Valora Tree’s years with a camera began
when she was a teenager and received a Kodak
Brownie Hawkeye camera for her birthday. It had
a special (though crude) time-exposure knob,
and she remembers using it occasionally. How
interesting, to shoot pictures in low available light
minus a flash attachment!
A decade later she bought a high quality
Pentax Spotmatic along with several different
lenses, and for the next twenty-five years,
photography became her fondest form of
expression. She contributed to group exhibitions,
sold in galleries, had her work displayed at a civic
center building, a winery, a post office, a library,
a few newspapers, a few magazines, and even
got an “update” form from some “Who’s Who in
Photography” publication back in the 1980s.
(She answered that she didn’t think she
belonged in it.) So perhaps her involvement
went beyond the hobby stage, but she says,
“The fun might have gone out of it if I’d taken it
too seriously.”
These pictures are a sampling of photos shot from
1965 through 1990.
