In addition... don't let the party poopers and critics in here who lack a sense of humor and appreciation for retro photography, and who take this too seriously, drag you down. Keep it up and post some more shots.

Cheers, Osku]]>

What a great idea. Good fun. What's the cost of an internet connection from the ethereal world? Also, it must be an "ethernet" connection. LOL! Getting tech support must be messy - especially if a techie has to come onsight, does the techie have to die? Heheh.

Cheers, Osku]]>

I am quite surprised that pjs_deceased is even bringing himself to communicate through the internet since he is so pissed off with the digital age. In keeping to his form, he should be relying on telegrams. It is a wonder he even accepted aviation enough to spend money on the shutter click.]]>

How dare this (former?) guy use one of those newfangled digital scanners and turn those fabulous prints into jpegs? & uh, perhaps some colour and contrast correction, ...err, most certainly some cropping (those corners look mighty clean!). Oy, I hear he's also really big on tape hiss and pines for that sweet 8-track cassette sound as he spins in his grave. ]]>

Because in the original quote it was written "belive" and I accidentally corrected it when I ran spell-check. I've unfixed it so now it reads correctly incorrectly. :P]]>

FYI

I have established contact with PJS via Flickr mail and he has given me a green light to post his responses to our questions. When he does, I'll be sure to come back here and update the article.

Please stand by... ]]>

This is all someone's idea of a "conceptual" stand on digital photography... but please do note that the disgruntled malcontent behind it is using digital technology (um, Flickr?) to stage their conceptual filibuster. Only he/she/it can tell you whether in so doing they are being doubly ironic, or just pointlessly hypocritical. ]]>

seriously though, who cares about the artistic merit of these photos? there's nothing better than photographs from the 50s and 60s. and they're from a torontonian, to boot!]]>

Jerrold, clearly I was humouring myself. Have you not heard me make fun of hippies for their acid-trip-worthy beliefs? Have you already forgotten my shit disturber ways? FOR SHAME! 

And the only reason I picked on him was because he's dead, and the dead can't fight back. A better reason there is not!

Unless you bring his casket on Saturday, open it up, and he comes out flailing with a machete on a chain. Then I'll regret I said anything for my own amusement.

I read his profile and looked through the 7 pages of photos. Some weird hair dos in there...]]>

Ryan, clearly I'm humouring whoever is posting on behalf of PJS.

Also, if you'd read his profile, you'd find that says the following:

<i>"I wasn't exceptionally talented and I could never have made a living at [photography]..."</i>

So really there's no need to pick on his skills or lack thereof. 

:)]]>

And I suppose it never once occurred to you that a living person ISN'T uploading the photos to flickr? Seriously, the guy is dead, why report otherwise? Is it that hard to believe that something paranormal, unquantifiable and unrepeatable is happening? You disgust me blogTO.

On a separate note, modern digital photographers didn't invent photography, but they've certainly proved better at it than PJS ever was. Go ahead, look at the toronto-related flickr pools and tell me otherwise.]]>

What I've found from within his Flickr stream so far is the following:

- He goes by PJS. These might be his initials.
- in 1952 he married Helen Bernice Montgomery, sister of Ethel and Catherine
- a number of photos were taken in Scarborough (which may suggest that he lived there)
- Jack and Jean were his brother and sister
- his father's name was Percy

How do we know that he's dead? have you confirmed that he's deceased? or is he allegedly dead?

and that sounds like Downtown Dan to me! :P ]]>
