Born in Pine County, Minnesota, on this date in 1912: Thiel’s father, Graydon Roland Beechel.
He was an avid photographer, inspired by the work of Ansel Adams, among others. The top photo is detail from a study of ice crystals (1968). Below: seascape, Bodega Bay, California (1952; click to enlarge).
