Interview with Bill Emory

Bill Emory has been documenting the life and history around his town – my new town – of Charlottesville, Virginia for most of his adult life. He’s been behind a camera for 50 plus years and has captured many historic moments. We met at Bill’s house and sat down to talk about history, the Internet, life, photography, and some really tough questions. What makes a photo good? What do you do with decades worth of photos? Listen in to our musings by clicking the audio link below.

Bill Emory

I had the exceeding good fortune to be born of E.G. and Bill. They fed, loved and educated me. They set me on the track to the good life. I stumbled off the track to success in 1968, started chasing shadows that summer. Since then, In addition to farm-laborer and newspaper photographer my occupational incarnations include dishwasher, janitor, retail photo clerk, plumber, HVAC repairman, auto mechanic, CAT scan technologist, computer worker and politico (whatever it takes to buy a camera.) I am on the road to understanding black and white photography. Photos are my heart and memory.
