John Garman Oral History Interview (3 of 3)
Description
In his third and final interview, Garman begins with a description of "watchers" - World War II era volunteers who observed the sky and had a direct line to military command in case of an event. This segues into the subject of what Garman taught to some of the military cadets at Oregon State College. Examples include aerial photography and basic physics, which was taught in order to give perspective on concepts like trajectory. During World War II, Garman was also tasked with taking photographs for the military but he never housed any of the negatives.
Later in the interview, Garman describes the set-up that the photo service had at Oregon State. It included twenty-two rooms and was quite expansive. For Garman, photography was both a passion and a duty. At the conclusion of the session, he touches on how he kept up with changes in photography through experimentation and research.
