Tom Killion on Mount Tam
Tom grew up in Mill Valley and recalls feeling awe since early childhood toward Mount Tam towering over the town. His first memory of the mountain, he recalls, was “when I was about seven, and went way up on the fire roads with my next-door neighbor’s family, and discovered I could just go right out our back door and up some flights of steps and be on the trails—it was a real adventure.”
I wonder
how it would be
if I just dropped by your house
every night
about this time…
West Marin Portraiture
Seth Wood was a man of many talents. His excellent photography endures through the preservation of more than 100 original negatives at the Jack Mason Museum of West Marin History in Inverness.
