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 />

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 />

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 />
