Minor White photographing along the Clackamas River. 1938

0001-A64. Minor White photographing 1938. Minor White (1908-1976) moved to Portland, Oregon, after the summer of 1937. He formed a camera club at the YMCA where he lived. The club built a small darkroom and had an exhibit space in the lobby. This photo was taken during a group outing on the Clackamas River. The date is shortly before June 1938, which is when the photographer of this image, Lawrence Smith, dropped out of the camera club to be married. The camera is a Kodak Duo-620 Series II, a medium-format, scale-focus, folding camera introduced in June 1937. The attachment on the lens is a filter adapter ring with a Kodak lens shade. This is the earliest known image of Minor White photographing.
