The Yachting <strong>Photography</strong> of<br />
Willard B. Jackson<br />
At the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA<br />
Opens May 20, <strong>2006</strong><br />
Experience the beauty and power of yachting through the lens of one of America’s<br />
pioneer yachting photographers, Willard B. Jackson. Shooting on the waters off<br />
Marblehead, Mass., between 1898 and 1937, Jackson captured the many dimensions<br />
of New England yachting with meticulous artistry—from graceful boat designs to the<br />
exhilaration of the sport and sailors’ deep affinity with their vessels.<br />

from the director<br />
The Mother’s Day Portrait Extravaganza (May 13-14) exemplifies the community’s<br />
support of the Photographic Resource Center. From the time and talent volunteered<br />
by the photographers and photographers’ assistants, to the supplies and<br />
services provided by numerous local and national companies, it is heartening to<br />
see how many people care about this 30-year-old organization.<br />
Out of great respect for this support, and in service to our mission, we are serious<br />
about our role as a center for the New England photography community. We<br />
are proud to champion photography and photographers in every initiative that<br />
we undertake. Whether it is providing regular exhibition opportunities for regional<br />
artists, or properly crediting every photograph on our website or in our printed<br />
materials, we aim to boost awareness of those in this community. We thank all<br />
of you for believing in the PRC’s mission and look forward to serving you for<br />
decades to come.<br />
In other news, the successes of, and overwhelming demand for, some of our<br />
education programs, such as the Portfolio Review Day, have made us take a closer<br />
look at our future programming. We will be further developing and expanding<br />
these programs during the summer months, but are pleased to announce that the<br />
fall lecture series will include photographers Andrea Modica and John Sexton.<br />
Next year’s programming is shaping up to be even more extensive than this year’s!<br />
As always, keep your eye out for future announcements here in the newsletter and<br />
online at prcboston.org.<br />

SMILE WHILE SUPPORTING<br />
THE PRC<br />
The Mother’s Day Portrait Extravaganza<br />

the PRC is bringing the talents of <strong>Boston</strong>’s<br />
elite artistic and commercial photographers<br />
together to create unique fine art portraits of<br />
family and friends. Second only to the PRC<br />
Benefit Auction in fundraising importance,<br />
the Extravaganza is a terrific way for you to<br />

your loved ones. Please turn to page 16, or<br />

THE PRC INTRODUCES NEW<br />
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING<br />
FOR YOUTH.<br />
With a firm commitment to education and<br />
a passion for engaging young people’s<br />
creativity, imagination, and vision through<br />
the power of photography, the PRC is<br />
excited to present a variety of new youth<br />
educational programming, beginning with<br />
the <strong>2006</strong> Summer Photo Camp (see page<br />

from May 8-May 25 due to installation.<br />
PHOTO SLAM! : RECAP<br />
The Paradise Lounge hosted the PRC’s first<br />
Photo Slam! on Monday, April 10th. It was<br />
an hour of enthusiastic art set to wonderfully<br />
bad pop music, and a lot of cowbell (ask<br />
someone who was there). We want to thank<br />
the photographers who dared to PhotoSlam<br />
and the curious audience that showered<br />
them with praise. Monika Ohri of UMass<br />
Lowell walked away with the grand prize,<br />
a round trip to New York on the Fung Wah<br />
Bus. Lounge-goers were also wowed by the<br />
work of Laura Bernier, Kimberly Clemons,<br />
Missy Farmer, Jessica Hassmon, Cailin<br />
Mateleska, Chris Mulready, Sarah Pollman,<br />
John Steck and Marc Sundstrom. Cheer loud<br />
enough, and we may just have another…<br />

Recycled Realities, with John<br />

Free to the public<br />
Join photographers John Willis and Tom<br />
Young for a discussion about their new<br />
book, Recycled Realities, followed by a<br />
book signing with the artists. Near the<br />
photographers’ homes is a paper mill that<br />
sits in the otherwise pristine and picturesque<br />
climes of western Massachusetts.<br />
For Willis and Young, this site is one of both<br />
aesthetic and philosophical contradictions:<br />
despite its verdant locale, the mill—with its<br />
ominous smoke stacks and countless bales<br />
of discarded paper—brings to mind the<br />

Below (inset): Elliott Erwitt and friend.<br />
dreariness of industrialization and the<br />
impermanence of life itself. But the factory<br />
is actually one where such litter is reborn as<br />
reusable paper. Willis and Young’s stunning<br />
black-and-white images, collected in this<br />
unforgettable volume, transform this mill and<br />
the innumerable mounds of recyclable waste<br />
it processes daily into an indelible and<br />
evocative landscape.<br />
“John Willis and Tom Young’s haunting<br />
photographs transform a New England<br />
paper mill factory and it’s mounds of raw<br />
material – recyclable printed matter cast off<br />
from the insatiable publishing industry – into<br />
an evocative archaeological landscape,<br />
a contemporary Babel”<br />

Enjoy an evening with<br />
Elliott Erwitt, the man<br />
who defined the New<br />
York street photography<br />
scene during the mid-<br />
20th century. His famed<br />
images pluck the candid and peculiar<br />
from the everyday and present them with a<br />
wonderful sense of humor and irony. Erwitt<br />
began his career under the mentorship of<br />
legendary photographers Edward Steichen,<br />
Robert Capa, and Roy Stryker. Shortly<br />
thereafter Capa invited Erwitt to join his<br />
agency, Magnum photos. Erwitt’s fine art,<br />
journalistic, and commercial images have<br />
been in exhibitions, books, and publications<br />
around the world. He has been featured in<br />
one-man shows at such prestigious venues<br />
as the Museum of Modern Art, The Chicago<br />
Art Institute, the Smithsonian Institution, the<br />
Barbican in London, and the Royal Photographic<br />
Society in Bath. In the 70s, Erwitt<br />
began making documentary films including<br />
Beauty Knows No Pain and Red White and<br />
Blue Grass. He has also produced numerous<br />
television shows for HBO.<br />

Join us for a captivating talk with the legendary Marie Cosindas.<br />
Known for her amazing portraits and still lives, Cosindas has been<br />
a leading figure in photography for some time. Her portraits are a<br />
venerable who’s who of the arts and include the likenesses of Truman<br />
Capote, Faye Dunaway, Paul Newman, Ezra Pound, Andy Warhol,<br />
and Tom Wolfe, among others. Her work played a critical role in<br />
establishing the use of color in fine art photography during the 1960s<br />
and her solo show at the Museum of Modern Art was one of the<br />
institution’s first to feature color work. In addition to being held by<br />
the Museum of Modern Art, Cosindas’ work is in the collections at<br />
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, <strong>Boston</strong>,<br />
the International Museum of <strong>Photography</strong> at George Eastman House,<br />
and the Art Institute of Chicago.<br />

Yosemite In Time: Ice Ages,<br />
Tree Clocks, Ghost Rivers<br />
by Mark Klett, Rebecca<br />
Solnit, and Byron Wolfe.<br />
San Antonio, Texas: Trinity<br />
University Press, 2005.<br />
BY REBECCA SENF<br />
PHD CANDIDATE, ART HISTORY PROGRAM,<br />
BOSTON UNIVERSITY<br />
Rebecca Solnit, author of Savage Dreams:<br />
A Journey into the Landscape Wars of the<br />
American West (1999), has returned to<br />
California’s Yosemite Valley in her newest<br />
book, Yosemite in Time. This thought-provoking<br />
and beautiful production is the result<br />
of collaboration between Solnit and two<br />
photographers, Mark Klett and Byron<br />
Wolfe. Klett, a Regents’ professor of photography<br />
at Arizona State University, was<br />
part of the 1970s Rephotographic Survey,<br />
in which a team of photographers made<br />
comparative images of the sites of historic<br />
western survey photographs. Developed as<br />
a tool for scientists, particularly geologists,<br />
to compare changes in the landscape,<br />
Klett and other rephotographers made the<br />
process self-reflexive, using it to learn about<br />
the photography as well. Wolfe worked<br />
with Klett on the recent continuation of the<br />
1970s project, in which a third view of<br />
each location was made.<br />
Most of the book’s images are “rephotographs”<br />
by Klett and Wolfe paired with<br />
originals by Eadweard Muybridge,<br />
Carleton Watkins, Edward Weston and<br />
Ansel Adams. The most captivating of these<br />
are the panoramas that incorporate those<br />
earlier pictures into a new photographic<br />
continuum, creating one scene that unites<br />
disparate photographers over distant<br />
decades into one illustration. The lengthy<br />
titles become an important part of each<br />
work, identifying locations and the original<br />
photographers’ views. The results are pleasing<br />
visual puzzles with layers of meaning.<br />
For those interested in photography, Solnit’s<br />
first essay, “Ghost River,” will be the most<br />
compelling of the three. Here she talks about<br />
Muybridge’s photographs of the Valley. She<br />
also positions Watkins, Weston, and Adams<br />
as part of the photographic legacy she,<br />
Klett and Wolfe grappled with in their visits<br />
to Yosemite. In her typically lyrical way she<br />
ruminates broadly on the idea of time, drawing<br />
in various philosophies: is time a river,<br />
a flowing continuum Or is time a series of<br />
discrete moments, like those captured on<br />
photographic film Or perhaps time can be<br />
likened to a tree, infinitely branching out into<br />
new possibilities Balancing specific technical<br />
descriptions of the rephotographic process<br />
with the larger ideas developed during<br />
the team’s days in the Valley, Solnit weaves<br />
a provocative and informative narrative.<br />

MAY 26–JULY 2, <strong>2006</strong> | BY LESLIE K. BROWN, PRC CURATOR<br />
The Photographic Resource Center at <strong>Boston</strong><br />
University is pleased to host an annual juried<br />
exhibition for its members. We were delighted to have Jeanine Fijol,<br />
Photo Editor of Photo District News (PDN) magazine, as the <strong>2006</strong><br />
guest juror. For this year’s exhibition, Fijol selected 12 photographers<br />
out of 268 submissions.<br />
PRC MEMBERS’ SHOW HISTORY<br />
The PRC Members’ Exhibition is a great opportunity to view a slice<br />
of the best and brightest as well as to witness topics in which contemporary<br />
minds are engaged. Further, it is a testament to the depth<br />
of talent in the PRC membership. In total, over 230 photographers<br />
have shown in the PRC Members’ Exhibitions—representing an array<br />
of established photographers and those cited as “ones to watch.”<br />
Past jurors of the PRC Members’ Exhibition have included: Alison<br />
Devine Nordström, Curator of Photographs, George Eastman House<br />
International Museum of <strong>Photography</strong> and Film (Rochester, NY);<br />
Rachel Rosenfield Lafo, Director of Curatorial Affairs at the DeCordova<br />
Museum and Sculpture Park (Lincoln, MA); Chris Enos, artist,<br />
educator, and founder of the PRC; Diana Gaston, then Independent<br />
Curator; Deborah Martin Kao, Curator of <strong>Photography</strong>, Fogg Art<br />
Museum, Harvard University (Cambridge, MA); Richard B. Woodward,<br />
former Editor at Large, Doubletake Magazine; Edward Earle,<br />
Curator of Digital Media, International Center of <strong>Photography</strong> (New<br />
York, NY).<br />
The objective of this prestigious exhibition perhaps rings even more<br />
true today than when it was first announced in 1996: “[the Members’<br />
show] signals the Center’s deepening commitment to area<br />
artists and its support of the range of photography produced in the<br />
New England region.” Join us in congratulating the featured artists of<br />
the PRC’s 11th annual juried exhibition.<br />
ABOUT THE <strong>2006</strong> GUEST JUROR, JEANINE FIJOL<br />
Jeanine Fijol is the photography editor of PDN, based in New York,<br />
NY. She has been on the panel of judges for the “30 Emerging<br />
Photographers” issue, and she manages the artwork for PDN and<br />
PDN Online. Prior to joining the magazine, she worked as an art<br />
buying coordinator at the Young & Rubicam Hispanic division, The<br />

ABOUT THE ARTISTS<br />
Elizabeth Albert BELMONT, MA<br />
Albert’s series addresses everyday moments with her children. To<br />
create her composition, she uses a Holga camera and captures<br />
two scenes over two frames. The overlapping, dreamlike imagery<br />
seems halfway between reality and memory. Albert received her<br />
MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore, MD) and<br />
currently teaches at the Winsor School in <strong>Boston</strong>. She has exhibited<br />
in numerous juried shows, including the Danforth Museum of Art<br />
(Framingham, MA), Cambridge Art Association (Cambridge, MA),<br />
and the Soho Photo Gallery’s Krappy Kamera Competition (New<br />
York, NY).<br />
Hannah Smith Allen BROOKLYN, NY<br />
Allen conveys a sense of tension between the seductive and the<br />
carnal in her series of color images, titled Tuft, which features fragmentary<br />
bodies and interiors. Whether it is a braid that appears disembodied<br />
or perspiration stains on a brightly colored shirt, she aims<br />
to create psychological and poetic moments that prompt viewers to<br />
question their relationships to the human body and desire. Allen is<br />
currently a graduate student in photography at the School of Visual<br />
Arts (New York, NY) and holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School<br />
of Design (Providence, RI). She has exhibited at numerous juried<br />
exhibitions, including the Print Center (Philadelphia, PA), and is a<br />
founding member of collective#nine, a South Brooklyn-based, artist<br />
collective. Her website is www.hannahsmithallen.com.<br />
Ri Anderson<br />
CAMBRIDGE, MA AND SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, MEXICO<br />
Anderson’s work explores the archetype of the mother/child relationship.<br />
Since she became a mother in 2002, Anderson has<br />
been photographing her mother, daughter, and herself with a large<br />
format camera. Drawing on an interest in religious art historical<br />
imagery, she investigates the intense and often contradictory emotions<br />
and dynamics by way of Edenistic and Madonna and Child<br />
compositional allusions and settings. Anderson received her MFA<br />
in photography from Massachusetts College of Art (<strong>Boston</strong>, MA) in<br />
2005. Her work has been shown at numerous venues including the<br />
Griffin Museum of <strong>Photography</strong> (Winchester, MA), Studio Soto (<strong>Boston</strong>,<br />
MA), and the 2000 DeCordova Annual (Lincoln, MA), among<br />
many others. Her website is www.rianderson.com and for more<br />

Margarida Correia BROOKLYN, NY<br />
www.prcboston.org | <strong>2006</strong> prc members’ exhibition<br />
In a unique twist on the photogram, Cirelli<br />
creates photographic drawings using electricity.<br />
To make the work, he places metal<br />
objects onto photographic paper and<br />
shocks them with a Tesla coil. The silver in<br />
the paper then conducts the electricity and<br />
produces illumination, resulting in hauntingly<br />
beautiful and elegant tracings. Cirelli earned<br />
his BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art<br />
(Cleveland, OH). He has assisted with<br />
the 20x24 Polaroid studio and currently<br />
teaches photography full-time at Merrimack<br />
High School (Merrimack, NH). He has<br />
exhibited at venues such as Panopticon<br />
Gallery (Waltham, MA) and artSPACE@16<br />
(Malden, MA), among others. His website<br />
is www.cirelliworks.com.<br />
An American artist of African descent and<br />
a documentary-style photographer, Coppin<br />
aims at providing a different view of urban<br />
Africa and African Diaspora. Many of these<br />
panoramic images are from Dakar and St.<br />
Louis, Senegal, the latter of which was once<br />
the capital of the French colonies in all of<br />
West Africa. In his work, Coppin hopes to<br />
use his art as a means of political and social<br />
reconstruction. Coppin holds a MFA from the<br />
Rhode Island School of Design (Providence,<br />
RI) and is presently an Associate Professor<br />
of Art in the Visual Art Department at Brown<br />
University (Providence, RI). He has curated<br />
and exhibited in countless solo and group<br />
shows and received numerous accolades,<br />
grants, and purchase awards as well<br />
as served on many boards, committees,<br />
and panels.<br />
Intrigued by relationships of people to their<br />
personal items, Correia creates unique<br />
triptychs composed of several framed color<br />
images. In this series, titled Saudade, each<br />
piece includes a portrait in the present of<br />
the subject wearing the object, a reproduction<br />
of an old photograph of the original<br />
owner using the same object, and a still life<br />
of the object. These items were meant to<br />
be ephemeral yet have somehow lasted the<br />
test of time, and now take on new owners<br />
and new roles. A recipient of the Individual<br />
Photographer’s Fellowship from the Aaron<br />
Siskind Foundation, Correia holds a MFA<br />
in photography and related media from<br />
the School of Visual Arts (New York, NY)<br />
and has exhibited at many solo and group<br />
shows, including the Photographic Center<br />
Northwest (Seattle, WA) and an upcoming<br />
exhibition at the AIR Gallery (New York, NY).<br />

Katherine Cummings<br />
BRIGHTON, MA<br />
Cummings photographs the dioramas and<br />
displays in natural history museums with an<br />
eye towards giving life back to these taxidermied<br />
animals. To create the final pieces,<br />
she uses the historical printing-out-paper<br />
process and then gold-tones the prints. The<br />
process yields a timeless look, which is<br />
further complemented by her presentation.<br />
Cummings is a recent BFA graduate of the<br />
Art Institute of <strong>Boston</strong> (<strong>Boston</strong>, MA) and<br />
currently works at Calumet Photographic<br />
(Cambridge, MA). She has an upcoming<br />
solo show at Suffolk University’s College of<br />
Art and Design (<strong>Boston</strong>, MA) this summer<br />
(July 13-August 18, <strong>2006</strong>). Her website is<br />
www.katherinecummings.com.<br />
Nicolaus Czarnecki<br />
SOUTH BOSTON, MA<br />
In this subtle, yet powerful series, Czarnecki<br />
depicts New Orleans five months after<br />
hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In an effort<br />
to show an alternative view to the typical<br />
photographs of the area, he chose not to<br />
document the destruction overtly, but instead<br />
depict the haunting remnants of its cause:<br />
the flood lines. Currently a photojournalism<br />
major and documentary minor at the New<br />
England School of <strong>Photography</strong> (<strong>Boston</strong>,<br />
MA), Czarnecki is also working as assistant<br />
to <strong>Boston</strong>-based photographer Bill Burke.<br />
Surendra Lawoti SOMERVILLE, MA<br />
For his series, titled Pictures from the Nepali<br />
Diaspora, Lawoti photographed his fellow<br />
Nepalese immigrants in America. Using a<br />
large format camera and photographing<br />
with the aesthetic of family snapshots, Lawoti<br />
creates quiet, subtly toned color images of<br />
interior spaces that allude to the emotional<br />
impact of leaving one place and moving<br />
to another. Lawoti came to the US in 1994<br />
and attended Columbia College (Chicago,<br />
IL) and then went on to receive his MFA<br />
from Massachusetts College of Art (<strong>Boston</strong>,<br />
MA) in 2005. Lawoti works at Color<br />
Services Inc. (Needham, MA) and teaches<br />
photography at Montserrat College of Art<br />
(Beverly, MA). His work has been featured<br />
recently as a part of the PRC’s group<br />
show, DOCUMENT: Contemporary Social<br />
Documentary Work from Greater <strong>Boston</strong>.<br />
Lawoti received a <strong>2006</strong> Artist Fellowship<br />
Grant from Somerville Arts Council. In<br />
addition, his work will be on display at<br />
the Cambridge Art Association’s National<br />
Prize Show this spring (May 3-June 22,<br />
<strong>2006</strong>), for which he won the Zeff Photo<br />
Supply Photographic Award. His website is<br />

Sam Sweezy ARLINGTON, MA<br />
Sweezy’s series is a part of a grant-funded<br />
project with a Cornell University professor<br />
and former graduate student on the built<br />
environment of the Panama Canal Zone,<br />
and is made in support of a future exhibition.<br />
Sweezy and these landscape architects<br />
and planners have been studying the canal<br />
area and its history, including several US<br />
Military bases and towns that were built<br />
as a part of the “City Beautiful” movement<br />
to house workers. A graduate of <strong>Boston</strong><br />
University with a degree in film, Sweezy is<br />
a freelance architectural photographer who<br />
specializes in project-based location work.<br />
His published projects include a book, Armenian<br />
Folk Arts, Culture, and Identity, and an<br />
interactive CD, The Layers of Rome. His “in<br />
progress” studies address a variety of topics,<br />
including cathedral builders of Claremont<br />
and landscape painting at Pompeii.<br />
Bob O’Connor WHITMAN, MA<br />
O’Connor’s featured works are a group of<br />
striking landscapes from Iceland. In his imagery,<br />
he concentrates on simplicity, always<br />
bringing his clean straightforward style to<br />
his subjects. O’Connor is a commercial photographer<br />
specializing in location work for<br />
editorial, advertising, and corporate clients,<br />
including <strong>Boston</strong> Magazine, Dwell, Discover,<br />
and Volkswagen, among others. He was<br />
recently named on0e of PDN’s “30 Emerging<br />
Photographers to Watch” in <strong>2006</strong>. His<br />
website is www.boboconnor.net.<br />
Julia Sapir JAMAICA PLAIN, MA<br />
Sapir’s project explores the relationship of<br />
her family to a 200-year old farmhouse that<br />
has been in her family for three generations.<br />
Her parents, who are professors, and her<br />
family eagerly look forward to the leisurely<br />
time spent there each summer. Her grandfather,<br />
who bought the retreat, was also<br />
professor; part of the magic of being there,<br />
she explains, is existing within the realm of<br />
his memory. In her tranquil and beautifully<br />
lit images, she conveys a sense of timelessness<br />
and nostalgia as well as considers how<br />
each successive generation interacts with<br />
the house and nature. A graduate of Brown<br />
University (Providence, RI) and the Post-Baccalaureate<br />
program at the School of the<br />
Museum of Fine Arts, <strong>Boston</strong> (<strong>Boston</strong>, MA),<br />
Sapir will attend graduate school for photography<br />
at the University of New Mexico<br />
(Albuquerque, NM) this fall.<br />
