Many happy returns...

Peter Schmidt was born 81 years ago on May 17, 1931. 

My effort has been to inform myself that he was so much more than I thought he was, and I have succeeded.  My effort has become so much more than that.  It has been an odd pleasure to document a legacy, a life, and a group of people who knew him and loved him. 

He will live forever in his work, a legacy of beautiful images and words.  I am surrounded by these things...
