This is the forth
page of an incredible new collection submitted by Cole Foster,
son of the late great Pat Foster. They are photos taken by Ed
Stein of LA who was a Hollywood Portrait photographer for the
studios and also liked drag racing (and was even published in
some drag racing magazines). His photos range from excellent
to iffy and I'm guessing that as a portrait shooter he had trouble
with action shots - especially in his earlier shots. His focal
point and depth of field yielded some very interesting and artsy
action photos. So, if some of these shots are blurry, remember
he didn't shoot the drags for a living.... his normal subject
didn't move. All the photos are from 1962 to 1965 from Lions,
Pomona and Bakersfield. Enjoy.
And - there are
a LOT of shots with no IDs so if you can put a name to the face,
let me know. Mail to: Stein
