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 UC 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.
