Hammons Reporter The work of Texas photographer Russell Lee is on display this month at the gallery in the Langford Ar chitecture Center. The exhibit opened Sept. 1, four days after Lee died at 83 after an ex tended battle with cancer. Lee, who was a resident of Austin, is honored in “A Russell Lee Portfo lio: Early Texas Portraits,” a collec tion of his photographs from the Amarillo Art Center. The exhibit can be seen until Oct. 8. Accompanying the exhibit is a vi deo documentary, “Photographer: Russell Lee,” by Ann Mundy, who was a close friend and former stu dent of Lee at the University of Texas Department of Art. A special screening of the documentary will be shown Sunday at 4 p.m. Lee was best known for the six years he worked for the Farm Secu rity Administration during the Great Depression. In the video, Lee describes his dis- satisfaction after taking hundreds of photographs from roadsides and front porches. “I decided that perhaps the story was inside the house,” he said. “Here was the way people lived. How do they eat? How do they sleep? . . . All of these things were part of their particular way of life, and I wanted to get that.” Lee said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, “Sometimes people would ask me (when I was photographing them during De pression days), ‘Why do you take these pictures?’ . . . And I would say, ‘You understand about the pictures you have of your family. Well, I’m taking pictures of you because you are the history of today.’ ” Lee referred to his many series of photographs — ranging in scope and subject from Texas politics to Spanish-speaking Texans to re tarded children — as “photo essays.” The Tulsa Herald once editoria lized, “(Lee’s) pictures are . . . artistry in the best definition of the word. But they are first of all a plain un doctored record. “The imagery is not always pleas ant. There are pictures of sick chil dren and miserable, homeless mi grant farmers. “But the accurate image of pov erty and deprivation is offset by a special kind of beauty and human spirit in nearly all of the scenes and faces. Call it grit. Russell Lee re minds us that . . . the Depression generation had plenty of it.” FREE PHONE! And save up to 30% on every long distance call.

Burning the 2:00 or 3:00 or 4:00 AM oil is absurd. Especially when an HP calculator can get the answers you want — in time to get a good night’s sleep. For instance, our HP-15C Professional Scientific Calculator has more built-in advanced math and statistical power than any other calculator. Our HP-41 Advanced Scientific Calculators have even more potential. PG12602 ' ' • That’s because there are better than 2500 software packages available for them —more than for any other calculator. There’s even a special plug-in software package (we call it the Advantage Module) that’s designed to handle the specific problems an engineering student has to solve in his, or her, course work. No wonder professionals in engineering and the physical sciences widely regard HP calculators as the best you can get. So check one out.
