the Lomography Konstruktor F camera<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto. <\/strong>The folks at Lomography<\/a> have had lots of success with various cameras, lenses and films for those enthusiasts into film technology (and our pre-COVID [and hopefully soon post] days of fairs and auctions). \u00a0Shown at left is the Lomography Konstruktor F, as featured on page 1 of our newsletter this month (top right).<\/p>\n

The first month of 2021 is rapidly fading as the energetic rollout of COVID-19 vaccines brings a bit of sunshine and hope that all the COVID related restrictions will end so we can get on with life.<\/p>\n

However, for January 2021, our editor extraordinaire, Sonja Pushchak, and her team have composed this latest issue of PHSC News (20-07). Take a moment now to read the articles in this issue and ease your personal<\/em> troubles and cares!<\/p>\n

Page 1 begins this issue with Robo Thoughts<\/em> – a Hollywood remake of the 1985 film “Weird Science<\/em>“, updated to 2014 and re-titled “Ex Machina<\/em>“. Next, in place of the usual PHSC Presents, is an essay on dancing robots from Boston Dynamics. Page 3 covers dance art from NYC in “The Incredible Art of We Ourselves<\/em>“; while page 4 explains how photo advertisements and toys became photo art. Page 5 discusses the recent disturbing anti-democratic antics in Washington by mobs egged on by Trump. David does his tongue-in-cheek Equipment Review<\/em>, this time on darkroom timers around the era of the GraLab classic, followed by a page of links to the Washington incident, Nikon’s factory move from Japan, and the Canadian works of Paul Strand (illustrated by Strand’s 1915 Wall Street photo, one of my favourites).<\/p>\n

Page 8 features a poster on our forth-coming second S&T via ZOOM<\/em>. NOTE: if you would like to present something, email me at info@phsc.ca<\/a> with Virtual Show and Tell January 2021<\/em>\u00a0on the subject line, and I\u2019ll pass it on to Celio. I found out last month that ZOOM is better if you send any images\/slides you plan to use directly to Celio so he can post them for all to see during your brief talk.<\/p>\n

On page 9, Ivy & Izzy banter about “The Conceptual Burden of Being Chris Burden<\/em>“.\u00a0And \u00a0we wrap up with the ever popular classifieds on page 10.<\/p>\n

P.S. As usual, every link shown in the newsletter is a hot link just waiting for your click!<\/p>\n

P.P.S. You can visit this issue by clicking here<\/a>, or by g0ing to the menu item NEWSLETTER<\/a>\u00a0at the top of the page. There is a drop down menu<\/a> that takes you to older issues dating back a couple of decades to the very beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
