During the recent holiday season, former Ada resident Dudley Collins returned to the favorite couch of his puppy hood for a visit.
Dudley belongs to Jennifer Collins (daughter of Icon photographer Ken Collins). Jennifer is a former Ada resident and a graduate of Ohio Northern University who is completing her Ph.D. in Theater at Ohio State University.
In his youth, Dudley kept Jennifer company as she studied and wrote papers for her courses at ONU.
He occasionally returns to his favorite couch in Ada.
Earlier this winter Ken Collins photographed Ada's Main Street (looking south) at night. It's one thing to try night photography. Collins took this photo with his old Pentax 33 mm film camera.
He says: "It took that long for the film to be developed and mailed back to me. Film can be fun, but it's getting to be a bit of a hassle compared with the instant results of digital."
