Jon Wilkie, of Dawson City, takes excellent black-and-white photographs. I also have similar interests, like photographing the litter of the Klondike Gold Rush, etc.

In one of Jon’s photographs that appears on this page are wheels that perhaps came from the old Klondike Mines Railway. The other photo shows an ancient cabin, maybe from Hunker Creek or that area.

Jon Wilkie’s photography work is important for many reasons, including the fact it is recording history.

Keep it up, Jon.
