Adjusting machinery, Rodney Hunt Co., 1974

Raised on Long Island, Ed Judice embarked on a path in photography at the age of 13 when he took a job sweeping floors in a local photo studio. After picking up work photographing locally and a stint in the army, he moved to New York city, Judice began doing commercial work for ad agencies and magazines and eventually with Polaroid. Through Polaroid, he began developing contacts in western Massachusetts, eventually moving to Wendell in the early 1970s.

Since settling in Northampton in 1990, Judice has built a thriving photographic practice. In addition to working for the Disney magazine Family Fun for over 16 years, Judice continues as a "people photographer," particularly of children, and does commercial work for area colleges. He is part of a community of photographers who gather regularly to share projects, comments, and critiques. He works regularly with a plastic Holga, as well as his old Rolleiflex, and he has expanded into video production, writing that "The video camera is another extension of my eye and mind, and I bring all of the still photo criteria to the medium." In 2008, he and his wife and produced a video about her home city, Fuzhou, China, documenting the city with the camera and interviewing everyday people in their homes and businesses.

The Judice collection consists of a series of 59 digital images relating to a photo documentation project at the Rodney Hunt factory in Orange, Mass., in 1973 and 1974; a series of photographs documenting the bicentennial of Wendell in 1981; and two video documentaries of the Three County Fair, Northampton, Mass., 2007, and "Benny and Joe: A friendship," 2010.

The Rodney Hunt and Wendell images are preserved offline on compact disc, with the Wendell images stored both as individual jpgs and as a video presentation.

The collection is open for research.
