Biographical Note of Harold A. ParkerHarold A. Parker (1878-1930) was born in Iowa and immigrated to Pasadena, California, with his parents in 1892 at the ageof 14. He became interested in photography at an early age, and began working professionally in 1900. He opened hisPasadena studio in 1904 and operated it until his death in 1930 at the age of 52. Parker also operated a studio in the TahoeTavern at Lake Tahoe between 1908 and 1910, where he produced a number of images of both the Tavern, Lake Tahoe,and the surrounding areas. Parker was noted for his photographs of California, especially his images of the CaliforniaMissions and the Tournament of Roses parades; he was also responsible for the earliest aerial images of Pasadena. Acommercial photographer, Parker worked as a contract photographer for the Pasadena Star-News Tournament of Rosesedition, and took pictures of civic and social organizations, local retailers, and private individuals who commissioned him torecord their gatherings, buildings, and various rites of passage.After Parker's death in 1930, the studio was operated by his wife, Marjorie. Sometime in the 1930s, the business waspurchased by Dickson and Thurber Studios who ran the business until shortly after World War II when it was subsequentlypurchased by Lee and Mac. J. Allen Hawkins, who had worked for Parker as a teenager, purchased approximately 35,000glass plates and negatives from Lee and Mac and moved them to his studio on North Lake. They were stored there untilconstruction began for the 210 Freeway, at which time Hawkins offered the negatives to the Pasadena Historical Society.They were declined and many were summarily dumped into landfill. The remainder were sold by Hawkins to a moviephotographer who eventually found Parker's son, Donald, to whom he gave the remainder of the negatives.Historical Note of the "Dick" Whittington Studio"Dick" Whittington was the professional name adopted by commercial photographer Wayne Whittington (1896-1985),borrowing the name from the Lord Mayor of London who rose to that position with the assistance of his cat. Founded in1924, the "Dick" Whittington Studio was one of the first, and largest, commercial photography studios in Los Angeles,California. Whittington, a native of Los Angeles, set up his first shop near the University of Southern California campus,where he had been a student. After World War II, during which he was under contract with the United States Navy,Whittington moved his studio closer to downtown Los Angeles. The studio took photographs for nearly every major businessand organization in Los Angeles; in so doing, they documented the growth and commercial development of Los Angeles.The studio was in continuous operation until 1987.Scope and ContentsThis finding aid brings together information about the Huntington's collections of panoramic negatives.
