King Schoenfeld’s photos have captured the best of the neighborhood spirit through the years. That is particularly important in this Covid-19 Era.
He took many memorable We Shall Overcome photos at our neighborhood’s MLK Day gatherings. Turn to page 7 for more of King’s great photos.
King and wife Dee have lived on the 6100 block of Westminster for over 45 years, and their involvement in the neighborhood has extended to the entire Skinker DeBaliviere community.
They were founding members of the People’s Clinic, which was located at the current home of the SDCC at 6008 Kingsbury in the 70’s. Its success began in reaching out to everyone, regardless of income, to give innoculations to children and wellness checkups to all ages and later expanded to its current location on Delmar. That’s the kind of community spirit King has always worked for.
King Schoenfeld has been our primary photographer for nearly the entire history of the TIMES.
His photos have included portraits of residents and coverage of major events in the neighborhood, and we could always rely on him to be there to take photos like this memorable MLK Day celebration photo, capturing the spirit of “We Shall Overcome.” As he wrote in an earlier anniversary issue of the TIMES: I began shooting news photos for The Paper when I was just over 30 years old and recently married.
I discovered my true avocation: trying to put a story into one photo image that got your attention. Hours in the darkroom were a monthly ritual, finding the right black and white images to drop off for Marj Weir next door. What I didn’t realize at the time was how this job pushed me into the life of the neighborhood, meeting its wonderful people and gaining a sense of contributing to its life.
King said he wanted to cover “events that we are familiar with as Skinker DeBaliviere traditions, favoring those that had emotional appeal or graphic appeal.” His photos demonstrating that achievement will be featured in a special exhibition at the Andrew Cross Studio on June 20, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the TIMES.
