Meeting At McClure's Place

San Francisco 1964

A group of us asked Michael to be our faculty sponsor for a publishing project we were doing at CCAC. He was the only teacher there who had real publishing experience. This was our first meeting at his place in the Haight. Michael and his wife Joanna's bed with his poster headboard amazed me. There was a cross by George Herms, looming over it. A student friend is lying on the bed in this photograph. My next photograph was going to be of Michael on the bed but my camera broke. After the meeting, Michael asked me if I wanted to photograph some of his friends. The rest is history.
