PHSNE is on break until September, when we’ll return with more of the fabulous photographic programming you love! We had a fantastic 2025-2026 season, one of the highlights being this year’s Photographica. Here’s a note from show manager John Dockery to recap this year’s show:

Over 730 people showed up for this one day camera and image show. That’s over 100 more attendees than we had last year!

Almost 100 tables of photographing material were in the hall. The attendees had a lot of quality items to select from. We even had a photographer making tin types of people at the show.  

The amount of young people at the show was amazing. We have a new trend developing with young people becoming involved in film photography. The dealers confirmed that this is an actual trend that they are seeing in their own businesses and at other shows. Young people learning and enjoying film photography doesn’t seem to be a fad. PHSNE is very well positioned to benefit from this trend for the foreseeable future. 

The dealers that I spoke to all had a very successful and profitable show. Not only were there a lot of attendees, the attendees were attendees who brought money and were buying camera equipment. The show was capped off by our pizza party and camera auction, which was fairly well attended. 

I look forward to seeing everyone who was there, along with everybody who couldn’t be there, in April 2027. I wish to thank everyone who had a hand in making this Photographica so successful. It was a great day!
