Miss Gertrude A. Blum, of 229 East
North street, who recently purchased a
Vive camera, has already obtained q
nice collection of views of local interest,
as well as set which were exposed at
the village Of Zoar.
An enthusiastic young local amateur
recently made a set of pictures of the
| boys engaged in bathing at Meyers
| lake. The exposure was a snapshot and
the picture is just as life like as Is pos
sible to be portrayed with any camera.
Before the old school house on the
Jerry Lind property was torn down,
recently, there was an exodus of anna
exposure to the old building. There were
at least dozen views made by enthu-
| siasts.
| Will Sarver, who returned recently
from a European trip, exposed sever
al dozen plates. He has developed a
goodly number of them and is showing
them to his friends. The views are an
| interesting lot and a delightful souvenir
of his long trip.
| Harry A. March, of this city, generally
carries with him bunch of prints made
from negatives which he exposed while
with some of the local soldier boys in
the detention camp on their return from
Santiago. He also exhibits with pride
some views portraying soldier life in
it's varied form.
A number of local amateurs, during
the bright moonlight nights recently,
have attempted moonlight exposures.
| While some of them succeeded to some
| extent few of them were disappointed
on developing their plates. Evidently
they had not exposed them long enough.
|
| A Massillon youth came to town re-
Gently and entered the store of local
dealer in cameras. He wanted q
picture box" that wouldn't need refill
ing, but which would make pictures all
the time without reloading. The dealer
could not explain to him the fact that
it required plates and films and he went
somewhere else.
Guy Tilden is an enthusiastic amateur
and at his residence, in North Market
street, he has dark room, gallery and
studio combined. His collection OF views
are some of the most artistic which
have ever been exposed by any loca
amateur. Many fine architecture
views are shown,
Holly L. Herbruck, of 11O7 Wes
Eighth street, uses a Hawkeye boz
camera of the improved form. He ha:
possibly one Of the largest and varied
collection of views of any local amateur
A lighthouse tower was recently con
structed at local iron works, and Mr.
Herbruck succeeded in securing yer!
| fine exposure of 1t.
There are a number of local profes
sional photographers who make {
practice of developing and finishing
views for amateurs who have no desir
to complete their work. This is a con
Ivenience which even beginners appre
ciate, as they can set their standard o
printing by closely examining tn
, work.
Primus Philippi, of East Tuscarawa
street, has made several bicycle trips
I recently, and his camera has accom-
lpanied him on several of them. MI
Philippi has folding camera, adapte
Q to bicycle carrying, and enjoys his out
: ings when complemented with tn
y camera. His collection of views
e varied and interesting.
