Cedar Falls man turns thesis into Old-Time Photo Portrait studio
John Thompson, 26, of Cedar Falls operates an Old-Time Photo Portrait studio at the All Iowa Fair. From a 500 page thesis completed for a University of Northern Iowa degree, he offers 100 costumes spanning the Old South to the Victorian era, with antique props and an 1902 8 by 10 view camera. He travels the fair circuit yearly and believes the nostalgic appeal of dressing in historic garb will endure.
