Early comments

I have no idea who edited this page for deletion 30 seconds aft eri started editing it, but i'm just hacking on it now -please slow down.

Harry Watson was a WWII Combat photographer, a friend of Joe Rosenthal, Howard Hughes, and basically invented the methodology of shooting film footage and getting it ready for broadcast in one day for TV reporting at KTTV.

you can see some of his photographic work here

here is is with the rest of the cast from Mr Smith Goes to Washington on the bottom stair, 3rd from the left http://homepage.mac.com/gsf/popp_1/popp_1-Images/5.jpg

i would hope that this would make him notable and worthy for a Wilipedia article - i will be building a rather large gallery of his work on this page (mostly WWII combat photographs)... once i figure out how to get pictures onto Wikipedia.

I am not in any way complete - but I hope that the page as it now sits is good enought to be left as a placeholder until i can do more work on it. Contact me if not. The other steve jobs 17:17, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Watsons is an interesting family. Will have to put up stories of others. The Watson photo exhibition was very nice. Ucla90024 (talk) 21:11, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
