ABSTRACT
The author's case study on The Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, Japan, was an assignment greatly assisted by knowing the best times to photograph Mt. Rushmore – in the morning with direct sunlight – and the Crazy Horse Memorial in the afternoon and evening. A spectacular light show at the memorial capped off a great day of shooting. The Los Angeles Marathon project was a case whose success of this series led to me doing an assignment in Greece for the Los Angeles Times Magazine retracing the steps of the courier Pheidippides who ran from the battlefield at Marathon to Athens in 490 BC to announce a military victory over the Persians. The Cheyenne assignment at Wyoming was the coverage of a ten-day festival features a PRCA rodeo, a parade, concerts, pancake breakfasts, a Western art show, gunslinger performances, a carnival, an Old West Museum, and an Indian Village with Native American performances, food, and art.
