Autorenporträt
Ed Westcott was my friend. I met him late in his life and for most of the time I knew him he was restricted by a stroke and unable to speak. Yet, his mind was clear and he could remember well. He and I communicated by phone as he was better able to speak when he was not in the presence of the people with whom he was attempting communicate. He autographed photos for me to sell in charity auctions. He showed me 16 mm film he had made of him getting into a helicopter to take aerial photographs of Oak Ridge and of him climbing the water tower on Pine Ridge from where he made the iconic panoramic image of Oak Ridge. From that film, i was able to digitize enough to form the basis of a documentary film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYvzw9f8M8A The Historically Speaking columns written about Ed Westcott are all included in this book, Ed Westcott - Photographer.
