Wednesday, September 18, 2013, 7:30 PMPHSC welcomes
DR. DEEPALI DEWAN – Senior Curator, ROM, Dept. of World Cultures speaking on:
Raja Deen Dayal: Artist-Photographer in 19th-Century IndiaIn this talk, Dr. Deepali Dewan describes her decade-long research project (with Dr. Deborah Hutton of The College of New Jersey) pursuing one of the most well-known but little-understood photographers from 19th-century India, in numerous archives and across multiple continents. The photographer, Raja Deen Dayal (1844-1905), was born in Northern India and worked as a Surveyor for the Colonial Administration. Self-taught as a photogra-pher, he eventually left his government job to open three successful commercial pho-tography studios and was appointed the official photographer to one of the wealthi-est rulers of the Princely States, the Nizam of Hyderabad.
Deepali Dewan is co-curator of “Between Princely India and the British Raj: The Photography of Raja Deen Dayal,” an exhibit featuring more than 100 original artifacts on view at the ROM until January 12, 2014. It is inspired by the book “Raja Deen Dayal: Artist-Photographer in 19th-Century India," by Deepali Dewan and Deborah Hutton (Mapin Press, and the Alkazi Collection of Photography, 2013), available in the ROM shop or at www.mapinpub.in.

The life of a newspaper photographer! Our very entertaining guide in June was Toronto Star photographer Richard Lautens, a 26 year veteran with the paper (Richard took after his famous dad, the late Gary Lautens who also wrote for the Toronto newspaper).
He acknowledged both our past president Clint Hryhorijiw who introduced him tonight and audience member Boris Spremo as strong influences in his career. Richard studied photojournalism at the U of T and first met our past president while both worked on the The NewsPaper, a U of T newspaper. Richard claims he honed his skills shooting school events for The NewsPaper using his first good camera, a Pentax K-1000. Working for the Star as a summer student, he met and learned much from Boris Spremo.
For Richard, it was a real pleasure being paid to take pictures for a living. He explained, “they give you cameras and film and fly you all over the world to cover stories. When the cameras break, they either fix them - or buy newer versions! I still get excited picking up the paper and seeing my name in the byline or under the picture."
Newspaper photographs used to be shot in black and white with 35mm SLRs. Always on a tight deadline, newspapers became early adopters of digital photography in the days when digital cameras were limited and delicate, costing a small fortune. Richard describes using a rather clunky and awkward Nikon D2000/Kodak hybrid digital camera at the 1998 Nagano Olympics in Japan. The camera had a built-in rechargeable battery with such a short usage time that it wouldn’t last a whole hockey game, forcing him to
seek electrical outlets between periods. There was no comparison to his regular sleek Nikon F5, but the paper laid out the $50,000 and instructed him to use the Nikon/Kodak.
In modern day newspapers, Richard performs many tasks: photojournalist, story writer, and blogger with his photographs appearing in the paper and on the web. For the web, he takes videos with a DSLR and edits them on a computer. The moving images are a complement to the still shots and written story. The Star gets four million hits a day on its website - many viewers look at pictures both current and archived.
Each time Richard takes an image, it is composed to tell a story and inform or amuse the audience. He works hard to make each image interesting so the viewer will read the story or watch the related video. The big question he always asks himself is, “why am I taking this shot or video?"
Because the scenes he views are often instantaneous he has to be very familiar with the equipment and how to manipulate its buttons to get the right shot. “The camera becomes a part of your arm and eye and you have to be ready to shoot at any moment." he tells the audience. His brain is working constantly. “What is the story?” “What shots do I need to effectively tell it?” It is an effective shot if it tells the story and conveys the emotions of the participants.
He showed us examples of his
images and videos as a portfolio of examples of his recent work. He showed dramatic as well as fun shots and portraits with unexpected results. For example, he was assigned to shoot a model using a lion as a prop. Suddenly the lion turned on the model and knocked her down. The brief attack was covered by video. The model ended up with four broken ribs as 450 pounds of lion pounced on her, but Richard managed to get his photographs before the attack.
He carries a lot of gear to assignments these days - cameras, lenses, audio recorders, accessories, and even a laptop! It’s a lot to carry but needed to compete with the other journalists. It’s no wonder that the gear isn’t in pristine condition and frequently needs repairs!

Toronto Notes Continued - Richard LautensRichard also showed us that
behind the scenes, it is not always glamorous as you may think. For example, many of the pictures are taken after the action has taken place, like a fire, or an accident. The photographer has to think about an added element or angle to tie the picture to the event. Another aspect of photojournalism is showing images from a different part of the world, things we haven’t seen before, photographs in a new light or showing details that are sometimes missed.
It is always good reporting to show both sides of a story. For example, the peaceful protesters at the G20 in Toronto, the police presence and that of the hooligans. Richard described how he suffered collateral damage when police hit
him with a nightstick while he was photographing the protestors.
He is always looking for shots that capture emotions as well as different aspects of the story. “Perspective always adds depth to the story.” “That is why most shots have a human element,” he says. Richard does studio as well as on location work. In the studio setting, he has more time to set up, can use extra lights and he can also use special effects. On location, things are different. “You only have few minutes to shoot a portrait and have to be creative using any available light with your flash units for fill. What you have in the room can be used as a prop.” Any photographs you take have to be family friendly - an important aspect when shooting. On slow
news days, he shoots weather features to add to the paper’s appeal!
With today’s digital cameras, photography is a lot easier - there is no restriction on how many pictures you take (but then the shots have to be edited down to a few essential images). For example, Richard may shoot over a hundred images for a story, and then edit the set down to the best four or five. Newspaper policy dictates that only basic editing is allowed such as dodging and burning, correcting colour balance, and cropping. A good photograph always demands a professional photographer. All in all, the evening was a fascinating look into the life of a photojournalist.

Another Successful Summer PHSC Trunk SaleThe weather co-operated once again for the 3rd annual Larry Boc-cioletti outdoor photo trunk sale. Organizer Oscar Li and other PHSC executives were outside the Soccer
Centre very early Sunday morning to set up, supervise the arrival of vendors, and scare away any rain clouds. By the 8 AM opening, a full lineup of tailgates was available for
the early-bird shoppers. Business was steady during the whole morn-ing, with many bargain-seekers still shopping and buying past the 1PM closing.

The recent winner of the PHSC Research Award, Edith Cuerrier, writes recently, "A heartfelt thank you for the Research Award which I had the great pleasure of receiving from you recently. I thought you might like to know that I will be attending the Daguerreian Society Symposium in France this Fall and
will put the award funds toward my registration for that event. I hope to meet some of you there, in Paris, perhaps. It is an honour to have my work recognized by your wonderful organisation. I am truly grateful.
Sincerely, Edith Currier"

Ilford Opens Lab in U.S.A.The parent firm of Ilford, HARMAN technology Limited, has announced the availability of processing and printing services based in California, U.S.A. The news release on the Ilford site says the mail-order service will serve "North America."
Ilford have been providing similar services based in England for over 15 years. The service will develop any make of black and white film and print it on "real black and white silver gelatin photo paper," with a claimed normal
turn-around of 2-3 working days in the lab. Two levels of digital scanning are also available with the development service.
An investigation of the online order form reveals that, thankfully, it is set up to deal with both U.S. and Canadian addresses, although the currency is in U.S. dollars. The shipping options do include Canada via USPS. Developing, including medium scans is priced at $16 per roll, with shipping to Canada another $10. Prints start at $8 for 120 format. Options are also
available for push/pull processing and two Ilford paper surfaces. Unfortunately, the postage-paid envelope sticker for sending in film only works in the U.S.
Hopefully this indicates ongoing support for B&W film photographers who do not have their own facilities for development, from a large corporate film manufacturer. Now will the new Kodak/Alaris follow suit?

TOM BOCHSLER’S IMPRESSIVE
THE ART OF INDUSTRYVisit this year’s exhibit at our PHSC Fall Fair. Acclaimed Tom Bochsler of Hamilton will display some 30 prints of his industrial and mining photography that have won international awards. – Curated by Chelsea Jeffrey
ALL PHOTOGRAPHS COPYRIGHT
TOM BOCHSLERTom will have copies of his book at the Fair for you to
buy and have autographed for you
With some 50 years of experience as a professional photographer, Tom Bochsler of Hamilton has set to pages a collection of his best images to show the artistic values that can be obtained in commercial and industrial photography. Arranged in chronological order the pictures progress from his early Speed Graphic film days through to the digital age. Much Black and White predominates in the early portion and are succulent in their reproduction with rich blacks.
I came to know Tom through his photographs entered in the
annual competitions and salons of the Professional Photographers of Canada. Many of the images are prize winning entries. It was easy to recognize a “Bochsler” print through his good eye for composition and the sparkling lighting of heavy industrial machinery.
As photography slips into a new era this image collection will increase in historical value, preserving a record of the industries served by Mr. Bochsler and the places he captured with his artistic eye – R. Lansdale

FROM THE NET by Robert Lansdale
CNET Asia writes: Polaroid announced a new instant camera, the Polaroid 300. At first glance, you may mistake it for the Fujifilm Instax Mini, but that is only
because the new Polaroid shoot-er was indeed developed in part-nership with Fujifilm, which explains the similarity in camera design and technology.
It is unclear whether the Polaroid 300 will accept the same Instax Mini film used for the Fujifilm equivalent. But if you dive into the technical specifications, you'd realize that both snappers have the same features. The Polaroid 300 will be available in the UK for approximately US$90, and the Polaroid 300 instant film will cost US$20 for a pack of 10 photos.
Lomographic Society's Diana is known for its quirky colors, out-of-focus shots and often unex-pected results, thanks to the plas-tic body and lens construction.
Now, the company has developed a camera back to attach to the Diana and this device accepts the Fujifilm Instax photo paper, which is the modern equivalent to Polaroid. Therefore you can expect the same dreamy results as you would when shooting with film on the Lomo camera.
However, this attachment
doesn't come cheap. Listed at US$95 on Lomo's Web site, it is approximately the cost of a Fujifilm instant shooter. Of course, you'll get all the trademark effects of the Diana, which hardcore Lomo fans are sure to appreciate.
Fujifilm's FinePix Real 3D W1 may be a step toward 3D imaging for the masses, though you'd need other peripherals in order to enjoy the pictures in their full glory. Culture blog Pink Tentacles stum-bled across some old Japanese stereoscopic photos on Flickr
posted by Rob Oechsle, and did some clever GIF animation to make them appear 3D to viewers.
Stereoscopic pictures are taken by two cameras placed side by side and give a slightly different view from each other. When seen through a 3D viewer which com-bines the two pictures into one, it creates a depth-of-field effect. In this case, the GIF animation does just that without the need for a viewer. This is because it is set to switch at a certain speed, which can fool our eyes into perceiving that we are really seeing only one picture.
We'll leave you to see the rest of the images at this web site: ht tp : / /as ia .cne t .com/see-3d-photos-wi thout -us ing-3d-glasses-62109871.htm
Stereography, in which two cameras take photos simulating the perspective of two human eyes, has been used to create 3D imagery since the 19th century. Russ Beinder spotted a more modern approach with a photog-
rapher using two modern digital SLRs conjoined with a Sports Illustrated-labeled rig.
Judging by the photograph,
the camera appears to have two high-end Nikon dSLRs attached together, the left one upside-down, perhaps to keep the image sensors closer together like human eyes. It appears the two 24-70mm lenses' zoom control rings are linked with a belt-and-gear device to keep them in step. Professional photographers are a proving ground for new photo equipment.
Panasonic took the wraps off its latest mirrorless interchange-able lens camera, the Lumix DMC-GX7. The new Lumix comes with many of the familiar features found
in the recent Lumix DMC-G6 shooter, including Focus Peaking (for focus precision), Wi-Fi with NFC (for use with smartphones) as well as customizable buttons and onscreen tabs. There is also the usual suite of in-camera tools such as Clear Retouch (to remove unwanted objects in a picture) and Creative Panorama (for shooting panoramic scenes with consecu-tive shots).

WHAT DO YOU THINK?John Krug who hosts the web
site Photographersofontario.ca has raised a query about several want ads that ran in a Hamilton paper when James Inglis decided to establish a gallery there in 1871. Inglis had started in St. Catharines 1863-65 but established a studio in Montreal in 1866. He competed with William Notman photographi-cally as well as verbally entering into a bitter tiff when both initiated a composite photograph of the Victoria Skating Rink event in 1870.
The recently established branch studio of Notman & Fraser in Toronto got wind of Inglis' start-up in Hamilton so they ran an ad in that city's paper on January 1st, 1871. They informed the public that in the Provincial Exhibition of the previous October N&F had won first prize in six categories with Inglis coming second in all but one where Inglis did not show.
This low blow was a month before Inglis would have his photo-graphic rooms ready at 10 King Street West on January 29. On February 3, 1871, Inglis informed the public that his (noted compos-ite) "Skating Carnival" was now on exhibition at the Hamilton location.
It seems that Inglis had acquired Samuel Jarvis to run the Hamilton studio after his leaving the employ of William Notman in October 1870. Why did he leave?
Did he go directly to Inglis for a job then get moved to Hamilton? And why did they choose Hamilton?
So it seems the animosity in Monteal was carried up to Ontario with Fraser instigating the deni-grating ad in distant Hamilton. Was there animosity between Fraser and Jarvis?
This N&F ad was erroneous in the last-named category of Composition (assembled photo-graphs) where Inglis was actually the sole winner. There were addi-tional "Extra" categories but N&F failed to mention any of them. This fail-to-win must have been partic-ularly galling to N&F because the entire brouhaha in Montreal was about a "composite" the idea of which came from Inglis.
Also John Krug has added some data and group photographs of the Photographic Association of Canada to his web site at: http://photographersofontario.
ca/index.php/PAC See the bot-tom of that page. The PAC was one of the earliest associations in Canada for professional photogra-phers. They exist today as the Professional Photographers of Ontario. He is wondering if any one can contribute names to the pictures. Early group photographs are wanted as well as identified portraits of the executive officers.
EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY IN KINGSTON – from the Daguerreotype to the Postcard
by Jennifer McKendry is available for $24.00 plus postage from 1 Baiden Street, Kingston, Ont., K7M 2J7. The book has new material encom-passing photographic history from the Daguerreotype to the Postcard. Sections: "Kingston Photographers in alphabetic order," "Early Postcards," an "Appendix" and "Index" follow.
George Layne of Rochester better known as "Captain Kodak" sent two commemorative envelopes marking the 125th Anniversary of the U.S. Trademark #15,825 which gave exclusive rights for the word "Kodak" to the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company in July 18, 1888. An additional envelope bears an image of the original Kodak camera that was produced between 1888 and 1889, made by Frank Brownell for the Eastman Dry Plate Company. Loaded with film for 100 exposures, it was the first commercially successful camera to use roll film. Our thanks to George for the gift and for reminding us of the anniversaries.

A recent daguerreotype acqui-sition is from an estate in the Wingham, Ontario area according to the dealer. This ninth plate image a young man, probably in his twenties, has a tied bow at his neck. I could imagine that he had presented it to his sweetheart as a token of devotion. The glitzy mat denotes a time in the 1860s.
On opening the back of the dag I was surprised to find two small pieces of paper. One, a clip-ping from a newspaper with a poem that read:
HOMETake the bright shell
From its home on the lea, And, wherever it goes, It will sing of the sea. So take the fond heart
From its home and its hearth, It will sing of the loved To the ends of the earth.
Another was a folded scrap of paper dated on the back as AUG 1861 reads:Tis true no other form but thine
It had a charm for me Tis time love reared a holy shrine
At which I worshiped thee–On the front dated JAN 1865
was this pencilled poem:Thou has wounded the spirit
that loved thee And cherished thine image
for years – Thou hast taught me at last to
forget thee In secret, in silence, & tears –
Tragic tones with all too many possibilities of the times. /RL

The newest issue of Photographic Canadiana Vol. 39-2 will soon be in the hands of paid mem-bers of the PHSC. After a summer layover/holiday we've created a number
of interesting articles. John Kantymir has dug through his treasures to come up with four Ansco Memo cameras. We have the story of their entry into the 35mm camera market in 1927. Since it is hard to distin-guish the cameras in B&W we herein show you the diminutive cameras in colour. Willie Nassau relates the history of the Eumig Corporation and his personal use of the Eumig C16 cine camera for the fledgling Austrian television. The three-part thesis on the Stanhope is completed with this issue as sol Legault explains how he photo-graphed their miniscule images. Other arti-cle as well complete the issue with a mys-
tery photograph, a report of Toronto meet-ings and George Dunbar's Browsing through our Exchanges. I'm sure you won't want to miss it.
