a San Francisco camera obscura from the 1970s
Toronto. The Camera Obscura shown here is from the right top of page 1 in this month’s PHSC News newsletter. The ‘Giant Camera’ once in San Francisco, California, was coloured like a huge Ektachrome box.
What do you know? It’s January, 2023 already. Most COVID rules have disappeared but the pandemic is still around – much diminished by vaccines and sensible practices.
Our interim editor, Etaoin Shrdlu, and team have produced a great issue of PHSC News for you. PHSC News (22-01) has the usual bunch of articles – short, crisp, and ripe for argument. Take a few moments and read them and feel inspired (or irritated) once again.
BORN TO BE WILD on page 1 touches on a motorcycle from the great war (WW1) and its photo. Page 2 is a blatant request for volunteers to augment the PHSC executive – time on your hands? – contact us! Page 3 & 4, under NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT and MORE NEGATIVES looks at lost negatives discovered by our staff. Page 5 is the poster advertising our January talk by Lorne Shields. In David’s EQUIPMENT REVIEW (upbeat and cheeky as usual) he looks at repurposing your film enlarger in this digital era. Page 8 covers OTHER FUN EVENTS. And as usual, we wrap up this issue on page 9 with our editor’s, ‘THE BACK PAGE‘ compilation of shows and wanted ads of interest to collectors & photographers everywhere.
P.S. As usual, every link shown in the newsletter is a hot link just waiting for your click!
P.P.S. You can visit this issue by clicking here, or by g0ing to the menu item NEWSLETTER at the top of the page. There is a drop down menu that takes you to older issues dating back a couple of decades to the very beginning.
