RICHMOND, THEN & NOW
The Past & Present of Richmond in Pictures
WAYNE DEMENTI & JAY PAUL

Wayne Dementi and Jay Paul both have unique perspectives of the Richmond community based on hundreds of thousands of photos. But their perspectives span two centuries and present very different views of the city and its people. At our May breakfast, Wayne and Jay will share their respective images of Richmond and draw contrasts between then and now.

Wayne Dementi has been observing Richmond and Richmonders for decades as a former president of Dementi Studios, the oldest active photography studio in Virginia. He is currently the president of Dementi Milestone Publishing which has released more than 250 books including many abou RIchmond. Wayne is also the author of the award-winning book, Celebrate Richmond.  The archives of Dementi studios include 2 million images that are currently held by the Virginia Museum of History and the Valentine Museum.

Jay Paul bought his first camera in high school and has been documenting people, places and events ever since. Jay is well-known for his rich contemporary images of Richmond life and times. His work has also appeared in The Washington Post, New York Times, Rolling Stone, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe and many other local, national and international publications.
