(*) Harold Leroy Harvey exhibited at the San Francisco Salon of 1916 when he was only seventeen. He is believed to have studied with Man Ray in the early 1920s, and the two men did in fact share similar interests in experimental printing techniques. Harvey’s invention of various film developers and toners led eventually to the founding of his own company, the Harvey Chemical Company, in New Jersey. In addition to working as a commercial photographer, he was a painter and an illustrator. | quoted from source
