McLuhan at U of T in 1974 by Robert Lansdale<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Over a week back I was sent an email by George Dunbar. George had spotted a photograph in the Toronto Star<\/a> that Saturday taken by Bob back in 1974. Bob’s photograph of Marshall McLuhan \u00a0was used to illustrate a column by Brennan Doherty<\/a>\u00a0reviewing a conference held half a century ago.<\/p>\n

The column reminisces about the time in 1967 when McLuhan, Allen Ginsberg, and Sidney Katz (of the Star) and a large group of attendees met at the “Perception 67” conference in 1967 to discuss the many wonders of LSD<\/a>. The drug was relatively new and certainly not fully understood at the time<\/a>. I remember reading about June Callwood<\/a> trying to help out those youths in Yorkville and publishing her experience.<\/p>\n

As many of you know, we are blessed at the PHSC to have Bob as both our official photographer and editor of our journal, Photographic Canadiana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
