I photographed another event for the American Film Institute (AFI) last night - A Return to Greystone Mansion with George Stevens, Jr. George was the founder of AFI and Greystone Mansion is where they meet and had classes those first years. What a beautiful place! Here is a great portrait I took of George before he spoke to everyone about those days at Greystone Mansion. Classic Hollywood - with drink with hand.George Stevens, Jr. - Founding Director of the American File Institute on 060413
