Livingston Kelly talks about his love of photography and how he got started in the business. He opened his first photography studio above Hoopers Drug Store on Main Street in Sylva, NC in 1971 and continues to operate Livingston’s Photo, 43 years later, just a block down the street from its original location. For a time, he had one of two one-hour photo labs in North Carolina, the other one being in Durham. He discusses changes he has seen in Sylva over the last few decades including less pollution after the closing of the Mead Corporation, the renovation of the old courthouse into a library, and general beautification of downtown.
