Photographers were among the colorful characters who populated the American West and documented its history. The small North Texas town of Denison was a crossroads where several railroads met, a place where travelers and settlers found adventure, made fortunes-and had their portraits made. Founded in 1872, Denison was the "Gate City" to Texas, carved out of the prairie just south of Indian Territory. The town grew and prospered, changing from a railhead for cattle drives into a shipping mecca for agricultural riches. Newly affluent citizens erected large buildings and impressive homes. By the end of the twentieth century, Denison was a mature city. In every decade, camera artists came and went, recording the shifting social and physical scene. This book tells the stories of some 125 photographers who worked in Denison. Many of them also worked elsewhere in the West and the Great Plains. Complementing the classic reference works that inventory photographers in large regions or states, this volume explores the place of photographers in a single community over time. Based on extensive research in genealogical sources and local newspapers, city directories, and other documents, "Lives in Photography" identifies dynasties of studio owners, women active in the profession, and career trajectories of individual photographers. Many of these individuals have never been studied in detail before. The book will also help family historians date particular images, based on the years when a given photographer was active in a locality.

In late January or early February of 1990, as I was sitting on the floor before the Lord, in the little desert church that I used to attend, seeking Him for a couple days during the week. I had my bible, dictionary, pen and paper with me. He began to speak to me about the word, Valentine. He began to give me new words and the first letter of each new word was a letter which spells the word Valentine, as an acrostic. I looked up each new word in the dictionary to define them to get the meaning and I wrote the definition down. After I did this basic research, He began then to speak to me further, prophetically about each word I wrote what I believe I heard Him say down as a dictation. 20 some years later, I decided to publish it as a inspirational booklet to be used as as a gift to for someone for Valentines Day or really any other time. Although it is a Valentine acrostic, it can be read over again many times through out the year for devotional reading or inspiration. I hope it blesses and uplifts every one who reads it. Although it is very pink, it is not gender specific, or geared to any particular gender. It is for anyone who needs inspiration or to be reminded they are more than they think they can be, and that there is One who adores them, and Loves them Perfectly. It has stood the test of time, as it seems to be as fresh and new today as it was when I originally wrote it.
