Biographical
Amy Lou Barney was a professional photographer in Juneau, Alaska, between 1937 and 1951. Her married name at the time was Amy Lou Blood, and that is the name appearing on her photographic work, which included scenics, commercial assignments and portraits taken throughout the Territory. Amy Lou developed, printed, enlarged, tinted, retouched and framed pictures, first for Ordway’s Photo Shop and later for her own business, Lu-Ek’s. After satisfying a girlhood dream to learn to fly, she combined this passion with her photographic profession and began taking aerial pictures.
