Inclusio, a fully accessible residence in Calgary and home to 45 adult residents with limited mobility, opened in April 2018 with cutting-edge technology and a spectacular view.
But the residence needed “art” to grace its bare walls and create a feeling of home for the residents.
The need to “warm the walls of Inclusio” was brought to the attention of the Foothills Camera Club in April 2018 by Keith and Kathleen Nicholson through family friend and club member Cathy Lockerby. The Nicholson’s son, Jason, is an Inclusio resident.
The “Images for Inclusio” project was quickly adopted by the Foothills club, which two years earlier had provided images for Calgary’s homeless shelters.
In February 2019, 54 images were donated by 34 Foothills Camera Club members and 10 members hung the photographs that now brighten the public spaces of the residence.
“I’m proud to be associated with our Foothills Camera Club, which for the last few years has donated framed photographs back into the community to enrich the lives of others,” says club past president Bill Cubitt.

Focus Camera Club celebrate its 50th anniversary
Very few of us know when, where, who, and how The Focus Camera Club started. We shall start with an article by Robert Saulnier, published in “The Focal Point” in 2003. In this article Vanier LeBlanc, an Eaton’s employee, was credited as one of the main “founding fathers” of the Focus camera club.
Through interviewing Mr. LeBlanc’s widow, Robert discovered that in the early 1950’s, a group of photographers lead by her husband, wishing to share experiences and ideas, started meeting in Reid’s Photography’s basement on Main street. The group had neither name nor formal structure at first. With Roland Maurice MD and Rhéal Bourgeois as his accomplices, the Club had finally taken shape by the early 1970’s. At that time, under the insightful guidance and hard work of Brian Townsend, photography courses and workshops were offered and field trips organized. The club grew and consequently, executives were elected, a constitution developed and committees were formed. From Reid’s Photography basement, the group started meeting at the George-L.-Dumont Hospital and, according to Clarence Nowlan, after loosing this meeting place moved to the City Hospital before finally settling in to its present home at the Université de Moncton, in the Rémi Rossignol science building in 1984.
Looking back at the past 50 years, the club had numerous highlights and achievements. Among them, was the hosting of the Canada Camera Conference (CAPA) in August 1997. With the aid of Stephan Reebs’s notes, we confirmed that it was held on the Université de Moncton campus and that the conference executive consisted of 14 Focus members. Numerous field trips and workshops were organized for the 150 conference participants such as, an introduction to infrared photography, visits to Shamper’s Bluff, Campobello, Hopewell Cape, and Cape Enragé to name a few. According to the CAPA president, all in attendance enjoyed the true maritime “joie de vivre” and hospitality, Focus professionalism and expertise, and the meals.
From its 67 members in 2003, with an average of 25 members attending regular meetings, the Focus club’s membership grew to 160 on this 50th anniversary year with meeting attendance reaching up to 100 active photographers.
Looking ahead, there are still many exciting challenges facing the club, we wish all its members a happy 50th and remind each and everyone that participation is the key to a successful and positive experience…
To celebrate a special exhibit took place at the Moncton Public Library for the mount of Marsh.
Très peu d’entre nous connaissent quand, où, qui, et comment le ‘’Focus Camera Club’’ a débuté. Nous commencerons par un article de Robert Saulnier, publié dans ” The Focus Point” en 2003. Dans cet article, Vanier LeBlanc, un employé d’Eaton, a été crédité comme l’un des principaux « pères fondateurs » du Focus Camera Club.
En questionnant la veuve de M. LeBlanc, Robert a découvert que, au début des années 1950, un groupe de photographes conduit par son mari, désireux de partager des expériences et des idées, a commencé à se réunir sur la rue Main, dans le sous-sol du photographe Reid. Au début, le groupe n’avait ni nom et ni une structure formelle. Avec Roland Maurice MD et Rhéal Bourgeois comme complices, le club a finalement pris forme au début des années 1970. À cette époque, sous la direction perspicace et le travail acharné de Brian Townsend, des cours de photographie et des ateliers ont été offerts incluant des excursions organisées. Le Club a grandi et par conséquent, des administrateurs furent élus, une charte fut développée et des comités furent formés. Du sous-sol du photographe Reid, le groupe a commencé à se réunir à l’hôpital George-L.-Dumont et, d’après Clarence Nowlan, obligé de quitter ce lieu de rencontre, le Club a déménagé à l’Hôpital Municipal avant de s’installer à son domicile actuel à l’Université de Moncton, dans le bâtiment scientifique Rémi Rossignol en 1984.
En examinant notre histoire au cours des 50 dernières années, le Club a eu de nombreux faits saillants et réalisations. Parmi ceux-ci, fut d’être l’hôte de la Conférence Canadienne de la photographie de l’ACAP (Canadian Camera Conférence) en août 1997. À l’aide des notes de Stephan Reebs, nous savons qu’elle a eu lieu sur le campus de l’Université de Moncton et que la direction de la Conférence était composé de 14 membres du club Focus. De nombreuses excursions et ateliers ont été organisés pour les 150 participants à la Conférence, comme une introduction à la photographie infrarouge, des visites, pour n’en nommer que quelques-unes, Shamper’s Bluff, Campobello, Hopewell Cape et Cap Enragé. Selon le Président de la l’ACAP, tous les participants ont bénéficié de la véritable « joie de vivre » maritime, de la gastronomie, de l’hospitalité, du professionnalisme et de l’expertise du Focus Camera Club.
De ses 67 membres en 2003, avec une moyenne de 25 membres participants aux réunions, l’effectif du Club focus s’est accru à 160 membres en ce 50e anniversaire avec une participation aux réunions atteignant jusqu’à 100 photographes actifs.
En regardant vers l’avenir, le Club perçoit de nombreux défis passionnants, nous souhaitons à tous ses membres un Joyeux 50e et rappelle à chacun de ses membres que la participation est la clé d’une expérience réussie et positive…
Pour célébrer son anniversaire, une exposition spéciale a eu lieu à la bibliothèque publique de Moncton durant le mois de mars.
The following is from Bob Ito’s speech at the gathering on May 18, 2019. CAPA presented a posthumous Distinguished Service Award to Fred. The award is secondary to the primary goal of giving appropriate recognition to a great photographer and inspiring teacher and leader.
My name is Bob Ito. I am here to represent CAPA, the Canadian Association for Photographic Art. I have been a volunteer with CAPA for almost as long as I have known Fred and I have known Fred for more than 40 years. In fact, I first met Fred at a CAPA conference in 1977. CAPA was called NAPA at that time.
As a member of the CAPA Board of Directors I have the honour to present the highest award that CAPA gives out, the CAPA Distinguished Service Award to Fred, posthumously, in recognition of Fred’s contributions to photography in Canada. This award has only been given out three times in the history of CAPA.
So what this award is about?
“The Distinguished Service Award is granted to CAPA members who have consistently given unselfishly of themselves to nurture CAPA or individuals, in the furtherance of CAPA’s photographic ideals”.
The operative word here is “unselfishly” and this word epitomizes Fred.
We should have presented the award when Fred was still with us, but Fred was never a collector of awards and consequently no one thought of nominating Fred for the award earlier.
Please allow me to relate some of Fred’s contributions to CAPA and to photography in Canada.
Fred’s greatest contribution to CAPA was his ability to inspire, influence and motivate photographers through his images, through his mentoring, through his teaching and in freely sharing his knowledge. He made people laugh, he made people think and he made people care. He was a true gentleman and friend.
His images speak for themselves and do not need medals or ribbons to proclaim excellence. We have already seem some examples of Fred’s photographic work today and there are many more examples to come today.
Fred is Canada’s version of Ansel Adams, complete with trademark beard. I took Ansel Adams’ last workshop in 1983. While I have long admired Ansel’s images, what impressed me most was that he had no secrets and freely shared his knowledge and vision.
Like Ansel, Fred had no secrets on photographic locations, photographic techniques or in sharing his vision. He has led at least 75 field trips to various locations . He has judged and critiqued at many, many clubs and other venues to share his knowledge, wisdom and vision..
In 1986 CAPA held the largest photographic conference in its history. While I was chair of this conference, it was Fred who gathered together the many volunteers that made the conference a success.
Fred was Pacific Zone Director for more than 10 years and is largely responsible for making the Pacific Zone the largest photographic community in Canada with more clubs and more individual members than Ontario which has 3 times the population.
So Fred’s legacy is his influence and impact on the lives of so many in the photographic community. To paraphrase the great Greek statesman, Pericles:
I think that you will agree with me that Fred is deserving of this award .
So Greg please accept this award, not as a trophy, but as a symbol of the lasting impact that Fred has woven into the lives of others, not only in BC but throughout Canada.
PLEASE JOIN FRED’S FAMILY AND FRIENDS AT A “ REMEMBERING FRED GATHERING”
On May 18 2019 in Burnaby B.C., from 12:30 to 3:30. Program starts at 1:00 pm

CAPA will be presenting a posthumous Distinguished Service Award to Fred at the gathering on May 18. The award is secondary to the primary goal of giving appropriate recognition to a great photographer and inspiring teacher and leader.
FRED CHAPMAN
May 17,1923 – April 16, 2018
Friend, Artist, Teacher, Craftsman
Lover of Nature
Photographer
Fred’s first love was the outdoors. Nature with its inherent patterns, colours and mysteries were his earliest inspirations. Throughout his life, he expressed this love in his images, shared his enthusiasm with others, and contributed to the development of photography in Canada.
In 1970, Fred organized the Burnaby Camera Club – now Burnaby Photographic Society. He was a member of the Burnaby Arts Council, the Photographic Council of BC, the fledgling NAPA now CAPA and a long time member of Western Photographic Circle. Fred was Pacific Zone Director for NAPA thru the 80’s and was instrumental in instigating field trips, workshops, and print shows across BC, culminating with a multi year run of the “BC PHOTOGRAPHERS” annual show at Robson Square. Fred toured BC with his two projector instructional slide sets and co-led the NAPA Camera Canada College 86. Well into his 80s, he co-founded the BPS Photo Friday group.
Fred started with B&W printing and moved on to Cibachrome colour printing. At 84 he got his first digital camera and computer. PhotoShop opened a new world of opportunities. Fred exhibited his work at Burnaby, Surrey and Richmond galleries as well as farther afield.
Fred made people laugh, he made people think, and he made people care. From his first young protege in 1973 to the last years of his long life, learning, teaching and mentoring were always more important than a box full of ribbons.
This modified quote from Pericles seems to sum up Fred’s enduring influence:
PLEASE JOIN FRED’S FAMILY AND FRIENDS AT A “REMEMBERING FRED GATHERING”

Celebrating Local Photographers on the Sunshine Coast
For the 5th consecutive year, the Sunshine Coast Shutterbugz Camera Club will participate in the “Celebrating Local Photographers” event held at the Sunnycrest Mall in Upper Gibsons, BC in early June. Organised by the Photographic Department of the local London Drugs store on the lower Sunshine Coast, this event has grown in participation over the last few years. Typically, the Sunshine Coast Shutterbugz club would show between forty-five and fifty photos of different sizes, all mounted on foamcore board courtesy of London Drugs.
Open to public viewing over a four-day weekend, this display of local photographic work will occupy a section of un-leased retail space that is secured overnight. A roster of club members is established so that someone is always available to answer questions about any of the photos or about the club itself. This is also a win-win opportunity for London Drugs as they use the floor space to display patio furniture for sale, or for visitors to sit on while they view the display. Any of the local photographers may also offer their photos for sale to the public.

“It’s not a coincidence that CCC2019 is happening just after the world famous Calgary Stampede. What better way to start off the conference than coming for the last weekend of the Stampede to wander around the fair grounds, take in the rodeo and chucks, enjoy the First Nations Pow Wow and blacksmith competition and many other exciting events.
The Stampede is a fantastic place to be entertained, eat mini-donuts or something more adventurous (think crickets and prairie oysters) and to shoot thousands of images. And if you still have some energy, stick around after dark to capture stunning night shots of the colourful carnival rides and the finale fireworks. Come experience the Stampede and see why it’s a bucket list destination for visitors from around the world.”
The Pacific Zone Print Challenge has come and gone for another year.
The prints were set up in randomized order around the well-lit room. One of our judges (Bob Ito) was unable to come from Vancouver because of the weather. Ismail Farahani stepped in to judge for us. Ruby Jaggernath arrived from Abbotsford. The judges had plenty of time to view the prints before scoring began in the light box.
16 Clubs participated in the competition, some with 4, 6, 7 prints, the remainder with 10 prints. Several out of town clubs participated: Vernon, Sunshine Coast, Prince George, Victoria.
Saturday, the prints were arranged on tables in club order. Guests began to arrive after 12:15 with plenty of time to view the prints and socialize. About 1:15 we began viewing the projected prints and announcing the scores. We had two breaks with refreshments followed by the Awards Ceremony. 75 attended this event, including our Darkroom Group who really enjoys hosting the competition each year.
The winning clubs were Lions Gate Camera Club and Chung Ai Photo Society, both with 235.5 points and tied for Gold. Victoria Camera Club came in third (Bronze) with 234.5 points.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada… Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival today announced that renowned American artist Carrie Mae Weems will headline the 23rd edition of the city-wide event spanning the month of May 2019. Weems’ exhibition in five parts, sited at distinct locations across the city, represents the artist’s first solo exhibition in Canada.
In addition to Weems, a selection of North American and international lens-based artists will present a diversity of projects in museums, galleries, and public spaces across Toronto. The preliminary list of artists includes Taysir Batniji, Moyra Davey, Weronika Gesicka, Mike Hoolboom and Jorge Lozano, Ayana V. Jackson, Sanaz Mazinani, Meryl McMaster, Nadia Myre, Louie Palu, Sputnik Photo Collective, Michael Tsegaye, and Carmen Winant.
Critically acclaimed and recently chosen by T: The New York Times Style Magazine as one of the “The Greats” in the creative sector in 2018, Weems is among the most acclaimed photographers and multi-media artists of her generation. Her work explores the human experience by revealing different aspects of society and the role of systemic power, both historically and today. Since Weems began her practice in the late 1970’s, she has examined and expanded visual narratives of gender, family, racism, class, and identity, and investigated themes of social inequity and injustice, environmental degradation, conflict, and violence. Although addressing a wide array of issues, her overarching commitment is to help us better understand our present moment by examining our collective past. Often produced in series, her work is exhibited and collected by major museums and galleries around the globe.
Artistic Director Bonnie Rubenstein said, “CONTACT has chosen to place a spotlight on Carrie Mae Weems in 2019 to highlight the significant depth, breadth, and power of her oeuvre; her importance as a groundbreaking artist of the 20th and 21st centuries; and her work’s ongoing critical relevance.”
Weems’ work will be presented in two gallery exhibitions during CONTACT 2019, including a new iteration of her recent multi-layered project Heave (2018), at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto. The installation incorporates photography, video, text, spoken word, music, projection along with design and architectural strategies to probe the devastating effects of violence in our lives.
Additionally, the CONTACT Gallery will display a series of Weems’ photographic works and present three major public art installations in downtown locations including the exterior of the TIFF Bell Lightbox, the headquarters of the Toronto International Film Festival.
CONTACT executive director Darcy Killeen said, “We are delighted to welcome Carrie Mae Weems—one of the most influential artists of our times—to our city and to the 2019 Festival. We are also pleased to offer a preview of the exciting line-up of participating artists coming to Toronto next May. We look forward to working with them, many of whom will create site-specific works for our primary exhibitions and public installations. The CONTACT team is also thrilled to welcome back many of our long-standing partners and sponsors who continue to support one of the world’s top photography festivals.”
Moyra Davey (Canadian, based in New York), winner of the 2018 Scotiabank Photography Award, will be featured in a two-part retrospective exhibition at Ryerson Image Centre. Davey explores notions of intimacy and unseen, ordinary, and often overlooked moments.
Michael Tsegaye (Ethiopian) will present two bodies of work from his ongoing series Future Memories at BAND Gallery. Future Memories is an exploration of the metamorphosis and redevelopment occurring in Addis Ababa threatening the city’s identity and collective memory.
CONTACT fosters and celebrates the art and profession of photography with its annual Festival in May and year-round programming in the CONTACT Gallery in Toronto. CONTACT presents lens-based works by acclaimed and emerging artists, documentary photographers, and photojournalists from Canada and around the world. The curated program of primary exhibitions (collaborations with major museums, galleries, and artist-run centers), and public installations (site-specific public art projects), are the core of the Festival. These are cultivated through partnerships, commissions, and new discoveries, framing the cultural, social, and political events of our times. The featured and open exhibitions present a range of works by local and international artists at leading galleries and alternative spaces across the city. CONTACT also includes a wide range of events including a book fair, lectures, talks, panels, workshops, and symposia during the Festival and hosts exhibitions and programs at its Gallery throughout the year.
CONTACT, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1997, is generously supported by Scotiabank, Scotia Wealth Management, Nikon Canada, Pattison Outdoor Advertising, Vistek, Toronto Image Works, The Gilder, Transcontinental PLM, 3M Canada, BIG Digital, Waddington’s Auctioneers and Appraisers, Four By Eight Signs, Beyond Digital Imaging, Steam Whistle Brewing, Art Toronto, The Gladstone Hotel, The Globe and Mail, NOW Magazine, CBC Toronto, and Canadian Art.

La zone Québec de l’ACAP a récemment sondé l’intérêt de ses membres pour la participation à un atelier thématique, notamment sur la créativité photographique. Pour des raisons hors du contrôle des organisateurs, l’initiative n’a pu être menée à terme. L’exercice, par contre, a révélé un intérêt marqué pour ce genre d’activité parmi les membres de la zone. En effet, l’appel d’intérêt a généré plus de réponses positives que de places prévues à l’atelier. La direction de la zone retient donc l’idée d’un atelier
thématique et propose de relancer une telle initiative dans un avenir prochain.
CAPA’s Québec Zone recently asked its members for a show of interest for attending a thematic workshop, specifically, one dealing with creativity in photography. For reasons beyond the organizers’ control, the workshop could not be carried out as planned. The survey did reveal, however, a definite interest for this type of event on the part of members of the Zone. In fact, the call for participation generated more positive responses than the number of places allocated for the workshop. The zone
administration has therefore retained the idea of a thematic workshop and proposes to launch one such initiative in the near future.
is sponsored by the Niagara Frontier Regional Camera Clubs
The Niagara Frontier Regional Camera Clubs (NFRCC) were established to be a unique bi-national photographic organization whose members include both amateur and professional photographers. The NFRCC is made up of 18 individual camera and photography clubs, in Western NY, Pa and Southern Ontario Canada.
