  • My grandfather was friends with him.

    He met him many years ago in Ottawa

    and he helped him set up my grandfathers studio.

    My uncle became head of Kodak Camera in England.

    Perhaps Karsh influenced my family's success in photography?

    I think I met Karsh at my grandfathers furneral but was very young at the time.

    Thank you Karsh for helping my family.... :)
