Joel Conway was a photographer from Chicago who collected a large number of photographs over the years, including many with a focus on Santa Barbara. He also took many photographs, made large numbers of copy negatives and prints, and sold enlargements of Santa Barbara images to local customers. Some enlargements can be found hanging in places like Harry's Plaza Café in Loreto Plaza Center.
