Yesterday, Ed, Randy and I went to the Museum of Chinese Americans. It was fascinating on a lot of levels. I'll write more later.
There, I learned about today's Mascot of the Month,
James Wong Howe.

Mr. Howe was a Cinematographer in the movies from 1923 to 1975! He won two Academy Awards - for Hud and The Rose Tattoo - and perfected the art of keeping the foreground and background in focus (
deep focus photography).

In addition to Hud and The Rose Tattoo, Mr. Howe was the Director of Photograph of one of my favorite pictures, The Thin Man!
