Photographer's Work to be Seen At Bishop's Studio

The Berkeley Daily Gazette
November 27, 1953

High Sierra photographs by Cedric Wright will be presented by g. Paul Bishop in his portrait studio at 2125 Durant Ave., near Fulton St., on Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 2 to 5.

Cedric Wright has for many years been a member of the Sierra Club and has done much of his work in the high mountain country visited by this group. This exhibit will include photographs made last Summer while he was on a six-week trip with the Sierra Club, also the newly finished manuscript and photographs of his book, "Words of the Earth."

A resident of Berkeley for 35 years, Wright originally trained for music in Prague, Berlin and Vienna. He has been an instructor of music at Mills College and the University of California. Arthritis forced him to abandon his violin and he turned to his photography and writing.

His studio at 2515 Etna St. has long been a gathering place for writers, artist and musicians. Wright, a professional portrait photographer, is well known to Berkerlyans for his penetrating studies.
