Black and White Years: 1978 – 1986

“Color is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.”
–Elliott Erwitt

Exhibit Details

In 1978, HSR gave Troops the option of having the camp photographer capture their group photograph. Ernie Heegard supplied the equipment and a room in Camp Masters Lodge and later the White House was converted into a dark room for the summer.

Many of the pictures in this exhibit were scanned from the original negatives uncovered by Ernie Heegard some 30+ years later. The quality of some of these images reflect that age. The editors apologize for any misidentified Troops and/or locations. Please help us by contacting the HSRAA curators with any corrections.
