1912, my grandfather, John Amedee Maserjian, an Armenian immigrant from Turkey, watched over his friend’s photographic shop, Arax Studios in Poughkeepsie, NY, while the friend was away. With little English and no photographic knowledge, John managed as he was able, at one point unknowingly using a roll of photographic film to tape a tag to a box, leaving him wondering where the sticky side of the supposed tape was. When the friend did not return, John stayed with the shop, becoming a self-taught photographer and business-owner of what he eventually expanded into the Arax Photographic Company. For 80 years and two more generations, the family-run company thrived, becoming the region’s premier photographic retailer and service-provider for its community’s residents and businesses, including professional photofinishing, camera and equipment sales, portrait studios, and picture framing. This month my cousin found these never before seen photos of the shop on Main Street. The merchandise changed over the years, but the store looked largely the same through the final days when I worked there in the 90’s.
