Donut Corner: Oakland, California circa 1958

The Donut Corner was located at 35th & MacArthur. It was a gathering spot for members of the skin diving club 'California Congers'. I used my growing interest in photography to record some of this slice of life in the fifties. Since I often had my camera with me my friends became relaxed while being photographed, allowing me to catch many fine candid pictures. While the Donut Corner itself is long gone these photos help preserve that special time.
