Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph, from left to right, of Richard Siemsen, Dottie Siemsen, Al Siemsen and Wayne West standing on a rock-lined ocean front. The group stands on a cape that juts out into the ocean. Dottie Siemsen stands nearest to camera at left. She faces towards the left, but turns her head to the camera. Behind her and to the left, Richard Siemsen stands on the rocks with his back to the camera as he gazes out over the water. Al Siemsen stands behind and to the right of Dottie. He too stands with his back to the camera, but casts his gaze down to the ground in front of him. Further back and to the far right, Wayne West stands. He is in profile and faces left, gazing towards the water. The cape extends behind the group and into the distance along the right half of the image. At the far end of the point, a couple stands and gazes out over the water. Behind Wayne, a small shack and tower stand. Water spans the space between the cape and the left frame while stretching into the distance. Text from negative sleeve: 1220. Santa Ana-Balboa, Calif. January 19, 1941.
