Just had the urge to see what Art was up to and stumbled on this page. I worked for Art in Los Angeles, 1968-70, at his highly regarded shop, Art's Photo. It was my first "real" job, and Art taught me about B&W processing and printing. We served local pros and "serious amateurs", and I learned a hell of a lot from him. We had big time arguments about philosophical subjects, but remained friends through it all. My friends would stop in to say hello and Art loved them all. They would frequently stay and talk/argue/debate with him while I went back to work. I still have the great Hamilton Railroad pocket watch he gave me as a holiday gift. I left LA in 1970, and we reconnected via the internet years later. One day he surprised me by responding to a question I posted on this site. I can only wish him well on the continuing journey... He would have argued with me about THAT comment..
