These pictures were given to me by Ted & Loretta Evans of Olive Hill.  They originally belonged to Ted's father Vern Evans.  
Vern was one of the first people in Olive Hill to own a camera.  His camera mounted onto a tripod and was operated with a cloth hood. 
With the aid of his horse and cart he would visit local events and family reunions in the Olive Hill area offering people the option to 
purchase a portrait of themselves or their family. Later Vern Evans opened a barbershop in Olive Hill (Vern Evans Barbershop) 
located on Main Street-opposite the corner of the Post Office (when Main Street contained business on both sides of the street).  

He continued to operate his photography business as a sideline.  Many of these pictures have been taken inside the barbershop.   
Sometimes his clients could dress in costumes (Vern owned) and have their pictures taken (such as a Cowboy or an Indian).
