Description
Photographic portrait of John Bell, a Pismo Beach hermit, ca.1900. Bell is sitting at left in front of a small wooden shack. He has a long gray beard and is dressed in pants, a long-sleeved shirt and a vest. There are tools leaning against the shack, including a broom and a shovel. The door to the hut is open behind Bell, revealing nothing but darkness.
