During the early 1930’s Julius Shulman audited class at U C Berkeley while earning a small living as a photographer.

On February 1936 Shulman returned home to Los Angeles only to receive his first major photographic assignment for architect Richard Neutra within a month of his return. The Campanile was completed in 1913 and  is U C Berkeley’s most famous symbol. It is also known as Sather Tower. Reaching  307 feet tall it is the third tallest bell and clock-tower in the world. Located 200 feet up is the observation platform which  provides incredible views of the entire Bay Area and campus. It is reached  by a combination of elevator and stairs.
