Old Dominion Camera

ODC — Old Dominion Camera, 3128 West Cary Street, 1976. They had inventory that just wouldn’t quit. Excellent people: Bill Fisher, Cecil Layell, Charlie Hall, Messrs. Potter and Kennedy.

In Charlottesville we have a camera/photo/image center that does things that Old Dominion Camera didn’t do. Pro Camera prints photos in house, they repair cameras, they hand develop film!

Dogs on the Furniture?

Trigg dogs BH 1976 — A controversial issue, should dogs be allowed on the furniture? Are they best kept on a chain in the yard? On the floor?

Sophie and John — How does the dog feel? Insecure? Unsure?

Sophie and HP — Accepted, loved?

EG and Sophie — How long is life? Is propriety more important than sentience? Do you know your place? What does the dog think?
