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.
