Clifford Pennock: Remastered
A New Lens on South Crosby
A New Lens on South Crosby is the title of an exciting summer exhibition being presented by the Elgin and Area Heritage Society at the Red Brick School, Elgin, Ontario. Sourced from some 1,300 archived pictures taken by early 20th century photographer, Clifford Pennock, this selection of 100 plus photographs will draw you into the life and times of early South Crosby Township.
Marvel at how Clifford Pennock viewed the people, places and surroundings of the early 1900’s, through his camera lens. With the click of his shutter, he created more than a picture, but a testament in time. His selection and composition of subjects, his nod to subtle humour, and his mastery of comic deception makes this a living display not to be missed.
All photos in this collection have been remastered in colour using AI tools, with the human intervention of our partner Glen Russell, to achieve the more muted palettes necessary for heritage photographs. Copies of the original black and white photographs can be seen in a specially printed book at the exhibit.
The limited 20-day run is open weekends from 10 am – 3 pm, at the Red Brick School, 3 Halladay St., Elgin, Ontario commencing June 29th.
