The Yachting <strong>Photography</strong> of<br />

Willard B. Jackson<br />

At the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA<br />

On view now!<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 />

As we approach the end of our programming year, we close the door on one of our<br />

most exciting in recent memory. Beginning with the incredible success of both the<br />

Education Program fundraising campaign and the 2005 PRC Benefit Auction, we<br />

were able to present some outstanding exhibitions, lectures, workshops, portfolio<br />

reviews and the like. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we did.<br />

Of course this successful year is entirely due to the generosity of our members and<br />

supporters. Your contributions, memberships, materials, services, creativity, and<br />

time allow this relatively small organization to develop a relevant dynamic schedule.<br />

Our appreciation is without measure.<br />

Sadly, we unexpectedly lost one of our most ardent supporters and friends<br />

when photographer Wild Bill Melton was killed in a car accident this past May.<br />

Extremely talented and immensely charming, Bill never hesitated to answer<br />

our requests for support. As many of you know, he was a popular fixture at the<br />

Mother’s Day Portrait Extravaganza! In tribute to Bill, we urge you to make a<br />

contribution to CoastAid, a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing<br />

awareness of coastal erosion in Bill’s native state of Louisiana. CoastAid, which<br />

Bill was heavily involved with, is working on some of the issues that could have<br />

reduced the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. For information about the<br />

organization and/or to make a contribution, please visit coastaid.org.<br />

Thank you, and be safe this summer.<br />

Best regards,<br />

Terrence Morash<br />

Raising a record $46,000 for the PRC’s<br />

programming, the <strong>2006</strong> Mother’s Day Portrait<br />

Extravaganza was our most successful to<br />

date! Second in importance only to our fall<br />

benefit auction, it ensures the success of the<br />

PRC as we begin planning next year’s programming<br />

schedule. Our sincere thanks goes<br />

out to the companies and individuals who<br />

made the Extravaganza happen this year<br />

Thomas Gearty<br />

www.bu/edu/gearty.htm<br />

Recently returning to the US from London,<br />

Tom Gearty earned his MFA from Massachusetts<br />

College of Art (<strong>Boston</strong>, MA) in<br />

1999 and holds a BA from the University<br />

of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA). Gearty was<br />

a major contributor to Henry Horenstein’s<br />

Black & White <strong>Photography</strong>: A Basic Manual<br />

and <strong>Photography</strong> with Horenstein and<br />

Russell Hart, a founding editor and writer for<br />

Teachingphoto.com, and was selected for<br />

Sotheby’s Artlink worldwide Emerging Artists<br />

Program. He has exhibited around Greater<br />

<strong>Boston</strong> at the St. Botolph Club, Massachu-<br />

Featured online will be images from<br />

Gearty’s new series of Polaroid images.<br />

In all of his work, Gearty seeks out simple<br />

scenes, details, gestures, and moments that<br />

inspire wonder and yet also impart a feeling<br />

of loss. In hundreds of instant small images,<br />

he captures a vast array of things—often<br />

selecting objects for the agency that they<br />

appear to assert—ultimately building a new<br />

vocabulary of sorts. Whether it is crumbling<br />

pavement that just doesn’t seem to match<br />

up or a strange pattern of condensation on<br />

a car hood, he draws attention to a “secret<br />

world of things” independent of humans.<br />

Featured online are selections from two<br />

series Self-Iconolatry, self-portraits printed on<br />

wood, and Self-Consuming, portraits of the<br />

fast food industry. In Self-Iconolatry, he coats<br />

liquid emulsion on plywood panels onto<br />

which he then prints straight-on photographs<br />

of himself wearing various shirts. In Self-<br />

Consuming, an ongoing series, he documents<br />

his trips and meals at different fast<br />

food restaurants. Sentiments of humor,<br />

dread, and alienation emerge in all of his<br />

works; his sheer repetition of single images<br />

or ideas serves to challenge notions of pop<br />

culture and the banality of the everyday.<br />

Lodima Press Portfolio Series featuring:<br />

Home by Nicholas Nixon<br />

Solitudes by Carl Chiarenza<br />

Common Mementos by George Tice<br />

Revere, PA: Lodima Press, <strong>2006</strong><br />

Review by Julia Dolan, Ph.D. Candidate,<br />

Art History Program, <strong>Boston</strong> University<br />

Pennsylvania-based Lodima Press has produced limited edition photographic<br />

books since 1981, but until recently only those photographs<br />

created by Michael A. Smith and Paula Chandlee—the company’s<br />

founder and his wife—were published by the press. In 2004 Smith<br />

widened his scope to include, among others, a series of small books<br />

featuring previously unpublished works by active American photographers.<br />

The Lodima Press Portfolio Series, which debuted in September<br />

of 2005, will grow by four to six new books each year for the<br />

foreseeable future.<br />

Nicholas Nixon, from the book Home.<br />

www.prcboston.org | book review<br />

If the first three portfolios in the series, Home by Nicholas Nixon,<br />

Solitudes by Carl Chiarenza, and George Tice’s Common Mementos,<br />

represent the overarching theme of the whole, it is clear that<br />

threads of nostalgia and quietude will link the series’ varied photographers<br />

together. Imagery aside, the manner in which the books<br />

are printed is exceptional, making the act of looking at the photographs<br />

even more of a pleasure. Lodima Press rightly prides itself<br />

on the use of the 600-line screen quadtone printing process. The<br />

photographers’ images, uninterrupted by any evidence of a screenbased<br />

reproduction method, rest on the pages like gelatin silver<br />

prints on a neutral gallery wall. Indeed, the abstracted studies of<br />

paper constructions in Chiarenza’s Solitudes are reminiscent of the<br />

glorious, dense, often murky textures so apparent in the photogravures<br />

of Camera Work fame.<br />

The publisher correctly touts the portfolio series, which will include<br />

such photographers as Barbara Bosworth, Larry Fink, and Emmet<br />

Gowin, as functioning “within the tradition of artists’ small books.”<br />

Each book features just ten to eighteen photographs, allowing for the<br />

artists to present a small suite of work or a taste of a larger series.<br />

One cannot help, however, but be concerned about the diminutive<br />

size of these portfolios. In an era of incessant visual bombardment,<br />

these intimate books, already quiet in both size and photographic<br />

message, are at risk of being overshadowed by meatier publications.<br />

While the hardcover, limited-edition, signed copies will most<br />

certainly hold their own on a crowded bookcase, the more reasonably<br />

priced, soft cover offerings seem too diminutive. Perhaps an<br />

additional release of hardcover copies at a mid-range price point<br />

will allow these small artists’ books to hold their own amongst larger<br />

photographic tomes, while simultaneously protecting the delicate messages<br />

that each photographer’s work unveils inside.<br />

Imaging a Shattering Earth<br />

by Claude Baillargeon<br />

The catalogue is co-published by the Meadow Brook Art Gallery,<br />

College of Arts and Sciences, Oakland University, and CONTACT<br />

Toronto <strong>Photography</strong> Festival, 2005<br />

Review by Rebecca A. Senf, Ph.D. Candidate,<br />

Art History Program, <strong>Boston</strong> University<br />

The recent exhibition catalogue Imaging a Shattering Earth: Contemporary<br />

<strong>Photography</strong> and the Environmental Debate brings together<br />

powerful photographs, supports them with thought-provoking essays,<br />

and provides useful short biographies of the artists. The provocative<br />

title and compelling list of photographers represented in the exhibition,<br />

which originated at the Meadow Brook Art Gallery at Oakland<br />

University in Rochester, Michigan last fall, are tantalizing to anyone<br />

interested in contemporary landscape photography. The fully illustrated<br />

catalogue features fifty-six photographs by Edward Burtynsky,<br />

John Ganis, Peter Goin, Emmet Gowin, David T. Hanson, Jonathan<br />

Long, David Maisel, David McMillan, Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison,<br />

John Pfahl, and Mark Ruwedel. These “testimonies” record the<br />

damage we have done to our Earth, and present the evidence in an<br />

undeniable language.<br />

“Our world is changing. We are destroying it; destroying the air<br />

we breathe, the water we drink, the land that sustains us. We are<br />

laying waste to the only home we have.” So begins Robert F. Kennedy<br />

Junior’s introductory essay. This book led me to a disheartening<br />

epiphany: if our world’s leaders have allowed the environmental<br />

disasters recorded here, we are doomed. What these photographs<br />

illustrate, however, is that our leaders not only have allowed them,<br />

but at times were (or currently are) sponsoring the pollution, degradation<br />

and waste. How can we expect individuals to recycle or<br />

relinquish gas-guzzling SUVs, when our leadership betrays us so<br />

Both main essays mention that except for Robert and Shana<br />

ParkeHarrison’s collaboration, men made all of Shattering Earth’s<br />

photographs. The curator, Claude Baillargeon, wanted photographers<br />

whose direct, yet distanced, observation of the earth’s altered<br />

topography created a 21st century parallel to the 1975 landmark<br />

exhibition New Topographics. Maia-Mari Sutnik’s essay discusses<br />

women photographers who grapple with environmental issues, but<br />

whose approach was either more personal or journalistic than Baillargeon<br />

wanted.<br />

These photographs gain strength grouped as they are here. I shared<br />

the book with two friends: one mentioned how difficult, painful it<br />

was to look at the images, the other said how beautiful they were.<br />

Put Shattering Earth on your coffee table and let it begin conversations<br />

about where we went so wrong, and how we will set things<br />

right again.<br />

1996–2005<br />

a prc members’ exhibition yearbook 1996-2005<br />

Each year, the Photographic Resource Center is pleased<br />

to host an annual juried exhibition with a nationallyrecognized<br />

juror. With the 11th annual show under our<br />

belt and this year marking the PRC’s 30th anniversary, we<br />

thought we would update you on the accomplishments<br />

of some alumni/ae since their exhibition. For many, being<br />

selected for this prestigious show was an important<br />

stepping-stone in their careers and led to many new<br />

opportunities and connections.<br />

The PRC Members’ Exhibition is a great opportunity to<br />

discover new and trends voices in the photographic arts.<br />

This juried show draws entries not only from New England,<br />

but also from across the country. In total, over 230 imagemakers<br />

have shown in the PRC Members’ Exhibitions—<br />

representing an array of “ones to watch.”<br />

For this feature article, the PRC has chosen 10 artists from<br />

each of the past 10 exhibitions (1996-2005) to highlight.<br />

We hope that you enjoy this roster and join us in congratulating<br />

these artists for their recent achievements. A full list<br />

of all artists and jurors from the past 10 years is on display<br />

in the gallery as well as available online. The PRC continues<br />

to sing the praises of those whose work has graced our<br />

walls—as supporting such talent is part of our mission<br />

as New England’s center for photography. We look forward<br />

to seeing and showing the work of the next generation of<br />

artists yet to be discovered.<br />
