This month my father, Bruce Bohnsack, stops by the studio to talk about his online photography archive, Photo By Gibson. The website is the product of years of tedious scanning and cataloguing thousands of film negatives from local photographer Howie Gibson's 40+ year career, starting in the 1930's.

Bruce purchased the film negatives in 1978 from Howie's two sons with the sole intention of keeping the group together and within Columbia County where the vast majority of the images were taken. After storing them for decades, Bruce made it his mission upon retirement to scan each negative and make them available to the public through a website.
