As is evident from the Letters from Moineddin [January 12, 1975], my photography has been important to me for a long time.

In 8th grade the class took a test to determine what vocation we liked.

The test was reading through a book of descriptions of different vocations.

I choose photographer.

Photographing Murshid was what I liked to do. It was the least I could do to bring fame to one who deserved it, but had been rejected most of his life by the powers that be.

And when I got into the movie business [search for Mansur Johnson on www.imdb.com for my movie resume, mentioning 29 of my 44 motion picture and tv credits], I worked around the camera, as loader, focus puller, camera grip, and grip, mostly grip. The boss was the D.P., the Director of Photography.

My 8th grade choice was manifested.
