Harry Adams
The photographs of Harry Adams were seen for thirty years on the pages of the California Eagle and the Los Angeles Sentinel. Adams also photographed for scores of churches, social organizations, and private clients. Adams was probably one of the best-known people in the community: he and his camera were an omnipresent part of social life from 1955-1988.
