something’s wrong with this picture …<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. The Canon EOS 7D L shown here is from the right top of page 1 in this month\u2019s PHSC News newsletter. What is odd, is that like the Exakta, this camera is for the 15% who are left handed!<\/p>\n

Guess what? It\u2019s April, 2022 already. We are anxiously waiting for COVID and all its baggage to disappear.<\/p>\n

On a somber note, our editor, Sonja Pushchak, signed off with this issue. We wish her all the best in the coming months and years. Her sharp wit and talented way with words will be missed by most of us. She and her team have produced this great \u00a0issue of PHSC News for you. \u00a0PHSC News (21-10) has the usual bunch of articles \u2013 short, crisp, and ripe for argument. Take a few moments and read them and feel inspired (or somewhat irritated) once again. This issue is slightly abbreviated at eight pages.<\/p>\n

ENDNOTE<\/strong> on page 1 is Ms Pushchak’s last write-up. Page 2 in \u201cPHSC PRESENTS<\/strong> (LIVE)<\/em>\u201d is the poster for our auction in early May. Page 3, \u00a0under PHOTOBOOK<\/strong> 101, suggests \u201cSlightly More Truthful Books on Photography<\/em>\u201c with different words implied on the front cover of four popular books. STRONG WOMEN\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0on page 4, in, \u201cA Slicker Picker-Upper and the Mother of the Striptease<\/em>\u201d reviews the collection of photos featuring female weight lifters.<\/p>\n

In David\u2019s EQUIPMENT REVIEW<\/strong> on page 5\u00a0(with upbeat and cheeky wording) shows how old SCSI negative scanners can be reused with free drivers (thanks to the likes of VueScan). John Morden\u2019s trio of WEB\u00a0LINKS<\/strong>\u00a0on page 6 are all worth a visit \u00a0(the links are live, no need to \u2018cut and paste\u2019).<\/p>\n

Page 7 is our poster for the special late April speaker event via\u00a0ZOOM. <\/em>The seminar, in collaboration with ESHPh and Dr Hanin Hannouch, is on three colour photography c1900. Sadly, our friends Ivy & Izzy<\/em>, have disappeared with Sonja. We wrap up this issue on page 8 with John\u2019s compilation of shows, want ads, books, 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

Note: The ‘swan song’ in the title also refers to the late Donald Swann who wrote the music for all ‘Flanders and Swann’ performances and recordings (At the Drop of a Hat). Here is a sample – the Hippopotamus Song<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
