This is a wonderful photograph with very compatible colors and dark areas to set them off. I like the small t-shaped bit of light on fence next to the tree. Also the curved shadows of the straight fence on the curved stones of the wall. These are things that happen when a creative photographer is at work.
In fall of 1959 I rode my bike through rose gates and ran into Mr. Louis Gordon. He asked me what I needed and I told him I was looking for a job. He told me to report to A Beachside Ave Address the following Saturday at 8 am sharp and thus began my five and a half year job on weekends and summer vacations at the FT Bedford estate.
