Synopsis

An outstanding collection of archival photographs documenting early exploration, transportation, and settlement in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Brock Silversides has collected 200 archival photographs that highlight the various stages of mountain photography from the first forays into the region to the building of the railways and the development of communities and roads. Waiting for the Light examines the challenges and hardships these early photographers faced, the adventures they had in their search for unique views, and the exceptional photographic record they produced.
