Thomas Bradt, Amateur Photographer – glass plates 1904-1910<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. In the 1960s, my physics professor, Dr S___ came in one Monday morning with a very raspy voice. Being unfamiliar with alcohol, hangover remedies, or over the counter medication, he had picked up some Bromo-Seltzer tablets to ease a throbbing headache.<\/p>\n

If he had followed the instructions, one of the rather large pills would have been dissolved in a glass and then the fizzy water consumed. Unfamiliar as he was, he had attempted to swallow a pill but it stuck in his throat. Unthinkingly, he quickly drank a glass of water to wash it down. The pill immediately frothed and fizzed nearly suffocating the young man.\u00a0Fortunately, by the time I had my afternoon lecture, his voice and throat were back to normal and we had another great lecture.<\/p>\n

Dr David Kenny recently wrote and published a book on \u00a0amateur photography illustrated with photos taken by Thomas W Bradt in 1904-1910. Dr Kenny writes, “It was my intention that the ebook would be available under the PHSC Press section as a free download for anyone … . I have licensed it under a Creative Commons license allowing free download, attribution, non commercial, no derivatives. This way members of other camera clubs can access it.”\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The pdf version was recently sent to our members as a free bonus. A hard copy is available directly from Blurb<\/a>.
