Notes	Samuel J. Hood's (1872-1953) claimed to have been born 1870, but the South Australian Birth Index gives date as 20 August 1872. His career as a photographer began in the 1880s. He ran a successful business in ships portraits (these negatives are now held by the Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney) and portraits of people in the late nineteenth - early twentieth century. The State Library has little representation of this period. In 1918 he acquired the Dalny Studio at 124 Pitt Street, and began to expand his business into press photography, providing photographs for the Sydney Mail,
