Henri was the founder of Vesuvio Cafe, world famous bohemian & beatnik bar in North Beach. I met Henri while researching the history my father, Franc Snyder, who had worked at Vesuvio in the early 1950's. San Francisco, CA 1984 Independent study of underground tattoo culture. Tokyo, Japan 1985 BFA (photography) San Francisco Art Institute S.F., CA. Faculty member Larry Sultan was a most valuable mentor. 1985-92 Employed at Edward Robison Co., S.F. The oldest pet shop in America (since 1849, same family owned). Robison's was featured in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. ERC specialized in the highest quality pet supplies, collars and apparel from around the world and knowledgeable staff. Sadly, Robison's was forced to close due to the colonization of downtown San Francisco by big corporations and by sky-rocketing rents. Many people remember Robison's with great fondness and maintain hopes for a comeback of this icon of old San Francisco. It was during
my time there that I started doing dog obedience training (out of my concern
that people have healthy working relationships with their canine companions).
Of course anything that died there went straight into my freezer. 1992-98
Employed by City
Lights Bookstore, S.F. I developed the Evidence section,
which is devoted to the subject of extreme deviance in biology, psychology,
etc., and the concept of otherness. The Evidence section was
awarded Best Bookstore Section in the Bay Guardian's Best of
the Bay, 1999. Evidence is faithfully maintained by Mr. Helicon. 1996 - Present: Independent study of late 19th c. taxidermy process and display methods. 1998 A short stint as my veterinarian's surgery technician. This was my favorite and most satisfying job. While there, I started a program to increase client awareness and involvement in their dog's dental health. My duties included performing 'standing' (no anesthesia) dentals and doing canine behavioral counseling. 1998
Attended John Rinehart's School of Taxidermy, WI. The instructor, Enid
