August 21 Program: Baker Project

Darrell Hancock

“Baker Project” presented by Darrell Hancock, a fellow member of the Photo Club.   He will speak about his work the last couple of years in curating a small collection of photographs shot in 1953 by a prominent Houstonian — James A. Baker, III. 

Darrell will talk about his involvement in selecting several photos for inclusion in Mr.  Baker’s memoirs.  He will tell us more about how Mr. Baker — then a 23-year-old Marine
Corps second lieutenant — came to be traveling through Europe that year with a 35mm camera and several rolls of Kodachrome.

Last October, acting on behalf of Mr. Baker, Darrell and his wife, Diana, delivered 27 prints from the collection to The Public Historical Library of Zakynthos, an island off the west coast of Greece.

Please join us for what will surely be a very special evening.
