Description

Photograph, from left to right, of Forrest Whitaker, Hebard West and Ann West standing on a dock at Big Bear Lake and loading fishing gear into a rowboat. The corner of a dockside shed stands along the right edge in the foreground. A small dock covered in gear runs behind and parallel to it; the dock extends from the bottom edge at center and back towards the right. Several moored rowboats surround the perimeter of the dock at left and back at right. In the near distance, Hebard West stands at center with his back to camera. In his right hand he holds a few fishing rods. With his left hand, he hands a tackle box down to Forrest Whitaker. Forrest Whitaker stands, left-of-center, in a rowboat. He is in profile, facing right, and looks down as he grabs the tackle box from Hebard. Behind and to the right of Hebard, Ann West stands in partial view at the edge of the dock. She seems to stand in profile, facing left, as she watches the guys load the rowboat. Big Bear Lake stretches across the image, beyond the dock and boats. A nearby shore and a hill are visible in the distance.
