When you consider the
thousands of photographs that Adams County farmer Charles "Jim" Lott produced over many decades, you
become aware of his deep appreciation for
photography’s duality. That duality was best described by Cornell Capa, when he
said that photography has "the capacity to provide images
of man and his environment that are both works of art and
moments in history."
Few people in the history of Adams County, let
alone Pennsylvania or the United States, so devoted himself to
artistically chronicling the relationship between people and the
agricultural environment of the 1930's through 1950's as Jim
Lott succeeded in doing.
In
1999 Jim Lott talked about his life and his photography with
eldest son, John Lott. For more on the conversation as
remembered recently by John Lott,

Each photographic print has been
reproduced, from Jim Lott's original nitrate negatives created
in the 1930's and 1940's, as a Chromira® print on
Fuji Crystal Archive ®
photographic paper.
