OriginalNotes: Per information from son Jerry Stillings in Zach, "Photographers of Montgomery County"
"He grew up in New Hampshire and from what I know from pictures and 8mm movies he got interested in photography early in life. During WWII Harold was a combat photographer with Patton’s Third Army in Europe. He took battlefield pictures and “newsreel” type movies of the combat action. He was also Patton’s personal photographer for a while too, after the fighting ended I believe. He met my mother, she was from Crawfordsville, while stationed at camp Atterbury before going overseas and they were married in 1943. That’s how he came to live in Crawfordsville after the War. For a short period of time before starting Photo Fashions my dad work for a photographer named Hirshburg, I don’t know if it was Morris or not. Hirshburg actually moved his business to Greencastle around 1950 and my dad moved down there and worked for him for a few months. For most of the time my dad ran Photo Fashions he was also a full time staff photographer at Purdue, for 21 years. At Purdue he took all sorts of photos – portraits, group pictures for the Purdue yearbook, pictures of research projects, etc. So I guess I should add here that he was “part-time” at Photo Fashions taking portraits in the studio at night and weekends, weddings and commercial shoots on Saturdays and Sundays (there were a lot of Sunday weddings back then). He would sometimes have three or four weddings in one weekend. He enjoyed doing the weddings the most. My mother took care of the business from 9 – 5 weekdays while my dad was at work at Purdue - making appointments for portrait settings, getting orders ready for pick-up, etc." [Jerry also included some images of Harold]
