Wow! Don't Miss The PHSC Image Show!

Sunday April 28, 2013 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM

Our vendors will offer a variety of quality and well-priced images: Daguerreotypes to Ambrotypes, CDVs to Tintypes and Opaltypes, Prints, Postcards, Snapshots,

Stereographs, Books, Albums and more!!

Added Feature: Two excellent lectures included with admission:

11:00 AM: “Collections Care 101” by Sarah P. Fay the owner of Sarah P. Fay Photographic Management.

Sarah P. Fay holds a Master of Arts in Photographic Preservation and Collections Management and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. She has worked with some extensive photographic collections in New York and Toronto. Sarah believes that the image and the object are of equal importance and that both have a story to tell. Her aim is on how to best preserve both. With a focus on management, housing and care, Sarah’s lecture will help the budding photographic col-lector and seasoned Dealer take better care of their collections!

1:00 PM: “To Inform, to Illustrate, and to Instruct: Photographs in Books in pre-Confederation Canada” by Dr. Joan M. Schwartz of Queen's University.

Dr. Schwartz will be speaking about William Notman’s three books of photographic art repro-ductions, "Photographic Selections." Notman’s photographic reproductions made the civilized art world a more accessible place, giving viewers in pre-Confederation Canada greater visual access to works of art held in private Montreal collections or not immediately available in public institutions outside Europe. This talk will examine the nature, production, circulation, and sig-nificance of Notman’s "Photographic Selections" and other photographically illustrated publica-tions in nineteenth-century Canada, including those by Samuel McLaughlin, H.B.Small, Octavius Thompson, George Beers and Henry Vennor.

THE PHSC E-MAIL 3 VOL. 12-13 April 2013

Our February 2013 Meeting

In March we had an interesting field trip to the MasterCard Centre and the D.K. (Doc) Seaman Resource Centre. The trip was organized by Ashley Cook who interned at the archives there during her student days at Ryerson University. The archives belong to the Hockey Hall of Fame and document hockey’s history around the world in all leagues from kids to the professionals.

Initially housed in the downtown location of the Hall at 30 Yonge St., the expanded archives moved four years ago to the MasterCard Centre in south Etobicoke on Kipling at New Toronto Street. The archives began as a single file cabinet and wooden chest. The MasterCard Centre includes four official size practice ice rinks used by the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Marlies.

Before touring the facilities, Craig Campbell and Steve Poirier of the Hall graciously stayed late to speak with us. Craig covered the history of the archives and

what they are continuing to preserve. The facility is funded in part by the Doc Seaman Foundation and a grant from the International Ice Hockey Federation.

The oldest team photos in the archives are prints from the 1880s while honors for the oldest collection goes to the Turofsky brothers (photographs from about 1928 to 1963). The Hall has some 18,000 Turofsky photographs and about 750 glass plates. The Turofsky collection was originally purchased by Imperial Oil and donated to the Hall of Fame back in 1981. Included are many of the original photos used to make the popular hockey cards (Beehive, O - P e e - C h e e ) collected by kids decades ago, plus some original cards by

O-Pee-Chee - and occasionally the gum as well.

According to Craig Campbell, the goal of the Hall is to have at least one photograph of every player who played in the NHL for even a single game. Craig estimates these players to total over 6,000 of which so far about 72% are represented in archives' photographs.

Archival images of NHL games are posted online as the negatives are systematically digitized. The holdings are available for outside researchers - even Prime Minister Harper has used the archives to validate parts of his upcoming book on the sport of hockey. The Hall mounts smaller exhibits in other locales for viewing by hockey fans not in easy travel distance to Toronto.

Everything related to hockey from the gear the players wore to trophies and related items are kept in the archives. For example, the oldest sweater in the archives is from 1910 and looks pristine. All donated clothing is wrapped in plastic and placed in a freezer to kill any adult bugs. The gifts are then moved to a second freezer

for a longer period to destroy any eggs or larvae. All fabric gifts are treated the same even though man-made fibers are impervious to insect attack. This saves the time that would be needed to carefully segregate items made of natural fibers.

In addition to photographs and media, the archives accepts equipment. They have been given a few cameras and early strobe lights. The equipment is carefully tagged and organized by photographer to complement the individual’s photographs.

Hockey pinball machines were also manufactured but are very rare. The Hall tracked down one with a California collector and a donor purchased it on behalf of the Hall. This particular machine, which features a women’s league, was on display in the archives during our visit.

The archives continue to get other collections of memorabilia and films. They are far larger and more professionally organized than the beginnings years ago in the small room in the downtown Hockey Hall of Fame at the bottom of Yonge Street. The evening

turned out to be an interesting look into the world of modern day archives.

A token of our appreciation to HHOF presenters Steve Poirier and Craig Campbell

THE PHSC E-MAIL 6 VOL. 12-13 April 2013

Tod Gustavson reports on the Eastman House Blog that the Kodak Instamatic 126 Film camera celebrated its 50th Anniversary this March. Tod points out that more than 50 mil-lion of these units were sold, the most success-ful Kodak product since the introduction of the Brownie camera in 1900. The drop-in film cartridge was a solu-tion to the primary cause of pho-tographic failure at the time, the mis-threading of rollfilm.

Significant also was that the 126 cartridge eliminated the cam-era's metal pressure plate which held the film flat. Photo magazines of the time were filled with dis-

cussions on whether an injection-moulded plastic cartridge could

be made with enough precision to hold the film properly, in conjuc-tion with a plastic camera (hard to believe in this day of plastic every-thing!) Kodak were very proud of their plastic moulding technology, and held a patent on the 126 car-

tridge design. Although the name

"Instamatic" came to rep-resent inexpensive con-sumer cameras, Kodak and other manufactur-ers did produce more so-phisticated, precision 126 cameras. Most famous (or infamous) of these was the Kodak Instamatic Reflex, somewhat similar to Kodak's top of the line

Retina Reflex 35mm camera.

THE PHSC E-MAIL 7 VOL. 12-13 April 2013

Canada Post Announces New Photography Stamps

Consulting with leading voices in Canadian photography, Canada Post has curated a collection of photographs to create a series of postage stamps “…intended to speak to the depth and variety of Canada’s photographic tradition…,” but which are also pleasingly useful for mailing across Canada and world-wide. The “Canadian Photography” series of stamp issues will be released from March 22, 2013 until 2017 to showcase Canada’s 150 years of photographic history. This new photographic series will replace Canada Post’s “Art Canada” series of visually stun-ning annual stamp issues.

Experts consulted, including PHSC’s friend Maia Sutnik, Curator of Photography at the A.G.O, cast aside more restrictive notions of Canadian photography in favor of selecting the best works by pho-tographers identified as Canadian, as well as photographers who “…demonstrated a Canadian vision of the larger world,” and also creators of photographs shot in Canada.

The first stamps in Canada Post’s new “150 Years of Canadian Photography” series were issued March 22, 2013, including the Permanent Domestic Rate stamps of the series:

“Louis-Joseph Papineau” is an 1852 portrait of the 19th century leader of the largely French

Canadian Patriot Party in the years leading up to the Rebellions of 1837-1838, by Thomas Coffin Doane. Doane was an early Montréal-based daguerre-otypist.

“Koo-tuck-tuck” is a portrait of an Inuit woman taken in the early 20th century by Geraldine Moodie (1854-1945). Moodie documented many First Nations peoples as she accompanied her husband, a North-West Mounted Police officer, on postings to the Northwest Territories.

“The Kitchen Sink” is one image from the domestic still-life series created by the pioneering photog-rapher Margaret Watkins (1884-1969). Watkins became renowned for both her still life and portrait photography.

“Hot Properties #1” forms part of the 1987 series of environmental portraits created by Jim Breukelman (1941−), who photographed Vancouver properties that were dis-appearing due to redevelopment. Breukelman is based in Vancouver, but it was a house in San Antonio, Texas that changed the way he looked at Vancouver-area homes and gave rise to the series.

“Andor Pasztor” is a diptych by social documentary photographer Gábor Szilási (1928−) which pairs an informal 1978 picture of a man sitting in a room, with a view of the

room he sits in, to convey a more profound portrait of Andor Pasztor, who was a close friend of Szilási’s father. Szilási’s work documenting life in rural Quebec towns, as well as travel photos have gained him national acclaim.

U.S. rate and International rate stamps also released March 22, 2013:

“Small Basement Camera Shop”, circa 1937, is part of artist Rodney Graham’s series of works portraying fictional characters with a variety of occupations, recreating a scene Graham found in an antique store photo, a tip of his hat to the art of photography, according to critic Lilly Koltun.

“48 views of Yousuf Karsh,” by Toronto photographer the late Arnaud Maggs, features 12 portraits of Ottawa photographer Yousuf Karsh, from Maggs’ “48 Views” series, which featured prominent Canadian artists, whom Maggs pho-tographed 48 times each. Maggs has been honoured with both the Scotiabank Photography Award last year, as well as a tribute exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada.

In conjunction with the Canada Post stamp release, Ryerson Image Centre has announced they will be honouring Arnaud Maggs and Gabor Szilasi with solo exhibitions.

A SECOND LOOK AT THE HICRO CAMERA by Robert Lansdale

This is a further note to our article in Photographic Canadiana, Vol. 38, No 1, wherein I described the production of the colour HICRO camera, an ingenious machine that produced three colour separation negatives from which prints or transparencies could be produced in quantity.

The camera, initially produced in 1915 by the Hess-Ives Corporation in Philadelphia, was not successful and it came to an end when America entered the First World War in 1917.

I came across a copy of Camera Craft magazine for November 1921 at the Daguerreian Symposium/Photo Trade show in Arlington, VA. I found an interesting ad in the back it. One does not find such ads included in the PDF versions of the same magazines that are available on internet libraries.

It shows an ad for the New York Camera Exchange (amongst other ads) where they were offer-ing redundant HICRO cameras for a song for use as ORDINARY cam-eras. They were offering the vari-ous size cameras for $12.50, $10.00 and $6.00. I noted that they were selling one of the small cameras with a better quality lens and shutter which we hadn’t noted before.

I checked my collection of magazines and the same ad was in the December issue 1921 Camera Craft (only one I have of that year) but there was a different ad for the NYC Exchange in my June 1920 issue of the same publication. So we can add a little more to the HICRO history.... The Hess-Ives Corp was being wound down at a loss by 1920-1921.

Can this explain the death of Hess in 1922 and Ives reluctance to talk about it in his auto-biogra-phy? I should look into it further to see if steel-magnate Henry Hess died under mysterious circum-stances with the heavy debt to the U.S. government over his head.

Louise Freyburger carried the research a little further. She found in the New York Post for March 16, 1944, a column on PHOTOGRAPHY by John Adam Knight in which he said: “A couple of years ago I tipped you off to some Hess-Ives Hicro focusing cameras with F:8 R.R. lenses, unearthed by the New York Camera Exchange, 116 Fulton St. near Nassau. You readers bought up the whole lot within a week and I have since seen many pictures that you have made with them.”

Hmmm - a long time in storage until the Second World War.

George Hunter

It has come to our atten-tion just prior to press that photographer George Hunter has passed away in his 92nd year. We hope to provide more detail in next

month's newsletter.

THE PHSC E-MAIL 9 VOL. 12-13 April 2013

FROM THE NET by Robert Lansdale

Superheadz of Japan has launched a new self-powered cam-era to its stable of shooters, called the Sun and Cloud. Located above the camera are panels that collect solar energy, while a hand crank located along its side lets you wind it up to generate kinetic energy. And if it happens to be a rainy day or when your arms are tired from a workout, you can still charge the camera's inbuilt battery via USB. Measuring 152 x 152 x 203mm

and weighing 200g, the Sun and Cloud sports a 3-megapixel CMOS sensor, an ISO range between 100 to 800 with the ability to record video, too.

Dutch designer, Scott van Haastrecht has come up with an innovative way to spice up his mornings. His invention, the Image Toaster, searches the Internet and then proceeds to toast the day's latest images on bread. Meant as a school project for a Creative Technology course, the Image Toaster is currently still a proto-type and needs to be tethered to a computer to work. The creator explains that his final product will

work on Wi-Fi and only need a power cord to function.

Canon has just announced two new additions to its stable of dSLRs, the EOS 100D and EOS 700D. The 100D is the company's smallest dSLR to date, measuring 117 x 91 x 69mm, and is 25 per-

cent lighter than the EOS 650D. Housing the same 18-megapixel hybrid CMOS sensor found in the 650D and 700D, the 100D is fitted with a 3-inch capacitive LCD with multitouch capabilities. It also boasts an ISO range of 100 to 25,600, and shoots up to 4 frames-per-second (fps) in burst mode and records full-HD movies in 1080p. Besides a Digic 5 image processor, the dSLR is fitted with a new autofocus system which pro-vides a wider focus area along with faster autofocus performance. The EOS 700D comes as an update to the EOS 650D and looks almost identical to its predecessor. Like the earlier iteration, the 700D uses an 18-megapixel hybrid CMOS sensor, Digic 5 image processor and phase-detect autofocus sys-tem. It also shares other specifica-tions such as a 1,040k-dot, 3-inch articulating LCD screen and 1080p full-HD video recording.

The Outex Waterproof Camera Cover features a patented seal design that ensures that your cam-era is watertight (to up to 10m) and weather sealed from snow, mud and dust. This accessory is made from a special latex com-

pound that makes it flexible and rugged. It also comes with a large circular window at the rear which allows users to preview images and gives a full view of your cam-

era controls. We think the Outex could be a good balance between functionality and price if you con-sider what's available now. Although waterproof bags are cheaper, they can sometimes be clumsy and be of inferior quality. And while dedicated underwater housing lets you dive deeper, it is less mobile and much more expen-sive.

Lomo cameras are renowned for their lo-fi aesthetic, and gener-ally produce pictures on 35mm, 120 or medium format film. There are plenty of products available that turn existing SLRs into lo-fi machines via lenses, and there are even digital versions of Lomo cam-

eras themselves, like the Superheadz range. However, this camera from researcher and writer Greg Dash claims to be the world's first digital lomo fish-eye camera and it's absolutely tiny.
