Read excerpt
McIver House: A Final FarewellIn 1876, Murdoch McIver settled in Fort Langley and built this house with his own hands. He and his wife, Annie, raised nine children here.

Read excerpt
I’ve been struggling with a bit of a photographic dry spell lately. I’ve been feeling uninspired, yet ironically, I live in one of the most beautiful areas of the world here on Canada’s west coast.

A new technology called television had just flickered into existence for the first time, and a brand‑new magazine called The New Yorker was finding its place on the newsstands.
