Fishing at Downes Channel 1953

CS00378-09. Indians fishing in Downes channel at Celilo Falls, September 1953. This is a good example of the tremendous amount of amateur photography that was taken at Celilo. Lafie Foster, the photographer of The Dalles Daily Chronicle, said that in the years immediately before 1957, more pictures were taken at Celilo than anywere else in the state. This 35mm Kodachrome slide was made by a linolium installer from Portland, Constantine Zimmerman. Ultimately, the interesting composition of the photograph earned it a place in the book Wild Beauty.
