EXPERIENCE:
Photographer Morton Beebe, a third generation San Franciscan, went
from the paintbrush to the camera at age ten. His career started
while in Naval Flight School in Pensacola Florida, where he was
offered an assignment in the South Pacific. He realized later that
Antarctica was not what he had in mind! Making the most of an interesting
situation, he became the 39th person to reach the South Pole. He
produced photo-essays that ended up in National Geographic, Life,
Paris Match and Stern. He returned to Antarctica 45 years later,
after two trips to the North Pole, Ice Islands T3 and Site Alpha.
During the late 1960's, he has been involved in many
feature film productions and television series filmed in San Francisco,
working on such classics as The Graduate, Petulia, and Take The
Money and Run.
Beebe's first book, Operation Deep Freeze, Antarctica
was published in 1958. His other titles include Making Friends (Henry
Holt), Miami: The Sophiscticated Tropics (Chronicle Books), Cascadia:
A Tale of Two Cities - Seattle and Vancouver (Harry N. Abrams),
San Francisco (Harry N. Abrams) first published in 1985, updated
new editions in 1995 and 2002.
