WEBSTER, James Jackson
James Jackson Webster
Dunedin
Death of Mr J. J. Webster
One of Dunedin’s best-known photographers, Mr James Jackson Webster, died on Thursday. Mr Webster became ill about a year ago, and although he continued to attend his business in the Capitol Buildings intermittently, he had never fully recovered.
Born in Lancashire, England, in 1877, Mr Webster had his own photographic business in Bradford before, he came to Dunedin in 1911. For a time he managed the business of Wrigglesworth and Binns in the Octagon, then established his own business in Gore, Where he stayed for about a year. He returned to Wrigglesworth and Binns, for a short period before buying Muir and Moodie’s photographic business in the Stock Exchange in 1916. He operated on his own behalf until his death, first in the Exchange, and later in the Capitol Building.
He was greatly interested in the Otago Cinematic Photographic Club, as well as the Dunedin Photographic Club. He was a member of the Professional Photographers’ Association, and also took an interest in lodge affairs. Fishing, mainly for trout, was his favourite sport. He was at one time a member of the Dunedin Royal Male Voice Choir.
Mr Webster is survived by his widow, a son (Mr Vaughan Webster), of Dunedin, and a daughter in London.

Auckland may well claim to be the home of photography in New Zealand. Nowhere else in the colony flourish so many artists of the camera, and it is agreed that nowhere else are there such suitable subjects for their skill — ladies and children, landscape and seascape. Mr G. F. Jenkinson, who has the leading photographic business at Broken Hill, is of this opinion, and has purchased the Sarony Studio in Karangahape Road and settled down to business here. Large photographs (15 x 12 inches) of heads are Mr Jenkinson's speciality, and visitors to his studio will find many pictures of great beauty. His flashlight photographs are marvellously clear and well produced.

Lovers of artistic portraiture may spend a pleasant hour in viewing the specimens of photographic art work now on exhibition at the Sarony studio. Mr W. S. Best, who has been in charge of Messrs Wrigglesworth and Binns' several businesses at Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, has purchased the Sarony business, and is now catering for a share of local patronage.

Walter Best, who was formerly operator-in-chief for Messrs. Wrigglesworth and Binns, photographers, and who bought out the Sarony Studio, in Auckland, a couple of years ago, is back again in Wellington. Walter was doing very well indeed in the North, but Mrs. Best's health called aloud for Wellington, so they came back. He is bound to succeed wherever he plants his camera, for Mr. Best is a true artist in his profession — in fact, one of the best.
