… and a merry ZOOMas to all!

Toronto. Good heavens! We held our  twenty-fifth executive meeting via ZOOM on Wednesday evening. Clint (and Ashley) announced that he found an alternative place for this year’s spring fair. It is where we hold our auction (NEW FAIR VENUE). Given the COVID sixth wave is underway, we will decide to go or bail late this month on both fair and auction. At that time I will post the fair, auction, and trunk sale dates and venues as appropriate.

As mentioned last month, we are taking March off and moving our April meeting to the LAST FRIDAY of the month (April 29th) to join the ESHPh group in an exciting series of presentations and discussion on our favourite topic.  Title for the symposium is “TECHNOLOGIES, EXPEDITIONS & EMPIRES – THREE-COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHY AROUND 1900”. Eventbrite is ready to accept tickets now. After 100 tickets, the symposium will live stream via our YouTube channel (there’ll be with no option to ask the panel questions via YouTube).

Our president, Clint Hryhorijiw, will be one of the three moderators at the symposium, while our programme director, Celio Barreto, will operate behind the scenes. We will be posting more information both here and on other media such as EventBrite.

Our May presentation is on Japanese photographs and equipment around 1900 with Dr/Reverend Max Dionisio head of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) Library. See April’s or May’s PHSC News (or a later post here) for details.

David and Louise report their efforts at creating the third issue of our journal as moving along quite well, but they would still welcome ALL hopeful writers with stories about photography, especially here in Canada.

Finally, remember that our membership year is now from January 1st to December 31st. All those whose memberships previously ended in 2022 will be extended to December 31, 2022 at no added member cost. And our annual general business meeting (AGM) will be moved from April to December.
