NEXT TORONTO MEETING: Wednesday, April 17th, 2013
A Mystery Program and our Annual Business Meeting.
We are back at the MEMORIAL HALL VENUE. Come and join in the friendly chatter and tables of interesting items.
The public is welcome. Go to our Programs page for times and directions.
Mississauga, April 10, 2013. It was with sadness that I learned of George’s death last Wednesday, April 10, 2013. He died peacefully in the Credit Valley Hospital. Doing a Google search will bring up a wealth of information on George and his colourful personal history. You say George is not familiar to you? Well, if you were around in the 70’s and 80’s you probably saw his photos on Canadian stamps and currency. For example, his work is on the back of the $5 (salmon) and the $10 bills (petroleum industry). Continue reading
Siggi dropped me a note to remind me of the Spring 2013 Vancouver show which coincides with our image show. So if you are in Vancouver, drop in to see what’s offered on the west coast and say hello to Siggi for us. Click here or the image above for more information.
The new nome of the Tintype Studio’s web site
Toronto April 16 2013. Paul Sergeant and the guys have been busy. Very busy. Visit their spanking new website at www.tintypestudio.net.
On the site are details of their coming events, including a display and portrait sessions during CONTACT next month at the Campbell House Museum.
Never heard of it? Campbell House has been around for many decades. It’s that neat brick house on the northwest corner of Queen and University in Toronto. If you click on the Tintype Studio image above, you will see where I mean. Look in the lower left corner. The four lanes of traffic going south with the boulevard and statue are University Avenue.
The shot? It’s a black and white photo I took with my Leica in early 1979 from a Toronto hotel room during a break from a seminar.
NOTE: Thanks to George Dunbar, I took a second closer look. The photo of Campbell House is from my Leica IIIf shot on Kodak Tri-X ASA 400 film from the Hilton Hotel on University Avenue just below Queen Street while attending a division conference in the hotel, not on an aircraft flight. The “early 1979” date is correct (and no aircraft were harmed in the shot:-).

NEXT TORONTO MEETING: Wednesday, March 20th, 2013
A Tour of The D.K. (Doc) Seaman Hockey Resource Centre.
Our March meeting WILL NOT BE AT THE MEMORIAL HALL VENUE. Instead, we have a tour of the D.K. (Doc) Seaman Hockey Resource Centre which is inside The MasterCard Centre For Hockey Excellence at 400 Kipling in the west end at New Toronto Street.
The tour will be hosted by avid hockey fan and centre manager Craig Campbell. It begins at 7:00pm sharp. There is free parking and wheelchair access at the centre. A Tom Hortons is just up the road. The tour focus will be on photography’s role within the sport. The tour will also cover the centre’s vast collection of print material, souvenirs, gear, trophies, and hockey sticks. Click here or on the icon to visit the Hockey Resource Centre website.
The public is welcome. Take the Bloor-Danforth Subway west to Kipling, and then take the number 44 Kipling South bus down to New Toronto Street which is right across from the centre.
