THE FOURTH DIMENSION
by Roger W. Hicks
photokina is a month older than I am: the first show was in May, 1950. The show is so vast -- so many halls, often on two floors per hall -- that it is easy to forget this fourth dimension: time.
I've only been going there for 26 years -- and, to be fair, I've missed two in that time, so I've only actually attended 11 shows. But going to the same show, every two years (with gaps), for about 46% of my life, means that I don't view it quite the same way as those with less of a history. I'm not alone. The late Bert Keppler; Arnold Crane, with whom I renew my acquaintance every two years; they know (or knew) far more about the show than I.
