Jon Crispin's Notebook

Rodrigo was a reader.  His collection of books was extensive and interesting.

He was also a bit of a writer. Below is a novel that he wrote that was part of his library.

It is interesting how he changed the dedication.

He must have been working with some sort of editor or teacher, as there are lots of corrections in red ink.

Some of his books were from his days at Salt Lake High School.  The collected issues of the school publication “Red and Black” were among his books.

This was the only evidence of his byline that I could find.

Frustrating to have to obscure his surname.

There is so much amazing material here, and I have to keep reminding myself that I am just documenting the collection as a photographer, and not as a social historian.  The temptation is to photograph everything that made his life so interesting, but I reckon I would never finish.

Peggy was especially helpful is setting up and organizing our work yesterday.  Here is a shot of her cheerful presence in front of a setup for which she was largely responsible.  Thanks Peg.
