I just joined FB this year and have been ......

Say no more. I don't do Facebook.

Say no more. I don't do Facebook.

Just pointing out one persons observations.. I can understand why you do not like FB , personally I like it.

 

[sly]

I’ll be attending. I’m really looking forward to meeting folks who have only had web presence for me so far. Schmoozing with the like-minded is why. I look forward to future events in Vancouver, which will be quite a bit closer to home.

 

[Bob Carnie]

Just make sure you get to Lonsdale before 7pm or in the first hour, the last show I printed for Rita Leistner had a block long lineup and people stood out side for awhile, This show has the makings of the same kind of turnout. Also I want to get pics of all the people with their art who are coming long distance.. A woman from Austrailia is coming to this so You are close to winning the prize for long distance , some coming from Texas and Anthony from Yukon. I will introduce you to as many people as I can.

Red Light show! I can see a couple of my prints in there and a few others I recognize as some of Bob's work. So excited to check this out next week!

While I’m in TO, where should I go to pick up some film and paper, maybe some camera gear to re-home on my western isle?

+1 I won’t be there for the symposium (as a teacher it will never happen because of the set dates) but I do plan to be in Toronto later this year in September. Hopefully there will be some interesting shows, events, or workshops on while I’m there.

Downtown Camera pretty much is it in Toronto. Film Plus does also cater to our tribe, but Downtown has current fresh stock all the time, Ask for George or tell them you know me. may get you a discount, or thrown out of the store.

Bob, Carissa and their team have done an amazing job! I'll have a dedicated open gallery setup on Photrio for images and videos of the event so we can keep track. Stay tuned..

Really wish I could have gone myself but sadly work would not allow....

The only Toronto store which has something left for film and at the floor I'm confident with is Downtown Camera. Vistek doesn't have anything on the floor and Henry's shrink it to small stand at their main store.
If you are driving, I recommend Burlington Camera. They have basement full of film supplies and all kind of enlarges. 4x5 and others for next to nothing price. And different films on main floor wich is heavily loaded with film cameras.

Thanks, Ko. Fe. I’m coming from BC, so I won’t be driving to Hamilton area. The Downtown camera store is fairly close to where I’ll be staying, so that’s the one I’ll hit.

Just wrapped up the tin type workshop with Horst Herget. It was great! I had a couple of firsts today: first time doing wet plate (or any alternative process) and first time working with a large format camera. I learned a lot. Horst was great and is a natural teacher. We covered handling chemistry, coating plates, getting exposure right, developing and washing and also varnishing to finish. Very cool stuff. We got to do multiple plates on our own. Big thanks to Horst and a big thank you to Carissa and Bob for organizing and hosting.

Crap! I'm suppose to take course there now....

+1 !

Need this much energy for Bob's gum course today. Just saying....

I barely made from GTA west end to the Gallery yesterday. It was so nice to see so many analog prints. Very educative for me. Thanks for participants and organizers!



I liked Bob's bobber!

A big shout out and thank you to Bob Carnie and crew for organizing and putting on the very successful Photrio Symposium in Toronto. I took in the amazing alternative process show at the Lonsdale Gallery Thursday night, attended the symposium on Friday and Saturday, and participated in Bob's gum bichromate workshop on Sunday. All of the speakers at the symposium were excellent, and the workshop was the bomb. I'm looking forward to attending the San Francisco version next Spring.
