from the director 

Not acting anymore. 

For six months the word “acting” has been the first word in my job title. As you read in the last 

issue, I have been named Executive Director and I can officially remove “acting” from the title. 

Before I get to the business of the day, I want to thank the people who gave me support and 

council over the last six months. Rick Grossman and the PRC Board of Directors were always 

available to take my phone calls and answer my never-ending questions. Our small in number, 

but mighty in talent, staff take the bulk of the credit for keeping the PRC on track during 

the transition and continuing to present world class exhibitions, educational programs, and 

member services, all the while bringing me up to speed on the millions of details I needed to 

address. I also had the good fortune of having a great number of the never-shy-with-their-position-on-issues 

photographers to bounce my ideas off of. 

With that said, the PRC transitions from spring into summer with the last week of our current 

exhibition Picture Show closely followed by Exposure: The 12th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition 

and a Photographic Resource Center full of noisy, next generation photographers attending 

classes in our youth education program, appropriately called Photo Camp. 

We look forward to the upcoming fall when the PRC will conclude its yearlong 30th anniversary 

celebration with a very special event that will coincide with the 2007 PRC Benefit Auction. 

We know that you appreciate the numerous educational and networking events that we offer and 

if you would like to get involved in volunteering your time or services to support the organization, 

please contact me.

REMEMBERING CARL SIEMBAB by Carl Chiarenza 

Carl Siembab 

(January 5, 1926 - February 27, 2007) 

Photo credit: Bill Jay 

Half a century ago Carl Siembab began exhibiting photographs in 

his gallery on Newbury Street in Boston. It was the beginning of a 

pioneering effort. In 1959 he put up exhibitions of Aaron Siskind 

and Berenice Abbott. That was the beginning of a new chapter in 

the history of photography. His deep understanding of a body of 

work was evident in his regularly applauded arrangements on the 

walls of his gallery. 

In the post-World War II world of photography no one did more to 

bring serious public respect to the art and artist of photography. He 

did it, essentially alone, when there was little interest at large. He 

educated a growing community of artists, curators, collectors and 

new gallery operators. He set standards. 

Lee Lockwood wrote, in 1981, that Siembab was “an incalculable 

influence on the development of public acceptance of photography 

as an art form.” That accomplishment, paradoxically and unfortunately 

is largely forgotten. 

For additional 

In an interview in 1971 by Robert Brown for the Archives Sponsors of American 

Art: Siembab said “I have a ... fanatical belief in the Supporters, 

integrity 

and 

of photography as an artistic medium. I also strongly believe that it 

please visit 

will be the most significant medium in the coming generation.... 

I think most of our artistic experiences will come through some 

prcboston.org 

photographic 

means.” (Quoted by Kim Sichel in Photography in Boston, 

1953-1985, MIT Press, 2000)

and create photography. Students explored 

the work of visiting artists from the PRC’s lecture 

series, prior to that artist’s visit. They then 

assumed the role of arts journalists as they 

met with and interviewed these internationally 

renowned artists. Interviews were audiorecorded

EXHIBITIONS IN THE GALLERY 

PICTURE SHOW 

THROUGH MAY 6, 2007 

Picture Show features artists who engage 

the idea of “moving pictures” in the 21st 

century via work that evokes early optical 

and cinematic devices. In purpose, practice, 

and philosophy, these contemporary conjurers 

remind us of practitioners of bygone 

eras and pursue the same goal: to incite 

wonder. Within a gallery space turned theater/cabinet 

of curiosity, you can interact 

with, peer into, and animate many of the 

artworks—constructions that exist somewhere 

between photography, new media, sculpture, 

and installation. Although often antique 

in appearance, each piece uses technology—high 

or low, revealed or concealed— 

to produce allusions and illusions to delight 

the eyes and the mind. Artists include Steve 

Hollinger, Olivia Robinson, Erica von Schilgen, 

and Deb Todd Wheeler, along with 

work on loan from le Musée Patamécanique 

by Hans Spinnermen. The exhibition is 

presented in conjunction with the biennial 

Boston Cyberarts Festival (April 20-May 6, 

2007), a region-wide celebration of art and 

technology. More information on all exhibitions 

and events can be found at www.

NEO | MAY 2007 

David Strasburger 

www.bu.edu/prc/strasburger.htm 

A Boston native and a current resident of Somerville MA, David 

Strasburger is a physics teacher at Noble and Greenough School, 

an independent school in Dedham MA. Largely self-taught, Strasburger 

continues to learn photographic craft from friends and colleagues 

along the way. A graduate of Oberlin College, he has 

attended Maine Photographic Workshops and been schooled in 

alternative processes with noted experts Christopher James and 

Pradip Malde. After building a darkroom on a sabbatical, he drove 

across the country photographing what he thought of as “domestic 

landscapes,” looking for what he has described as “the geometry of 

intimacy and the anatomy of inhabited space.” Featured online will 

be a selection from this ongoing series titled “Analemma,” printed 

delicately in the handmade processes of kallitype and platinum/palladium. 

Often framing a view or a spatial or emotional expanse, 

Strasburger’s diptychs and triptychs are his way of attempting to 

answer or pose questions he cannot address in any other way than 

by taking a photograph. 

The PRC announces the next installments in the Northeast Exposure online 

(NEO) series. The virtual gallery is by invite only and features a selection of 

images, a biography, artist and curator statements, and links.

FILM: PICTURE SHOW AT THE 

PARADISE WITH ZAMPANO’S 

PLAYHOUSE 

AN EVENING OF VINTAGE FILMS AND 

CINEMATIC THRILLS TO CELEBRATE 

THE CLOSING OF PICTURE SHOW 

TUESDAY, MAY 1, 7PM 

PARADISE LOUNGE, 969 COMMONWEALTH 

AVENUE, BOSTON (THEDISE.COM) 

FREE 

THIS IS AN 18 AND OVER EVENT. 

As a closing act for the PRC’s Picture Show 

exhibition, this screening of vintage 16mm 

films offers an eclectic study of innovation in 

motion. Each film in this evening’s roughly 

chronological romp through the 20th Century 

will present an innovation captured or 

imagined on film, or an innovation in film 

technology itself. The genius of the Fleischer 

Brothers is prominently displayed in several 

gems including Betty Boop in SNOW 

WHITE (1933). In anticipation of the Internet, 

the illicit short UNCLE SI AND THE 

SIRENS (1938) portrays a yokel’s television 

as an imagined gateway to nude women 

romping in faraway lands. Later segments 

present the wonderful color technology that 

is KODACHROME as seen in one of Jam 

Handy’s Chevrolet promotions, THE RAIN- 

BOW IS YOURS (1952). Enjoy several 

MARVEL COMICS cartoons from 1966, in 

which the company brought Captain America, 

Iron Man, Thor, and others to television.

MONWEALTH AVENUE, BOSTON 

FREE 

Join award-winning photographer Dorothy 

Kerper Monnelly for a discussion of her new 

book Between Land and Sea: The Great 

Marsh. This collection of 57 exquisite black 

and white photographs, crisply rendered 

from Monnelly’s large-format silver gelatin 

prints, is a spellbinding meditation on the 

Great Marsh, a vast, mysterious, and evershifting 

world that is one of the last unspoiled 

wilderness areas of the Northeast. 

Following the discussion of her book, a 

panel of experts will join Monnelly to 

explore significant ecological, environmental, 

and preservation issues raised by the images 

from a variety of perspectives. Topics to be 

considered include the history and biology 

of the Great Marsh and coastal marshes in 

general, the current ecological state of the 

Marsh, its threats, and preservation efforts. 

The panel will also address how other artists 

and writers have been inspired by this 

sublime landscape. Panelists include: David 

Mountain PhD, Professor, Biomedical Engineering, 

Boston University and founder of

her thesis show, “My Mother and Other Things from the Sky.” In a 

style that she describes as “intimate distance,” Rozovsky delicately 

depicts people and objects in various states of transition, gravity, 

and gravitas.

Avenue, Boston 

$120 Members/ $170 Non-Members/$95 

Full–Time Students 


call 617.975.0600. 

Join master printmaker Bruce Myren for an 

intensive seminar on how to create beautiful 

and accurate prints from your digital files. 

Participants will learn about monitor calibration, 

color correction, building a proper 

profile, and how to effectively output their 

digital files into fine digital prints. This workshop 

is for novice to intermediate photographers 

who want to learn how to successfully 

produce high quality ink-jet prints from their 

digitally captured photographic images. 

Although he shoots most of his personal work 

with his 8 x 10 Deardorff camera, Bruce 

Myren has always been at the forefront of 

digital imaging technology. He started the 

digital imaging room at E.P. Levine, Inc., in 

1996, where he was the “Digital Evangelist” 

for 4 years. He has taught at the Center 

for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University, 

served as the US tech rep for Eyelike 

medium format digital backs (now Sinar), 

and was a digital mentor for American Photo 

Magazine’s Mentor Series. Currently, he 

is an adjunct faculty member with the new 

digital photography program at The New 

England Institute of Art (Brookline, MA). 

Bruce started his own freelance company, 

BeeDigital, in 1999 and continues today to 

help photographers, art directors, and publishing 

houses navigate the digital world. His 

work was recently the subject of a one-person 

show at Gallery Kayafas. Visit Bruce’s

Telling a story with still images can take 

many forms, from literal time-based chronologies 

to more allegorical pieces. This 

workshop is for those interested in working 

with narrative to form bodies of work, rather 

than single photographs. The workshop will 

begin with a discussion of student work. 

Rantoul will then go over the images in his 

book American Series as a base from which 

to explore story telling with photographs. 

This active hands-on workshop will meet 

Saturday at the PRC followed by a field trip 

on Sunday. It then will conclude Thursday 

evening with a presentation and critique of 

the students’ final work. 

Neal Rantoul is a career artist and teacher. 

He has taught photography for thirty years 

and is currently head of the Photography 

Program at Northeastern University. Mr. Rantoul 

has work in numerous public and private 

collections. Among those are: The Boston 

Museum of Fine Arts, The DeCordova 

Museum, the Fogg Art Museum, and The 

High Museum in Atlanta. He is the recipient 

of many awards and grants including a 

Whiting Foundation Fellowship, a Lightwork 

(Syracuse, NY) residency, RSDF, FDP and 

IDF grants from Northeastern University, and 

was a finalist twice for the Massachusetts 

Cultural Council award. His monograph 

American Series was published by Pond 

Press in 2006. His work can be seen at:

MASTERS WORKSHOP: PHOTO 

IMAGINING IN THE DIGITAL AGE 

WITH OLIVIA PARKER 

SATURDAY, JULY 21, 10AM-5PM 

SUNDAY, JULY 22, 10AM-5PM 

THURSDAY, JULY 26, 5-8PM 

The workshop will meet at the PRC, 832 

Commonwealth Avenue, Boston 




call 617.975.0600. 

In this workshop we will explore the development 

of image ideas as well as the 

technical possibilities in Photoshop that open 

the door to individual expression. With an 

emphasis on the layers palette we will work 

with both single images and composites to 

see past the usual color correction, crop, 

and sharpen of single images and the ordinary 

cut and paste of composites. Moving 

toward its expressive potential, a digital 

image can evoke thoughts in the viewer that go 

well beyond the Wow! How did they do that 

This is not a beginning Photoshop workshop. 

Participants should have a good basic 

knowledge of Photoshop and bring a laptop 

loaded with Photoshop CS, CS2 or CS3. 

The instructor will be using CS3. Everyone 

should bring at least 20 image files. It’s 

okay to bring more if you want to have a 

range of material to select from as ideas 

grow and change during the workshop. Also, 

each person should bring a digital camera 

(with the option of manual focus if possible). 

Olivia Parker makes ephemeral constructions 

to photograph and experiments with 

the endless possibilities of light. She makes 

black and white and color photographs 

in many formats from 35mm to Polaroid 

20x24. Also, since 1993 she has been 

using her potographs as source material 

for digital images. In 2000 she began to 

use digital cameras for straight work as 

well as composite. She has had more than 

one hundred one-person exhibitions in the 

United States and abroad, and her work is 

represented in major private, corporate, and 

museum collections. She has lectured and 

conducted workshops extensively both in 

this country and abroad. For more on Olivia

IN CELEBRATION OF THE PRC’S 30TH ANNIVERSARY 

MAY 25 – JULY 1, 2007 

Each year, the Photographic Resource Center 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 Jen Bekman, founder and director 

of jen bekman, a pioneering fine art gallery in New 

York City’s burgeoning Bowery arts district, as the 2007 

guest juror. For this year’s exhibition, Bekman selected 

16 artists out of 317 submissions (that translates to 

close to 40 pieces from over 3000 images)—the largest 

number of entries ever received in the exhibition’s history. 

With between ten and twenty people selected, The 

Annual PRC Juried Exhibition is a highly competitive and 

nationally-revered program. All winners exhibit several 

images each in the PRC gallery and are also highlighted 

in the PRC’s publication, in the loupe, which is 

distributed to thousands of visitors, members, museums, 

colleges, and university and college libraries. 

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 230 artists have shown 

in the PRC Juried Exhibitions—including an array of 

established photographers and those cited as “ones to 

watch.” Invited guest jurors represent esteemed curators, 

photographers and photography professionals from 

the region and beyond. Past jurors of the Annual PRC 

Juried Exhibition have included: Jeanine Fijol, Photo 

Editor of Photo District News (PDN) magazine; Alison 

Devine Nordström, Curator of Photographs, George 

Eastman House, Rochester, NY; Rachel Rosenfield Lafo, 

Director of Curatorial Affairs at the DeCordova Museum 

and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA; Chris Enos, artist, 

educator, and founder of the PRC; Diana Gaston, then 

independent curator; 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 12th Annual Juried Exhibition. 

About the 2007 Guest Juror, Jen Bekman 

Jen Bekman is the founder and director of jen bekman. 

Since March of 2003, the gallery has attracted the 

attention of critics, museum curators, and collectors 

alike, with its focus on emerging artists and innovative 

group shows. Visit jenbekman.com to learn more and 

be sure to check out the gallery’s fast-growing quarterly 

photography competition, Hey, Hot Shot! at heyhotshot. 

com. Gallery artists and exhibitions have been featured 

extensively online and in publications such as The New 

York Times, W Magazine, The Village Voice, and New 

York Magazine and in art-related publications including 

Art in America, ARTFORUM, Photo District News, and 

Photograph. Bekman is also the editor of the popular 

weblog, personism.com, bringing the gallery and its artists 

to the attention of an even broader audience. American 

Photo recently named Bekman “Gallery Innovator of the 

Year.” We are thrilled to have this rising artworld star be 

a part of our 30th anniversary celebration. 

- Leslie K. Brown, PRC Curator 

Daniel Ballesteros (Willimantic, CT) uses elements of 

camera sight to suggest ethereal memories and nascent narratives 

in interior spaces. Currently a MFA candidate at the 

University of Connecticut at Storrs, Ballesteros has shown in 

galleries from St. Louis, to Chicago, to Santa Fe. 

Chris Bentley (Medford, MA) focuses on the West—both 

its present boom and vestiges of its past—in his ongoing 

series, “Desert States: The Edge of America.” A graduate of 

Trinity College, Bentley has also studied at New England 

School of Photography (NESOP) and is an active commercial 

photographer and filmmaker. He has shown regionally at 

the Cambridge Art Association, Copley Society of Art, and 

at a variety of film festivals. 

Anastasia Cazabon (Brighton, MA) draws upon fairy 

tales as inspiration. In her anonymous figure’s imaginative 

exploits, there are distinctly contemporary and somewhat 

subversive undertones. A 2005 NESOP graduate, Cazabon 

has been published in F-Stop Magazine, FILE Magazine, 

and online with Projekt30. She is a founding member of 

The Exposure Project, a collective of emerging photographers. 

Jon Edwards (South Freeport, ME) has been documenting 

individuals in Maine who have chosen to pursue traditional 

trades or ways of living. Formerly a lawyer and currently a 

MFA candidate at the Maine Photographic Workshops/ 

Rockport College, Edwards has exhibited at Silvereye Center 

for Photography, Pittsburgh, PA; Center for Maine Contemporary 

Art, Rockport, ME; and was recently selected for the DVD 

publication Photography Now: One Hundred Portfolios. 

Erin Eriksen (Brighton, MA) investigates what she calls 

our “feigning of the ‘the natural” via carefully composed 

and considered images of domesticated foliage in interior 

and exterior environments. A studio assistant to Henry 

Horenstein, Eriksen is a graduating BFA student majoring in 

photography and art history at the Art Institute of Boston. 

Erik Gould (Pawtucket, RI) is a part of a monumental project—the 

Rhode Island Photographic Survey—documenting 

everything from major intersections, roadside memorials, to 

entire streets. Gould received his MFA in photography from 

Ohio University, his BA from the State University of New 

York, College at Geneseo, and has participated in numerous 

group and solo exhibitions. 

John Hirsch (Jamaica Plain, MA) explores mixed martial 

arts events in his ongoing photographic series “A Duty Paid.” 

Holding a BA in psychology, Hirsch studied at the Maine 

Photographic Workshops and currently teaches at Noble 

& Greenough School, Dedham, MA. His exhibition record 

includes shows at the South Shore Art Center, Cohasset, 

MA and the Waterford Gallery, Sandy, UT, among others. 

Robert Knight (Boston, MA) searches for interiors that 

act as surrogates for their creators, focusing on the forgotten 

details and unusual arrangements. Knight’s diverse background 

also includes a BA in Economics and Architecture 

from Yale University and a MFA from Massachusetts College 

of Art. His work has recently been selected for New Art 

2007 at MPG Contemporary Gallery, Boston; New Talent 

at Alpha Gallery, Boston; and the annual juried exhibition 

at the Houston Center of Photography, Houston, TX.
