photographer for the Morning Albertan (1911-1912), following which he
opened his first studio in the basement of a house he lived in at 314 -
7th Avenue East. He later landed work with the Calgary Herald
and was much in demand as an outdoor photographer. W.J. Oliver took up
cinematography during the late 1910s. He was associated with Fox Movietone News
and also produced an impressive series of films for the federal Parks Branch in
the 1920s and 1930s. Jameson's biography thoroughly documents his varied
career.
