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!

a boy and his dog
Bassets were my sisters passion. She was introduced to the hounds young and loved them forever. Everyone that loved Gray was partnered with/tethered to a hound. It was an unspoken rule. It was her wish. It was made to happen. No questions, no discussion. Oh what is that tricolor beast emerging from yon oyster shell? Miraculous ears and feet, flag and voice, bounding hound of joy.

My Heart Leaps Up
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.–Wm.Wordsworth
