Welcome to Stay Focused
01st January 2021
By now you know that Stay Focused is part the arnielee website. We’re here because we love taking pictures. You’ll find articles based on our 60+ years of experience in photography. We’re happy to share our know-how with you so in hopes that you’ll discover new ways to enjoy your picture taking even more. At our main arnielee.com website just opened Fine Art Prints for those interested in purchasing printed photographs from our large portfolio. |
I just discovered your website via Facebook and have to say that even though I haven’t been able to look at everything yet, I think it’s awesome! I love your “do this, not that” approach with examples. I can’t wait to look at everything else on the site!
Thanks!!
Kristy

I want to thank you so much for “A War Story” Arnie! Here’s another story, told by my mom and edited by me, which was triggered by viewing a photograph of Dad’s unit, taken at Ft. Crowder!!!
When World War ll broke out Artie joined the army. He was in the Signal Corps which consisted of intelligence and communications officers involved with coordinating and transmitting information using any means available, including carrier pigeons. The Signal Corps conducted training of the pigeons and the training of those who trained the pigeons.
There wasn’t much need for carrier pigeons with all the new technology and the US Army decided to retrain some of their pigeon handlers as photographers. This chore was Arthur’s responsibility.
At first Artie tried to convince the hierarchy that there were many talented amateur and professional photographers to choose from, already in the military, but the army was intent on retraining those pigeon handlers. So, that’s what Art did.
This unit later became part of the 164th Signal Photo Company and was assigned in the China-Burma-India Theater with Arthur. He was very proud of his combat photographers. His unit distinguished themselves in intense combat in the Burma campaign and in battles along the Lido section of the Stillwell Road. Although it was very dangerous work, they produced an impressive record. Arthur received the Bronze Star for his service during the campaign.
