats, his own, office cats, store cats, or strays wandering the streets of the countries he visited.
