For seven years I was one of the people on the other side of the camera. They photos, poses, and backgrounds may look funny now, but nearly 40 years ago we were creating memories for those involved. One particular child had birth defects and I worked for 20 minutes to get some good shots of her. Yea whoopee, I hear, 20 whole minutes. The average sitting took under 5 minutes and we did upwards of 400 sittings a day. The mother came back the next time I was in town to thank me for my efforts. The little girl had died the day after her 5th birthday, two weeks after the sitting.
