Preserving Alabama Life on Film

Selma author, storyteller, journalist and photographer Kathryn Tucker Windham 
knew that taking pictures is about much more than good light and a sharp image. 

This  poster relates how she got a free Brownie camera at age 12 and later
 saw the need to preserve Alabama culture through film. The poster
 is part of many exhibits at the Kathryn Tucker Windham Museum in Thomasville. 

Today's digital photography allows many more people to easily and inexpensively 
preserve memories...if only they will download those photos and make prints!
