“Boy Holding Two Cats” By Asahel Curtis February 1927. One of those masterful images that reflects the sheer delight Asahel Curtis took in his chosen profession. The marvel he found in his high alpine mountain pictures, his documentary records of the Klondike goldfields and his tinted magic lantern slide windows into a world slightly psychedelic is also there in his portraits of daily life. Looking back through his lense 90 years ago you sense there was a big smile on both sides of the camera.
