I worked for Parks Canada, late 60’s early 70’s. At that time you could still find traces of the camps. I doubt that I would know the locations now. I’ll keep watching for info on your articles and book. Thanks for your efforts.
I have fallen in love with 4x5 in the last few years mostly because of the calmness it requires, but also because it lends itself to thoughtful subjects like this one. Your 4x5 expeditions always get this across. But more importantly, what a story!
Absolutely first class and wonderful story telling , the pictures shown were very good indeed , excellent video, congratulations my friend on a fantastic piece of work !
Thanks so much for this film and bringing this part of Canadian history to light. As a Ukrainian Canadian, I have never heard this story and that is deeply disturbing in its own right. Yet another dark part of Canadian history that was never broached when I was in school. This internment of Ukrainians would have been just prior to the time when my own grandparents came over from "the old country" to settle in Alberta as homesteaders. Sadly, all of my elder relatives have passed so I can't ask for any first-hand information but the story you've told has certainly ignited a need to learn more about the story. In the 70's and 80's, my family had a recreational cabin in the part of BC near the town of Hope that is now Sunshine Valley. I discovered during that time that it was a large Japanese internment camp during WW2 and like you've said in this story, that knowledge forever changes a place in one's mind. Whenever I travel through that part of BC, that's the first thing that comes to mind, not the happy times my family had there. I've travelled through Banff many times and this knowledge you've shared will do the same for me in viewing Banff from this point forward. Thanks again.
Beautifully done. Like that you showed when you messed up the aperture; most RUclipsr would edit that out even though most photographers have made similar mistakes.
Yes, many ethnic immigrants were exploited to varying degrees when Canada was a young country. there are definitely many untold stories . Zenon billings
Thank you for this video, as always informative and inspiring in terms of its mood and art. Can I ask you maybe to share a bit more info in your videos on how you decide exposure and composition etc?
Thank you for this knowledge - I did know about the Japanese internment camps (worked with several fellows who were interned a young men and kids). I wish you tremendous good fortune in putting this book together - keep us posted on when it comes out.
You know, for this assignment you could’ve easily just turned up and shot off a bunch of digital but it feels like this subject matter was deserving of the time and patience of large format. Great video.
Hi Todd, I had visited Banff maybe 15 years ago now as a young surfing backpacker photographer and the area was beautiful. Thanks for covering this history. Lest we forget. Wonderful photos and I love the choice of large format for this subject matter. You captured the mood perfectly I feel. As always a wonderful video with great music choices. Your Irish friend. cheers
Hello Todd, thank you very much for this informative video! I once was invited at a conference of the Canadian Bioethics Society, held at the Rimrock Resort. I enjoyed the place and the whole scenery very much, Jasper even more than Banff as, with its rich history of trappers and railroaders, it felt like a 'real' town more than Banff. But I didn't know anything about this grim chapter of history until now.
Interesting to learn this history. Great video as always especially the scene at 14:01. Thanks for sharing. I’m curious if you always used a dark cloth and didn’t show it sometimes.
I lived in Edmonton for nearly four years in the mid 1980s and knew that there was a large Ukrainian presence, hence Edmonchuk. Despite multiple trips to Banff during that time, I never knew anything about this sad period of Canadian history. Thanks for the lesson.
Yes very large in Edmonton, it was quietly covered up and hopefully forgotten about, but thanks to the Canadian Ukrainian community it will now always be remembered.
at 10:51 what a "Nick Carver" moment, love the horn, but, if I saw right you have only 3-4 holders, so 6-8 sheets..... getting low on film, as you have shot 4 already.
Great story about an event I had never heard about. Thanks! I always considered that the most beautiful part of Canada was between Banff and Revelstoke. I thought that the only historical period though was the building of the CPR 35 years before WW1... Lucky you to live in Calgary!
Great video. Every video of yours I watch I always learn something. I must ask,...where did you get your belt pouch for the film holders? I've been looking for something for my 4x5 when out walking about.
I'm Canadian and I had never heard of this. When I clicked the video I thought maybe it had to do with Japanese internment during WWII Sounds like it's time for a heritage minute.
Internment camps during the Great War (or simply put - concentration labour camps) for Ukrainians, Italians, Japanese and other “enemy aliens” is a dark stain on Canada’s history. If not for research and creative projects like yours it would be largely forgotten. • Today is a Ukrainian Easter - Velykden! Христос Воскрес! 🥚🇺🇦
Thank you Todd. I imagine the feeling there is very different when you know its history. Also good to see someone at your level still making some mistakes. Gives me hope! hahah

Never forget history, and the look of 4x5 never gets old. Thank you Todd for bringing us along.
It is interesting to try and photograph history.
A very moving, informative and well crafted film. Thank you for all the hard work Todd. Best festive wishes. Michael

Going back to see if I can find more traces of that history, thanks.

Thank you, I will be doing more on this as well.
Good one Todd! Great story, great photos and excellent choice of music. It so fits the mood.
Thanks pal, appreciate that.

Another excellent video! Thank you for the history and the photography. I found both very interesting and educational.

The Canadian Ukrainian community are pushing to teach this story in Canadian school history, as it should.
@@toddkorolphoto Agreed. So they should. While I’m still a proud Canadian, I think there’s yet more dirty laundry buried in Canada’s past to come out.
Beautifully done. Like that you showed when you messed up the aperture; most RUclipsr would edit that out even though most photographers have made similar mistakes.
Oh I've made plenty over the years. 🙄
Yes, many ethnic immigrants were exploited to varying degrees when Canada was a young country. there are definitely many untold stories . Zenon billings
Beautiful country up there. I agree, it's important to document past transgressions so they will not be repeated.
Fantastic work as always!
Thanks so much.
Great video Todd, and love the music.
Thank you.
You’re a legend Todd! Thanks for showing us this forgotten history.
Thanks as always!!✌️
Thank you for sharing. This was wonderfully done.
Many thanks.
nice shots, and love the film holder holster!, very cowboy of you, esp. wearing that Akubra hat.
Pretty sure its a Stetson...
It is ;-)
Beautiful video

What a beautiful combination of important history and powerful image making. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and reaching out...
Great film, Todd. I always enjoy your work.
Thanks for watching!
Interesting story. Great photos.
Thank you.
Nice work!

A very moving story beautifully captured. One of my relatives was interned in Germany in WW1, he anglicised his name whilst he was there.
Thank you, sorry to hear that.
Thank you for sharing this story, Todd. I had never heard of this event in our history. Very moving.
Thanks for watching and coming along.

Thank you, yes I still try as much as I can.
Inspiring !

Thanks Todd. I always enjoy your thoughtful videos. This one was especially poignant.

Cheers mate! Thanks for your support all the time. Come back and visit.
Wow Todd! That was a really gorgeous series of pictures on a really sad topic. Thanks for making both the video and the pictures!
Thank you very much.
Thank you for this historical trip
I enjoyed it and I enjoyed too your
Photos.

Yes I always use a darkcloth, just don't always show it.
Thanks!
That is very kind!!!🥂

Yes the film holster holds 3 film holders. After I use one or two, when I get back to my truck I replace the used ones with new ones.
Thank u for this educational video. History is sad and tmax looks great❤
Thanks for watching!
I’ve never used Tmax, is it normally that contrasty or was done with intent during the developing ?
Yes a little more in the developing, and also how I liked the look for this story.
Great story about an event I had never heard about. Thanks! I always considered that the most beautiful part of Canada was between Banff and Revelstoke. I thought that the only historical period though was the building of the CPR 35 years before WW1... Lucky you to live in Calgary!

Great content Todd! Which brand of camera are you using?
It's a Chamonix 45N-2.

Canada can make amends by helping Ukraine now.
We are.
Thank you Todd. I imagine the feeling there is very different when you know its history. Also good to see someone at your level still making some mistakes. Gives me hope! hahah
Oh I make mistakes all the time, but it's also about realizing your mistakes and fixing them. Cheers
