VINTAGE VIEWFINDER
from The Lowdown
PHOTO COURTESY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
A studio assistant poses for a photograph in the carefully arranged office space and studio of Stillwater Area photographer John Runk sometime around 1910, when he opened the new business space in downtown Stillwater. Runk was dedicated to documenting the historic changes he was witnessing in the area and along with the extensive number of photographs he took, he also promoted a service of restoring and duplicating old photos — if he was also allowed to keep a copy for his historical archives.
