An article was written by Stan Dickinson at the time of Eddie Duke’s death describing him as a true artist who was a comedian, a philosopher, a musician, photographer, a master of wit, and much more. His photograph Massadain in the TAG collection is an evocative composition of the site of Massada, Israel. 

 

     Without doubt Eddie Duke was the pre-eminent photographer in Kirkland Lake for most of his life.  

Charlie Angus produced a radio documentary on Eddie Duke and the Mile of Gold in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, as a part of the CBC RADIO series Northern Stories: "This is the story of photographer Eddie Duke who chronicled the growth of the gold mining town of Kirkland Lake."
