\"D.J.<\/p>\n

Miesto a d\u00e1tum jeho narodenia s\u00fa nejasn\u00e9. Nie je ani jasn\u00e9, kedy jeho predkovia pri\u0161li do Ameriky. Jasn\u00fd je len peniaz, ktor\u00fd si str\u00e1\u017ei ako oko v hlave. Je to minca z roku 277 p.n.l., je na nej vyobrazen\u00fd Gelo II., kr\u00e1\u013e Syrak\u00faz. Predpoklad\u00e1 sa, \u017ee jeho pradedo pri\u0161iel niekedy po\u010das vojny za nez\u00e1vislos\u0165 ako obchodn\u00edk do Louisiany zo Sic\u00edlskeho Kr\u00e1\u013eovstva, ktor\u00e9 v roku 1780 vyhl\u00e1silo ozbrojen\u00fa neutraltu proti ka\u017ed\u00e9mu, kto ohroz\u00ed jej obchod. Po odk\u00fapen\u00ed Louisiany Spojen\u00fdmi \u0161t\u00e1tmi jeho otec pokracoval v obchode so star\u00fdm kontinentom. Kedy a kde sa stratil, \u010di na indi\u00e1nskom \u00fazem\u00ed, alebo sa stal obe\u0165ou pir\u00e1tov na mori, nevedno. Z\u00e1hadou ost\u00e1va aj to, ako sa dostal mlad\u00fd D.J. do Richmondu.<\/p>\n

Fotograf J.T. Smith spom\u00edna, ako jedn\u00e9ho d\u0148a zbadal chlapca pred v\u00fdkladom svojho konkurenta a suseda G.W. Minnisa z 215-tej Main Street, ako si so z\u00e1ujmom prezer\u00e1 fotografie vo v\u00fdklade. Prihovoril sa mu, ale chlapec, hoci sa zdalo, \u017ee porozumel, moc toho po anglicky nepovedal. Ke\u010f sa v\u0161ak ubezpe\u010dil, \u017ee chlapec vlastne nikomu nech\u00fdba, zamestnal ho u seba ako pomocn\u00edka.<\/p>\n

Sp\u00e1val priamo v ateli\u00e9ri na 217. Main, tak\u017ee bol z\u00e1rove\u0148 aj nie\u010do ako no\u010dn\u00fd str\u00e1\u017enik. Naj\u010dastej\u0161ou pr\u00e1cou bolo chodi\u0165 po chemik\u00e1lie do laborat\u00f3ria ku Edwardovi T. Finchovi na 184. Main. Tu sa Gelo nau\u010dil pripravova\u0165 roztoky na spracovanie fotografi\u00ed. Druhou \u010dastou pr\u00e1cou boli n\u00e1v\u0161tevy optiky Mitchell&Tyler na 108. Main a Belviderovej Manufakt\u00farnej spolo\u010dnosti na v\u00fdrobu papiera na rohu \u00f4smej a Arch. Najob\u013e\u00fabenej\u0161ou pr\u00e1cou v\u0161ak bolo rozn\u00e1\u0161a\u0165 hotov\u00e9 fotografie z\u00e1kazn\u00edkom. Boli to zv\u00e4\u010d\u0161a rodinn\u00e9 fotografie. Tak sa stalo, \u017ee spoznal mnoho rod\u00edn v Richmonde. Bol \u010dast\u00fdm n\u00e1v\u0161tevn\u00edkom na r\u00f4znych plesoch a oficialit\u00e1ch, kde doprev\u00e1dzal svojho majstra ako pomocn\u00edk fotografa. Vo\u013en\u00e9 chv\u00edle tr\u00e1vil v billiardovom saloone M.G. Whitmana na rohu Main a 14-tej. Billiardu sa v\u0161ak ve\u013emi nevenoval.<\/p>\n

Ke\u010f podr\u00e1stol a dorastaj\u00faci Smithovi synovia prevzali jeho pr\u00e1cu, zamestnal sa ako str\u00e1\u017enik a pomocn\u00fd robotn\u00edk v Mechanickom In\u0161tit\u00fate. Bolo to na 9-tej ulici, medzi Main a Franklinovou ulicou, s v\u00fdh\u013eadom na vl\u00e1dny Capitol. Na pamiatku dostal od J.T. Smitha star\u0161\u00ed fotoapar\u00e1t a pr\u00eds\u013eub, \u017ee na jeho fotografie, ak bud\u00fa za to st\u00e1\u0165, mu zo\u017eenie kupcov. Zl\u00e1kali ho dia\u013eky.<\/p>\n

Tak Gelo ob\u0165a\u017ekan\u00fd fotografickou technikou za\u010dal pracova\u0165 ako pomocn\u00fd robotn\u00edk na \u017eeleznici. Precestoval skoro v\u0161etky \u017eelezni\u010dn\u00e9 trate v ju\u017en\u00fdch \u0161t\u00e1toch. Po vypuknut\u00ed vojny kontrolu nad \u017eeleznicou prevzala arm\u00e1da. Nebolo o \u010dom dlho prem\u00fd\u0161\u013ea\u0165, dal sa zverbova\u0165 k 25. pe\u0161iemu Virg\u00ednskemu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
