History
Ray Christie Lane, 1889-1943, was born in Campbellford, Ontario and came to Calgary with his parents in 1903. He studied photography with E.B. Curlette of Calgary and moved to High River, Alberta in 1911 to establish his own photography studio. During First World War he served in the armed forces as an instructor in photography. He went back to operating his studio which by 1920 was called Lane's Studio. Besides his studio work Ray also held photo contracts with oil companies and southern Alberta air schools. He married Lottie Bartlett from Campbellford in 1920 and they had two children, Peggy and Dick. After his death the studio was acquired by Gil Garon.
