My name is Bill Becker, and I live in Southern California.
This site is named in honor of Ivan Karamazov, my alter ego. To get an idea of what that means,
you must read two chapters in The Brothers Karamazov:
Rebellion, followed immediately by The Grand Inquisitor.

Ivan's Place is dedicated to all of the beautiful and loving people with whom I worked in the peace and
justice movement over the years. They were my inspiration, and whatever strength and stamina I was
able to muster, I owe largely to them. I am deeply, profoundly, inexpressibly grateful for their
being in the world.
Unless otherwise designated, I took all of the photographs on this site with my camera(s) and my film.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you will find the site useful.
