Photography was a hobby for the young Hugh and he had customers stand in front of their car near the gas pumps so he could take their picture. These pictures are contained in two photo albums with one other album containing miscellaneous pictures of local villages. This set of three albums were donated by the Latimer family to the Codrington Library. There are several remarkable things about this collection. First, great care was taken to keep the names of the people with the pictures. The albums include an index. Second, these photographs are snapshots in time of regular workaday folks going about their business. Some pictures seem rather posed but the authenticity is evident. I also find these photos very interesting because many of my relatives are included. (Dan Buchanan updated 2017 01 29)
The questions of exactly who took all the "Latimer Photos" was cleared up for me by Cyril Peister, on January 12, 2013, at the 95th Birthday Party of Doug Goodfellow at the Codrington Community Centre. Cyril said that he knew the Latimer's in Orland and that the son, Hugh Latimer, was the one who actually took the pictures. He knew that the father, William Latimer, had operated the General Store in Orland in the first decades of the 1900s but that Hugh took over at some point. In any case, he insisted that it was the younger Hugh who was the photographer. This makes more sense, just looking at the ages of the father and son around 1930 when most of pictures appear to have been taken.
