 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Brandy Wills. This year marks 100 years of Naval photography and All Hands magazine online is highlighting the works of individual Navy photographers past and present. Naval photography was instituted in 1914 when a cook, Walter Leroy Richardson, began taking photos on his off-duty time to document aerial and ship maneuvers, crew movement and daily operations. His hobby quickly caught the attention of Naval leadership and he was asked to create the first Naval School of Photography. Since then, Navy photographers have captured imagery of wars, natural disasters, operations and the daily life in the Navy throughout the years.
