Re: First Annual APUG Conference in Toronto Canada May 4-7, 2006
Film is a Alive and well, and having a party in Toronto!
On May 4th through 7th 2006 in Toronto Ontario Canada, the Analog Photography Users Group (apug.org) in partnership with J and C Photo will be holding a conference for amateur and professional photographers to celebrate and promote the use of film in the medium of photography. The APUG conference will be based at the Elevator Gallery (elevatordigital.ca) a multi use facility which is 15 minutes from Toronto’s downtown core.
The APUG conference will have 17 workshops including street photography, cross processing, lith printing, studio portraiture, solarization, introduction to large format photography, carbon printing and numerous portfolio reviews. The instructors who will be leading the workshops include Les McLean, Sandy King, Tim Rudman, Paula Chamlee, Michael A. Smith and many others. The workshops will be half day in length, further details and enrollment information can be found on www.apug.org/conference. Other events open to all conference attendees include two round table discussions, demonstrations, lectures, photo tours of Toronto, Forks of the Credit Provincial Park and Contact Festival Gallery Tours.
In addition to the workshops, lectures, and photo outings, there will be a Contact 2006 Photography Festival registered photography exhibition, silent auction, product venders, food, music, and most importantly, round the clock lab services available to all attendees.
The Analog Photography Users Group is an over 10,000 member (and growing), online community founded in September of 2002. Apug’s main tenet is to provide “an international community for like minded individuals devoted to traditional photographic processes.” Detailed information on all film formats and types, printing shooting, philosophy are just some of the topics covered by and for the professional and amateur photographer. The forum is subdivided into different areas of interest including developing and lab work, film and paper, camera equipment and collecting, and philosophy of photography. APUG is based on open and subscription based membership with members worldwide. The site features English, French and Nederlandse (Dutch) speaking Forums, multiple online photo galleries, and a variety of off line member organized activities.
Elevator, founded in 1999 by Bob Carnie and Kevin Viner is located on 42 Industrial Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4G 1Y9 and is the base of operations for the APUG forum on May 4th to 7th, 2006. The facility features on site gallery, photo studio, traditional film (black & white and color) processing, color exhibition printing in RA4 and IlfoChrome/Cibachrome materials, black and white exhibition printing traditional and alternative processes and materials, framing and digital print solutions for photographers and visual artists.
J and C Photo, based in Overland Park Kansas specialize in the sales of "old style" high silver content black and white formulations in all film formats. Including brands from Efke, Adox, Foma, Lucky, Kodak, Ilford, J and C; to black and white photo papers, fibre based papers from cold to warm tone; and chemicals for developing. Founded in response to a lack of "old formula" black and white film on the market, J and C Photo conducts business over the Internet world-wide and will have a presence at the APUG conference.
