The OC Fair & Event Center’s Heroes Hall veteran museum unveiled its latest exhibition last month, offering a glance into the eyes of WWII photographer Stanley Troutman, one of the first to capture the war in the Pacific after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The exhibit, “Armed Only with a Camera,” shows viewers the horrors and everyday perspectives of the war through Troutman’s photographs, letters, artifacts and other preserved memorabilia.
The exhibit opened to the public just a few weeks ago on Oct. 15. However, work to begin curating the photographic exhibition began three years ago when Troutman’s daughter, Gayle Rindge, first reached out to the Heroes Hall Museum about displaying her father’s work. Rindge organized original photos, caption sheets, correspondence and other war memorabilia that her father had kept and worked with museum director Carol Singleton to create a thought-provoking exhibit.
