A feature documentary on the life and photographic art of Clifford Pennock. Born in Elgin Ontario in 1880, he became the “Karsh” of his times. He brilliantly captured life in South Crosby in the early decades of the 1900s. Sponsored by the Elgin and Area Heritage Society (EAHS), this program was produced by Glen Russell and Associate Producer Diane Haskins. The film presents several hundred of his best images drawn from over 1300 photos in the EAHS collection.
