. . . from the archives #23: Short Track—Los Angeles, 1977

As I recall, I used a twin-lens reflex for this shot of a railroad siding in the factory district of downtown Los Angeles. It appeared on the cover of the periodical Momentum for its Fall, 1977 edition.

Momentum was an avant-garde poetry magazine published in Los Angeles in the mid-70’s; it was edited by Bill Mohr, who was a fellow bureaucrat working next to me at Los Angeles County’s Department of Public Social Services. Yes, apparently this Bill Mohr! The internet can be really fascinating! As well as frustrating, since the fact that Momentum magazines had covers by the noted photographer Michael Mundy cannot be elicited via a Google search. We will have to wait until the little Google crawlers scan this blog page.
