Toronto<\/strong>. In the spring of 1979, on May 5th, we held our 5th photographica-fair. The locale was downtown at the Chelsea Hotel<\/a>. Rooms and halls were filled with treasures for photographica collectors.<\/p>\n

By 1979, we had the hang of hosting a great fair. In the photo at left you can see two of our members, a buyer, the late Fred Hunt, professional photographer and teacher of the art; and a seller, the late John Craig of Massachusetts, whose largess graces this site (repair manuals<\/a>). The photo was shot on Ilford HP5 with a Leica.<\/p>\n

For a few years now, we have hosted the fairs at the Trident Hall<\/a> (Evans and Islington) in the southwest corner of Toronto. The next show on May 25, 2025<\/a>, is coming up fast.<\/p>\n

There is free parking in the area, great food, inexpensive admission, many many bargains, and friends galore. Come on down and join the gang for a great outing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
