This first storybook is of a time long past, a roadtrip diary made with a Rolleiflex and a lot of hope. Ike was President. Mexico was just a generation out of its revolution. It was a good time, but about to get a lot stupider. To see this in sequence, start at the bottom of the first archive.
We stopped on a small rise from which we could see the huge estuary. My traveling companion Fred Chez is nearest the camera. The taller oysterman was discussing something with his shorter friend. He was the one who knew where the good oyster beds were.

Did photography from 1948 on. But after working as a magazine writer and editor for a while, and working in broadcasting, I made documentaries and industrial films, using my photographic knowledge with motion picture cameras. In retirement I am back to the still cameras and happily, because those images I can put on a wall or in a book, and sell the occasional print. Had two print exhibitions, one in Mexico and one in Seattle, using black-and-white images from the 1950s. Is photography art? You tell me. It sure is satisfying. My photography is easy to view at Issuu.com/rogerhagan in books I call "Q.V." and other books are at Lulu.com/rogerhagan. The home site is rogerhagan.zenfolio.com
