Well, most of us made it to January, 2022. The local TV news reports the so called fifth wave of COVID has nearly crested here in Canada. World-wide, the Omicron variant is even more transmissible than the Delta. While Canada is just seeing the sharp rise of COVID cases, the changes have been somewhat eased by our vaccination levels (the third \u2013 a booster shot \u2013 is well underway with some elderly folk getting a fourth jab!). And helping the high levels of vaccinations is a close adherence to common sense guidelines.<\/p>\n

In spite of COVID, our editor, Sonja, and her team were able to produce another tasty issue of PHSC News for you. \u00a0PHSC News (21-07) has the usual bunch of thought provoking articles \u00a0\u2013 short, crisp, and ripe for argument. Take a few moments and read them to ease your \u00a0symptoms of virus lethargy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

On page 1 under \u201cA\u00a0<\/em>Decisive Time for Montreal<\/i>\u201d our editor compares that city’s issues and photos to those of M. Cartier-Bresson. Page 2 in \u201cPHSC PRESENTS (virtually)<\/em>\u201d captures what might be the oldest known computer (analogue, not digital).\u00a0Page 3, under NEO PHOTOGRAPHY ruminates on a post-modernist, pre-Raphaelite synthesis (say that fast …). This month,\u00a0Streamables on page 4, has an article on, \u201cHollywood Cliches<\/em>\u201d which you may relate to, especially if you watch a bunch of TMC presentations; while page 5 looks at how we are coping with the healthcare competition here in Ontario.<\/p>\n

Page 6 discusses, \u201cOtoscopography: You Won\u2019t Need a Gondola for This Canal<\/em>\u201c in David\u2019s EQUIPMENT REVIEW <\/strong>(always written in a provocative and interesting way). \u00a0\u00a0John Morden\u2019s \u00a0thoughtful selection of WEB LINKS<\/strong>. on page 7 will take you to some nifty web sites (the links are live, saving you the toil of a ‘cut and paste’ operation).<\/p>\n

Page 8 as usual features the poster for our January speaker event via\u00a0ZOOM <\/em>where\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Brandon Leung will be speaking about Asian Canadian Activism in the 1970s – as shown by Jim Wong-Chu\u2019s poetic photographic album, “Pender East<\/em>“. And we see those friends Ivy & Izzy<\/em>, on page 9, chatting on the topic \u201cNancy Evans and the Good Side of the McMoon\u201c<\/em>. This issue’s wrapper, page 10, is John\u2019s compilation of shows, events, and exhibitions of interest to collectors\/photographers everywhere.<\/p>\n

P.S. As usual, every<\/em> 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":"
