Photographically Vancouver is in a privileged position. It has at least 3 working photolabs, several camera stores, and we must not forget that jewel, Beau Photo. It is partly a museum of film cameras; it has the latest available films, plus all kinds of modern digital equipment. And the people working there know their stuff.
In my projection of 6×7 cm Mamiya RB-67 slides, I will be using a Linhof projector with a Leica lens. Those present will have to decide how they compare with digital ones.
A photographer is as good as his last photographs. Using 20th & 21st century technology I will show new stuff made possible with products that I buy at Beau Photo like inkjet transparency material. With my Epson scanner I can convert colour, negs, b+w negs and digital photographs into slides. My projection should be a short one but I will make myself available to answer questions.
The bulk of my slides will be portraits that I have taken in Vancouver since 1977.
Alex Waterhouse-Hayward started as a stills photographer shooting CBC drama and variety shows; but magazines were his passion. Since the late 70s he has shot for almost every magazine and newspaper in Canada, as well as Time, New York Times, Vanity Fair, Stern, the Guardian, Globe & Mail and many more. In 2001, Canada Post issued four rose stamps that he photographed. He has shown at the Simon Patrich Gallery, the Exposure Gallery and the Presentation House (now The Polygon Gallery). For 13 years he taught photography for the Outreach Program of Emily Carr University and has also taught at Focal Point. He is currently collaborating work with Vancouver based Argentine painters Nora Patrich and Juan Manuel Sanchez.
