A lifetime of pictures
Ted Wiley has been honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Spokane Camera Club.
Long before computers and Photoshop, and decades before digital technology, Ted Wiley took pictures. He developed the film in his own darkroom, creating birth announcements and fun family Christmas cards. Over the years, his artistic photos have won multiple awards and blue ribbons.
On Oct. 19, his 90th birthday, the Spokane Camera Club honored Wiley with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
“I started taking pictures in 1939 when I was still in high school in Coulee City,” Wiley said.
He took his camera with him when he joined the Army. In 1945 he was sent to Germany with the 97th Infantry Division. “I’ll never forget the sound of machine gun bullets zinging from off the tombstones,” he said of one fierce skirmish. Full story. Cindy Hval, SR
