to do a photo essay around the Jewish milieu. He had previously done photo essays of the North Beach, San Francisco, area,
of the evacuation of elderly citizens from hotels in the South of Market area of San Francisco, and of the Southeast Asian
Community in the same city. In addition, he had been the staff photographer of the San Francisco Opera since 1978.
The Stanford Powwow is held every Mother’s Day Weekend in the Eucalyptus Grove on Stanford campus.
