A Tribute to Paul Pernish

paul pernish
Paul Pernish taught Art History and Slide Photography at Contra Costa College. I took his slide class several times. If anyone in my life influenced my photography it was Paul. He inspired me to be creative and artistic.

I Googled Paul's name the other day. I found this: "San Francisco » Estate Sale Sunday - 02/22/09 (oakland ... items art and slides by local artist Paul Pernish Walnut Dining table w/chairs ..."

Apparently Paul has moved on. Funny, in my mind, he was still the same. Still teaching at Contra Costa. It never dawned on me that he grew older as time went on. It never dawned on me that he ever retired. It never occurred to me...

BTW - that's Paul on the right.
