EARTHQUAKE ARE WELL KNOWN. AND WITH THE 2006 ANNIVERSARY SEVERAL ATTEMPTS
WILL BE MADE TO REPLICATE THE VIEWS IN SOME FASHION. ONE, BY THE TALENTED
PAN PHOTOGRAPHER RON KLEIN WILL USE A NEAR REPLICA OF THE BIG LAWERENCE CAMERA.
THE
FOLLOWING PAGES WILL SHOW SOME OF LAWRENCE'S GROUND SHOTS MADE IN THE ROUGHLY
TWO WEEKS HE WAS IN TOWN. I DON'T KNOW IF THESE VIEWS HAVE EVER BEEN
PUBLISHED.
THESE
VIEWS ARE COURTESY OF GEORGE'S SON LEE LAWRENCE, AND THE LAWRENCE

HAVE NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT
