J.  Group Photo at Toronto City Hall (Nathan Phillips Square) - 7 June 2017

1 Photographer Dan Weaver and Sarah Knight, prepare for photo



2 Scene at Toronto City Hall prior to arrival of CMOS delegates



3 Copy of photo with no alterations and all background



4 Copy of whole photo including only the CMOS delegates



(in 3 & 4, note the people in the back, centre who were trying to make the word "CMOS" with their upraised hands.  #5 below shows their best effort in perspective)


5. Photo participants try to make "CMOS" with their upraised arms

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of CMOS an attempt was made to photograph the entire congress.  This has not been attempted since the 1967 and 1968 congresses.

The group photo, taken near Toronto city hall, has been divided into three parts with templates made for identification.
