Byron Harmon

Byron Hill Harmon (1876–1942)[1] was a pioneering photographer of the Canadian Rockies.

Prior to his move to Canada, Harmon got his start in photography as the proprietor of a photographic supply store in Washington State, where his employees included future dance photographer Wayne Albee.

He was a charter member of and the official photographer to the Alpine Club of Canada from its outset in 1906.

Over the next 30 years Harmon became a leading citizen of Banff, founding the local Board of Trade, the Rotary Club, and serving in municipal government.

[6] His collection of more than 6500 photographs provides an outstanding, thorough, and vivid representation of the Canadian Rockies in the early 20th century.
