from the PRESIDENT
At the end of my first year as President, I’d like to update the readers of in
the loupe with a report on a wide range of new and exciting PRC initiatives.
Our Board of Directors has increased in size and strength, adding ten highly
engaged new members. One of our new board members, Eric Almquist, has
chaired our strategic planning committee. His goal has been to assess how
the PRC will maintain relevance in the rapidly changing world of photography.
The committee has been collating information from a multitude of
sources including interviews with PRC board members and key donors, an
online survey of our membership, and researching peer institutions across
the country.
From our discussions, it has become clear that there is a strong desire on
the part of our membership to have increased opportunities to present their
work. In response, we have doubled the capacity of our annual Portfolio
Review Day. We have initiated a new program, the PRC Portfolio Project,
to provide an intensive, hands-on workshop for portfolio development. In
this issue of in the loupe, we have issued an invitation to our membership
to submit images for consideration for inclusion in the PRC Benefit Auction.
The board and staff are currently researching and working on an online
members’ gallery. We are also considering the possibility of a juried print
supplement in our newsletter/magazine, in the loupe. Satellite venues are
being investigated as a way to expand our current exhibition space. We
already have one such space at MIT, where the PRC is presenting the work
of John Chervinsky in this gallery’s inaugural year.
We have also decided to strengthen member networking opportunities. The
PRC has launched a new blog, www.bostonphotographyfocus.org, where
members can engage in a discussion about current issues and events in
photography. Also, we have expanded our Flickr site at www.flickr.com/
photos/prcboston where the PRC community can view photos of all PRC
events and exhibitions. Our curator Leslie K. Brown introduced a Flickr
group in conjunction with the PRC exhibition New England Survey, where
participants showed their work online and engaged in discussions about
issues related to landscape photography in New England. We introduced
a new series, “Behind the Scenes,” which is yet another opportunity for
networking as well as experiencing unique photography events.
We succeeded in having our most successful PRC Benefit Auction ever last
fall. Nonetheless, we realize that the PRC needs to develop new sources
of income in order to continue to be financially healthy. We are thrilled to
present our new PRC Print Program, with individual prints by outstanding
photographers. In addition, we are especially proud of the upcoming PRC
Portfolio, with prints by 14 renowned photographers. This is the first portfolio
produced by the PRC since 1981 and it is a fitting tribute to the PRC at the
conclusion of its 30-year anniversary celebration.
I’d like to close by asking those of you who would like to share your ideas
with me to call or write me at the PRC. I’d love to hear from you!
Cathy England,
President of the PRC Board of Directors

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Installation & Summer Hours
After the last day of the Annual PRC Juried
Exhibition and until we open our fall exhibition
(July 3 – September 3), the PRC gallery
and library will be dark. We’ll be open by
appointment only in order to host a plethora
of educational offerings, including the PRC
Summer Photo Camp. Please see page 9 for
our full slate of summer programs designed
to enrich your aesthetic and intellectual
appetite. Make no mistake, we’re still around!
During July and August, you can reach the
PRC staff Monday through Friday, 9 am – 5pm.
PRC Flickr Site Surpasses 20,000 views
As a part of our 30th anniversary celebration,
we launched the PRC Flickr site (online
at www.flickr.com/photos/prcboston) to post
images of receptions, exhibitions, lectures,
and workshops. To date, we have over 1,600
images that have been viewed over 20,000
times! Keep checking back to see the newest
images and who is featured online! If you
have a Flickr account (they are free), we
encourage you to post comments and make
us your contact/friend (to date we have over
140 contacts) so that we can continue to
build a network of photo friends. Don’t forget
to check out our topical Flickr group, “New
England Survey Online,” at www.flickr.com/
groups/newenglandsurveyonline. At the time
this went to press, we had over 340 photos in
the group pool and over 75 members.
Picture Show receives
New England Critics Award
The PRC is honored to announce that it has
won an award from the New England chapter
of the International Association of Art Critics,
USA (AICA/USA) for the 2006/2007 season.
In the category of “Best Show in a University
or College Gallery,” the PRC took Second Place
for its group exhibition, Picture Show. Leslie
K. Brown, PRC Curator and curator of the
exhibition, received the award at the AICA/
New England awards ceremony, along with
George Fifield, Director of Boston Cyberarts;
Cathy England, President of the PRC
Board of Directors, was also in attendance.
These prestigious awards are the art world’s
equivalent to those given by the New York
Film Critics Society, the Drama Desk, and the
Academy of Motion Picture awards. For the
past six years, the New England chapter of
AICA has initiated its own awards ceremony
to honor local efforts. This year, the AICA/NE
awards ceremony was held at the end of
February at the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis
University. Francine Koslow Miller, Director of
AICA/NE, and Michael Rush, Director of the
Rose, hosted the invitation-only event. The
AICA/NE awards were also announced at the
national award ceremony, held at the Guggenheim
Museum. This is the second honor
Picture Show has garnered; the exhibition was
also was featured in the Boston Phoenix’s “Art
in Review” as one of the best of 2007.

During the early summer months, the PRC proudly presents
its 13th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition. Begun in 1996, the Annual
PRC Juried Exhibition highlights “ones to watch.” Our guest
juror, Aperture Publisher Lesley A. Martin, selected 14 artists
for exhibition out of a record-shattering 376 submissions. For
more about Ms. Martin, the PRC Juried Exhibition, and its history,

of our local luminaries who still call Boston their home today:
Roswell Angier, Karl Baden, William Burke, Steven Halpern,
Christopher James, Olivia Parker, Daniel Ranalli, Eugene Richards,
Sage Sohier, and Jane Tuckerman.
Earlier this year, a Portfolio Committee assembled a new PRC
Portfolio and we are proud to display the new portfolio along
with the images from New Works. The final touches on the
latest version of the PRC Portfolio are being completed as this
issue is going to press. Join us this fall for a unique exhibition
as well as a major collecting opportunity.
A Look Ahead, Fall 2008 Exhibitions
Kicking off the 2008/2009 PRC exhibition season will be a truly
special offering. The PRC Portfolio Exhibition will unite two PRC
Portfolios in a display of over 25 prints, which will grace our
gallery walls September 4 – 14, 2008.
The original PRC Portfolio, produced in 1981 and titled New
Works, was a year-long project sponsored by the PRC and funded
in a large part by the Massachusetts Council on the Arts
and Humanities. The ten selected artists were commissioned
to create new work (both black and white and color prints) for

Guillermo Srodek-Hart’s striking image of
his grandmother seen through a cage of yellow

PRC student show in 2002. It is apt, therefore,
that we feature his work again as he
completes his MFA degree at Massachusetts
College of Art + Design in Boston, MA. After
graduating from the School of the Museum
of Fine Arts, Boston, Srodek-Hart returned to
his native Argentina, only to return to Boston
again in 2006. Shown internationally and
recently published in View Camera magazine,
Srodek-Hart has been a long-term assistant
to Jim Dow on a variety of projects in North
Dakota and Mexico. Featured online will be
selections from two series, both taken in
rural Argentina, “Accumulations” and “Animals.”
The latter, a natural outgrowth of his
earlier “Animalia” series showcased in the
2003 PRC Juried Exhibition, is complemented
by links to new videos investigating the
similarities and differences between animals
and humans.

Alan Arsenault (Brookline, MA)
www.prcboston.org/arsenault.htm
Alan Arsenault is a junior photography major
in the New England Institute of Art’s new
BS program in Digital Photography. Before
coming to NEIA in Brookline, MA, Arsenault
pursued photojournalism. Inspired by AI
professors Rachelle Dermer and Thomas
Gustainis, Arsenault added a new conceptual
bent to his studies and image making. Constructing
sets to photograph using simple
materials, he thus embarked on the “Edgerton
Follies” series (his image was most recently
featured on our 2008 PRC Student Exhibition
postcard and poster). Featured online will
be other images from the “Edgerton Follies”
series as well as examples of his other
humorous constructions.

Kevin Van Aelst (New Haven, CT)
www.prcboston.org/vanaelst.htm
Currently teaching photography in CT
at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, and at
the ACES/ECA arts magnet high school in
New Haven, Kevin Van Aelst holds an MFA in
photography from the University of Hartford,
West Hartford, CT and a BA in psychology
from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. Besides
the recent Art and Math group show at Axiom
Gallery in Jamaica Plain, MA, Van Aelst’s exhibitions
include solo showings at the Khaki
Gallery in Wellesley, MA, and Real Art Ways in
Hartford, CT. Recently awarded a Connecticut
Commission on Culture & Tourism Artist
Fellowship Grant, his work is included in CT
collections such as the Wadsworth Atheneum
in Hartford and Artspace in New Haven. Van
Aelst’s constructed, often humorous, photo
illustrations can be seen weekly in “The Medium”
column of the New York Times Magazine.
Featured online will be a selection of mathematically-inspired,
constructed images as
well as an ongoing series of recreated fingerprints
in sites of childhood memories.

tribute to
Tobias McConchie
We regret to inform you that Tobias McConchie, a student in the first
year of the Professional Photography Program at NESOP, passed away
February 18, 2008 due to complications arising from cystic fibrosis.
Tobias’s work was selected for the 2008 PRC Student Exhibition and he
was able to attend the opening at the PRC on February 7th. The PRC
was honored to have Tobias’s work in the exhibition and we respectfully
share this portrait of him with his work.
From NESOP: “Battling CF since childhood, Tobias chose to focus his
energy on what he could accomplish in life and dedicated himself to
the positive pursuit of his goals. A promising and conscientious student
artist, one of his most recent accomplishments was having his work
chosen to represent NESOP in the PRC Student Exhibition. For those
of you who may be unaware, cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic
disease affecting primarily the lungs and digestive system, causing
increased disability.” From Tobias’s mother: “At age 10 he painted in
oils and acrylics, then moved on to cartooning, . . . video and screen
writing, . . . and finally he found a place to capture and share his
view of the world through photography at NESOP with the help of
the staff, administration, and his classmates, who had become
his friends as well.”
Tobias McConchie. Photograph by Jim Fitts
The PRC has made a donation to the family’s selected charity—Child
Life Fund/UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center, a part of the
UMass Memorial Foundation in Worcester—in Tobias’s name and
encourages readers to consider making a donation as well. Information
on how to donate is available here, www.umassmed.edu/foundation.

MASTERS WORKSHOP >
Managing a Digital Workflow
with Bruce Hamilton
Saturday, June 7, 10am–4pm
Registration is required. To register please call 617.975.0600.
$120 Members/$170 Non-Members/$95 Full-Time Students
Workshop will take place at Northeastern University
Workflow is an expression that we hear often in digital imaging. However,
workflow has a different meaning for each type of photographer.
There are a few constants, but a true workflow is one that is specific
to the individual using it. In this workshop, we will examine the most
common digital tools (hardware and software) and techniques for a
successful workflow, and then explore the means to create a specific
workflow for each individual participant according to their needs.
Topics covered will include the following:
+ Color Management: monitor calibration and color space
+ Image Capture: camera and scanned images
+ File Types: the good, the bad, and the ugly
+ File Transfer: cables and card readers
+ Initial Editing: Adobe Bridge, Aperture, and Lightroom
+ File Naming: metadata and keywords
+ File Sorting; Storage and Archiving; Raw Capture
+ Photoshop Workspace; Preparation for Output
This workshop is led by Bruce Hamilton, an established image maker
and educator with over 20 years of experience in the field of photography.
He is currently implementing the transformation of Northeastern’s
Photography Program’s pedagogy and technology from an
analog to a digital realm. He has taught Digital Imaging for the School
of Professional and Continuing Studies at Northeastern since 2001.
Prior to joining the Visual Arts Department at Northeastern, he ran a
successful photo studio in Boston with commercial clients from New
England and the Caribbean. He is represented by the Kalembar Dune
Gallery in Boston.

will be provided for you, but you will select a model who best suits
your photographic sensibility (you may also find models independently).
You may shoot in any format, in black and white or color, and at
any negative size. Please bring examples of previous work so we may
discuss potential approaches at the outset. In order to inspire you on
the first day before shooting, we will view slides of Jocelyn Lee’s work,
as well as that of other contemporary portrait photographers.
Jocelyn Lee was born in Naples, Italy, and received her BA in philosophy
and visual arts from Yale University in New Haven, CT and her
MFA in photography from Hunter College in New York, NY. In 2001
she received a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 1996 her work, “The Youngest
Parents,” was published by DoubleTake Books and the Center for
Documentary Studies at Duke University in collaboration with Robert
Coles and John Moses. She has exhibited extensively in many prestigious
institutions such as the National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian
Institution in Washington, D.C.; Pace MacGill Gallery in New York,
NY; the DeCordova Museum of Art and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA;
Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton, MA; and the Portland
Museum of Art in Portland, ME. Her work has been collected internationally
by organizations such as Maison Européenne de la Photographie,
Paris, France; Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany; Yale Museum
of Art, New Haven, CT; Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University,
NC; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX. Her work has
appeared in many national publications including The New York Times
Magazine, DoubleTake, and Harpers. She teaches at Princeton University,

Registration is required. To register please call 617.975.0600.
$250 Members/$295 Non-Members/$175 Full-Time Students
Workshop will take place at Northeastern University and on-location
The beautiful and sublime can be found in the majestic landscape as
well as in the most ordinary place. This workshop will help participants
develop an eye and approach to photographing in any place in
a manner that illustrates both the specificity of a particular location
as well as its universal qualities. Particular attention will be paid to
capturing subtle nuances in an environment that help establish mood,
character, time, and tension. Participants will also reflect on composing
images that offer compelling points-of-entry into the environment
photographed. This workshop will include an overview of approaches,
both traditional and alternative, to landscape photography. On location
shooting will take place at a meadow in Carlisle, MA where
instructor Barbara Bosworth has been photographing for the past 4
years.
Barbara Bosworth has been a Professor at Boston’s Massachusetts
College of Art + Design since 1984. Her honors include a Buhl Foundation
Grant, a New England Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, and a
John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. Upcoming
solo showings include the Phoenix Art Museum, in conjunction with
the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, AZ, and an exhibition
at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.. Most
recently featured in To Fly: Contemporary Aerial Photography at the Boston
University Art Gallery, her photographs are in the collections of
numerous museums. Bosworth is regularly featured in Blind Spot and
recently published Trees, National Champions (MIT Press, 2005).

Responsibility in Documentary Photography
with Dominic Chavez
Saturday, August 9, Sunday, August 10, 10am–4pm,
& Friday, August 15, 5:30–8:30pm
Registration is required. To register please call 617.975.0600.
$250 Members/$295 Non-Members/$175 Full-Time Students
Workshop will take place at Northeastern University and on location
A photographer has a responsibility to create their work with respect,
concern, and understanding that pictures are the middle voice in creating
dialog. Developing an artistic sense of light, composition, and
how the moment gives a picture an infinite life, heightens the ability
to make dynamic images that spark this dialog. In addition, noted
photojournalist Dominic Chavez will help participants build other
skills necessary to create compelling documentary images. These include
the photographer/subject relationship, timing, reacting to situations,
building stories, and more.

since 1997. In that time, he has taken photographs around the world.
Recent extended projects include coverage of the war in Iraq and the

EDUCATION
Yearbook
As the school year draws to a close, we look back
at PRC youth education and outreach initiatives
The PRC is proud to be one of the few organizations in the region
that offers photo-based youth education and outreach opportunities.
These include the Second Sight Photo Program, which is designed to
encourage students’ creativity and self-expression; prompt active
reflection on issues of identity, representation, and community; and
help students realize their full creative potential through hands-on
photographic activities. The Second Sight Photo Program began as a
collaboration between the PRC and TechBoston Academy, a Boston
Public Schools pilot high school in Dorchester, MA and was expanded
this year through new collaborations with Boston Preparatory Charter
Public School in Hyde Park, MA, and the New England Institute of Art
in Brookline, MA.
The PRC also offers process THIS: Conversations in Photography, an
after school program for area students from diverse backgrounds and
a variety of public and private high schools, who want an opportunity
to study, discuss, and create art, as well as meet masters in the field.
Students meet with and interview internationally-renowned artists
who participate in the PRC’s lecture series. Interviews are audio-recorded
and broadcast on the PRC’s web site. In addition, students
work collaboratively to create art projects that incorporate the visiting
artist’s process.
Here are just a few of the images produced by our talented
students. To view more of their work visit the students’ Flickr pages
at www.flickr.com/photos/tbaphoto and www.flickr.com/photos/
processthis2007. To listen to the processTHIS interviews please visit the
Youth Education page of our website at www.bu.edu/prc/youthed.htm.

Each year, the Photographic Resource Center at Boston University is pleased
to host a juried exhibition of photography and related media. This prestigious
competition is a great opportunity to view a slice of the best and brightest as
well as see topics in which contemporary minds are engaged. We were delighted
to have Lesley A. Martin, Publisher of Aperture Foundation’s Book Program, serve
as our 2008 guest juror.
For this year’s exhibition, Ms. Martin selected 14 artists out of 376 international
submissions—the largest number of entries ever received in the exhibition’s history.
With just over a dozen artists selected for exhibition, the Annual PRC Juried
Exhibition is a highly competitive and nationally-revered program. Several key
themes emerged in the work of this year’s selected artists: conflict, community,
commerce, work, expectations, and family.

PRC Juried Show History
In celebration of the PRC’s 30th anniversary in the 2006/
2007 academic year, and to reflect more accurately the
mission and function of our annual photography competition,
we changed the name of the PRC Members’ Exhibition to
EXPOSURE: The Annual PRC Juried Exhibition. In total, over 245
artists have shown in the PRC Juried Exhibitions—including
an array of established photographers and those cited as
“ones to watch.” Winners each exhibit several images in the
PRC gallery and are also highlighted in the PRC’s publication,
in the loupe, which is distributed to thousands of visitors,
members, colleges, museums, and libraries.
Guest jurors of the Annual PRC Juried Exhibition represent
esteemed curators, photographers, publishers, and industry
professionals. Past jurors have included Jen Bekman, founder
and director of the New York gallery jen bekman; Jeanine
Fijol, Photo Editor of Photo District News (PDN) magazine;
Alison Devine Nordström, Curator of Photographs, George
Eastman House International Museum of Photography and
Film, Rochester, NY; Rachel Rosenfield Lafo, Director of
Curatorial Affairs at the DeCordova Museum of Art and
Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA; Chris Enos, artist, educator,
and founder of the PRC; Diana Gaston, then independent
curator, now Associate Curator at the Fidelity Collection,
Boston, MA; Deborah Martin Kao, Curator of Photography,
Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA;
Richard B. Woodward, former Editor at Large, Doubletake
Magazine; and Edward Earle, Curator of Digital Media, International
Center of Photography, New York, NY.
The objective of this prestigious exhibition perhaps rings
even more true today than when it was first announced in
the PRC newsletter in 1996: “[the PRC juried show] signals the
Center’s deepening commitment to area artists and its support of
the range of photography produced in the New England region.”
To that, I would add “nationally and beyond.” Join us in congratulating
the featured artists of the PRC’s 13th Annual
Juried Exhibition.

Picture the Change > Call for Entries
Since the early 1960s, the visual vocabulary of social
change has been dominated by images of massive, popular
demonstration. More recently though, such public
events have failed to capture the public imagination or
produce visual icons similar to those of the March on
Washington, the March on the Pentagon, the ERA rallies,
or the AIDS quilt. Yet the hard work of social change
continues all around us every day. Instead of mass protest,
we now have organic farms in the heart of the city,
music studios catering to positive hip-hop, laboratories
dedicated to clean energy, socially responsible businesses,
and youth workers reaching out to the dropped out and
disengaged. This project seeks to collect an array of
images from Boston, MA that represent these modern
forms of social change and challenge our understanding
of what constitutes social change itself. To participate
in this group, send an e-mail to avitch@gmail.com. The
project will remain open until September 2008, at which
time a panel will review the collection and select a portfolio
for an online and, funding permitting, a traveling
exhibition.
Providence Art Windows Project > Call for Proposals
Artists are invited to submit proposals for the Providence
Art Windows Project. Works by selected artists will be

pre-existing or site-specific work and may be 2-D or 3-D.
There is a $100 stipend available. There will be 2 rounds
of installations, opening September 18 and December 6.
The postmark deadline for both installations is June 15.
Interested artists should send 10 jpg format images on
CD, a proposal, a resume, and a SASE to 205 Kenyon Ave,
E. Greenwich, RI 02818. No entries will be accepted via
e-mail. For additional information, contact Liz Keithline
at keithlineri@cox.net with the subject line “Windows” or
call 401-578-4313.
