HERRERA, Frank P. (Tico)
Frank P. Herrera: "Evora, Portugal"
Frank P. (Tico) Herrera was born during the Battle of Britain to Mary Betty Parker and Francisco Herrera y Sanchez, in Beckley, West Virginia. After the war, the family moved to Morgantown, where Francisco began a career as an professor at West Virginia University with young Frankie to grow up in a bifurcated academic/rural West Virginia world. At college, he fell under the spell of Fellini’s use of black and white and Faulker’s articulate language. A friend committed suicide leaving him a Voigtlander Vitessa. Essentially that was it for Frank. After a short career as a Spanish Instructor, he became a full time photographer in 1970, and is still doing it.
