As always it’s a pleasure to read of your father and grandfather ànd thé impact they made on Canadian history. As you know Banff is a central place in my ancestral history
love these stories Carole, what a great description of developing a negative takes me back to my mid twenties and my photographer boyfriend who had a darkroom in his home, such a fascinating process so much more embodied than fiddling around on a computer screen.
Thanks Medwyn, I agree about the embodiment of old style photography. I gave up my darkroom partly because darkroom chemicals are toxic and I knew photographers who had suffered as a result. I was mixing my own chemicals as well. So I embraced digital, but not without regret.

Recalling fondly you creating that same magic in the Toronto darkroom in the ‘70’s. I look forward to more of your writing!

Great project. Don't slow down.
We always end our Rocky Mt hikes with the Harmon tribute, "It was a Great Day in the Rockies"
Robert, what a wonderful comment to receive. Thank you!
The Byron Harmon story is an epic tale. Great to read about these times and looking forward to more!
Thanks Tannis, we have much in common.
