photographer Randolphh MacDonald by Robert Lansdale – enlarged for the web with Topaz Photo AI<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Ev Roseborough as editor of our journal drew upon his extensive background in photography to write articles relevant to our members. In volume 16-3 (Nov\/Dec 1990) Ev wrote a lengthy illustrated article about photographer Ran MacDonald titled, “A very private person – Randolph Macdonald ARPS, (Hon) FRPS, AIBP”.<\/p>\n

Ev begins his article on this famous Toronto photographer as follows. “When I began to write what was intended originally to be a rather short obit., based on some fifty years of knowing and sometimes working with Randolph Macdonald on association matters [PPoC], it became increasingly clear that very few people really knew him. The more I probed members of the Arts and Letters Club<\/em><\/a> and other organizations in which he had been active, Ran was remembered for doing a fine job but disappearing when it was completed.<\/p>\n

“So it was with his contribution to staging the Annual Theatre Night at the A & L; Ran attended the lighting. Club members, such as A. J. Casson, would spend weekends at his Woodbridge farm and many fine painting and sketches resulted .<\/p>\n

“To say that he was shy is untrue; unobtrusive, perhaps. But certainly a very private person was the handsome, gifted urbane gentleman who in 1938 bought the business of Charles Aylett.<\/p>\n

“The Aylett studio was favoured by wealthy Torontonians for many years, here Ran took the plunge from camera club exhibitor into the world of professional photography.”<\/p>\n
