message: The portrait of George is mine. It was taken in December 1980. Mary asked me to take a few photos of them for Paideuma magazine. They were doing an issue on George. George and Mary came to our house in Berkeley and I took a few pictures of them in our back yard, but they weren't very good. Next we went to the Caffe Espresso on Hearst Ave near the University (now long gone). We sat on the outdoor patio and I managed to get this image while George was talking and unaware of the camera. This image and some of the backyard images did appear in Paideuma. Later, I had some prints made, framed one and gave it to Mary. Later, when George passed and his memorial was being planned by the S.F. Poetry Center, the print was removed from the frame and duplicated for use on his memorial brochure. Apparently it was never returned to the frame, and it was on the frame that my name and other information appeared. Years later a book was published of George's letters by the Univ of Penn press, with my portrait on the front cover (reversed, however), and identified as "photographer unknown". Obviously I was a bit taken aback that no one would have remembered who took that picture, and informed the publisher, but it was too late. More recently I had a large print made and donated it and the digital rights to the photo to the San Francisco Poetry Center for use as part of the annual George Oppen Lecture series. Still, I retain the copyrights and the original negative. However, all I ask is that I be properly credited in any use of the image. For higher resolution scans of the image, contact me directly. -- Richard Friedman, Oakland California http://rchrd.com/photo
