I promised Whitney, the Heritage Coordinator for Clearwater County, that I would make her a copy of the print that I call "Fixer Upper". This one has seen a lot of exposure lately. I previously included it on my blog. A couple weeks back I made some smaller copies of this image and matted them. They are now on display and available for sale at the Beehive Artisan Market in Nordegg. And I included it on my 2026 David Thompson Country calendar.
Whitney is in charge of the Nordegg Historic site and graciously permits me access to photograph there. It has become a documentary project of mine and I am extensively photographing all aspects of the site. Sadly there has been some vandalism and looting at the site in recent months, so it is important to document things while they remain intact. I am very grateful for this opportunity so I was thrilled when Whitney asked if she could have a print of this image.
The print is on 11"x14" Fiber based paper. I printed it on October 15th, during the same darkroom session when I made all the Beer Parlour Project portfolio box prints. So like those other prints, this is a snapshot of the print after the first fix, sitting in a holding bath, in that tan colored darkroom tray. Once the print is fully processed and washed I will be matting, mounting and framing it for Whitney.
What a fantastic idea!!!!!! Check out the Halkirk Hotel, Hardisty Hipotrl, Daysland, .Strome, …oh my gosh there are so many! We used to live in Halkirk and the hotel was definately the hub of that small little town but what history it has. Where can we see some of your photos and work?
