{"product_id":"101-h4969","title":"Seven Decades: A Memoir of Work and Travel, 1954-2024 from New England to Virginia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book, \u003cem\u003eSeven\u003c\/em\u003e, tells of my recollections of places where I lived or which I visited in the past seven decades. Why seven decades? The answer is that it has been seven decades — seventy years — since I first began to see the world through the lens of a camera. In the summer of 1954, I used an Agfa Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) camera to record my work on a cattle ranch in Montana. Those 35mm Kodachrome slides were preserved and they are the starting point for Part II of \u003cem\u003eSeven\u003c\/em\u003e. I used the same borrowed camera to record my experiences as a mountain climber in Canada in the summer of 1955. \u003cem\u003eSeven\u003c\/em\u003e begins with Part I, in which I recall places that I visited, or where I lived and worked, from my birth in Iowa in 1932 to 1954, when I was a student at Harvard Medical School. Part I also tells of my years as a student at Yale and of my two summers at Quantico with the U.S. Marine Corps. I purchased and used other cameras in the seven decades that are recorded in Part II. I took pictures using color and black and white film, and in recent years I found it convenient to record digital images. In the seven decades from 1954 to 2024, I traveled throughout the world, and I lived and worked in Massachusetts, Colorado, Missouri, West Virginia, New Jersey, and Maryland. \u003cem\u003eSeven\u003c\/em\u003e includes descriptions of places in twelve eastern states from Maine to Virginia, using words to describe what I saw instead of reproductions of my photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the latest book from a three-time winner of a Finalist’s Medal from Indie Book Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge J.
