The Photographic History Society of New England (PHSNE) will hold its annual Photographica Show at Newton North High School (475 Walnut Street) on Saturday, April 20, 9AM-4PM, followed by a camera auction at 4:30PM.
Photographica is dedicated this year to the memory of Henry Weisenburger, one of the founders of PHSNE in 1973.
The show will have photographic dealers buying and selling all manner of photographic equipment, primarily film cameras, as well as photographic images, from 18th century Daguerreotypes onward. HSNE itself will have a cameras for sale, at a Bargain table ($5 to $50 items) , a Dollar table (opens at 11AM, selling photographic accessories for $1 each), and tables with cameras from PHSNE itself and many from the estate of Henry Weisenburger.
Not all dealers take credit cards or Apple Pay, and there are no ATMs at the high school, so perhaps bring cash if you intend to make purchases. Many dealers also buy cameras, so if you have surplus photographic equipment you want to sell, you can bring it to the show to offer to dealers.
Photographica is the largest event of this type in the Northeast. If you have an interest in buying or selling historic photographic equipment or images, this is an event not to miss.
People come to look, learn, buy, sell, and trade camera equipment, images, and ephemera related only to photography. Admission is $5 or free for PHSNE members, teachers, students, and active military — all with current ID.
