The author and artist owes a debt of gratitude to the U.C.R. California Museum of Photography, to its Director
Jonathan Green, and most especially to Senior Curator Edward Earle and his staff for providing access to the
Keystone-Mast Collection and permission to use some of the collection images with my own in the making of this
work. Thanks must also go to my wife, Dr. Felicia Beardsley, for letting me abuse many of the photographs she has
made in the Pacific islands in the course of her career as an archaeologist. Finally, an additional expression of
gratitude goes to Edward Earle for his kind assistance with technical issues related to the making of these
pages.
