An interesting exhibit on Walter Teague was held earlier this year at the Madisonian Museum of Industrial Design in Waitsfield, Vermont. You can see a brief recap by Rick Soloway here that mentions our Photographic Canadiana issue 32-3 which featured a Teague article by Rick and Ralph London on the beautiful Kodak cameras designed by Mr Teague.
The recap is on Charlie Kameraman’s site which we have linked in this post as well as in our right sidebar about 2/3s down this page.
A big thanks to member Jon Day-Reiner at Eighteen Percent Grey for generously snapping our spring 2012 fair and posting his images here in Flickr: 2012 PHSC Camera Fair – a set on Flickr
Jon lives with his partner Joanne in Toronto and shoots film and creates hand-made photographs using historical and alternative processes. He says “the tangibility of the silver and iron processes is a tactile counterbalance to the fleeting ephemera of the digital world. I love the anticipation of waiting to see what will come out of the fix, or seeing a platinum print appear like magic in the developer. In my alternative process printing, I work primarily with platinum and palladium, argyrotypes, kallitypes and cyanotypes. I am still perfecting my technique, but learning more every day“.
PHSC member Gary Perry has announced his fall Camerama show. The show will be held November 25th, 2012 from 10am to 3pm at the Toronto Don Valley Hotel at Eglinton and the DVP. Entrance is off Wynford Drive. Parking is free in any of the metered spots above ground or in the underground on Level H. You can contact the Hotel for directions or Gary for table reservations etc.

Amongst other pictures, the Turofskys took the photographs that were used in the Beehive Hockey card series. Beehive products were made by St Lawrence Starch in the GTA. Their hockey card promotion ran for three decades starting in the mid 1930s.
