from the Director 

Welcome to the 2008 year end issue of in the loupe. 

it has been a particularly eventful year for the PrC. thousands of members have 

attended our exhibitions, lectures, workshops, member events, and youth programs. 

tens of thousands of members (and i’m sure a few non-members) have logged on 

to the PrC web site, blog, flickr pages, Myspace pages, and facebook pages. the 

expansion of the PrC community in both the real and the virtual world is due in 

great part to the amazing energy of the PrC staff, the board, and a legion of volunteers. 

thanks again everyone. 

I’d like to take a minute to comment on two very important events. 

first, the introduction of the PrC Portfolio. in september, the PrC published its 

first portfolio in 26 years. the photographers included in the portfolio are Barbara 

Bosworth, Jim Dow, lalla essaydi, ralph Gibson, frank Gohlke, emmet Gowin, 

robert and shana Parkeharrison, David hilliard, henry horenstein, Jocelyn lee, 

laura McPhee, susan Meiselas, arno rafael Minkkinen, abelardo Morell, Patti smith, 

and sage sohier. By all accounts, the portfolio has been both a critical and financial 

success. 

second, Michael Christiano said goodbye. Despite major begging and pleading, 

Michael accepted the position of Curator of education at the southeastern Center 

for Contemporary art in winston-salem, north Carolina. if you attended a lecture, 

a workshop, or enrolled your child in Photo Camp, you know firsthand the extent 

of Michael’s contribution. we will miss him greatly. 

Jim Fitts, Executive Director 

Cary Wolinsky, Sand House Orange 

PRC/MIT Exhibition Initiative 

the PrC, together with the Center for theoretical Physics at Massachusetts institute 

of technology, announces the second joint photographic exhibition program in the 

CtP’s new space at Mit. the second exhibition in the program, titled Photographs from 

The Sandhouse Series and The Threads Project, features the work of Cary wolinsky. the exhibition 

will be on display from november 2008 through august 2009 at the CtP at Mit, 

on the third floor of Building 6 at 77 Massachusetts avenue, Cambridge. 

PrC member and photographer robert Jaffe initiated the joint PrC/Mit project. robert 

is the Morningstar Professor of Physics and Mac vicar faculty fellow at the Mit Center 

for theoretical Physics. the new space, which features a major installation by sol 

lewitt and an exhibition of photographs by ansel adams, was dedicated on october 4, 

2007 and was kicked off by a year-long PrC/Mit exhibition of works by John Chervinsky. 

the exhibition can be viewed Monday through friday during regular school hours.

announcements 

new england school of Photography (nesoP) as well as the broader photographic 

community lost two important people recently. the PrC is honored to share two 

tributes written by fellow photographers and friends. 

Miriam Goodman, 1938 – 2008 

By Karen Davis 

Miriam Goodman was passionate about photography — her 

practice and everybody else’s. as a teacher of “word and 

image” art and portfolio development, she inspired many. 

it took someone with her unique background to initiate a 

series, sponsored by nesoP and lesley seminars, now in its 

13th year, where poets and photographers create a work of 

art in the form of their collaborative presentation. as photography 

editor of Women’s Review of Books, she introduced 

readers to socially conscious photographers she felt should 

have a broader audience. artist, teacher, collaborator, and 

friend —Miriam left a wonderful legacy. for her photography and 

word and image pieces, please see www.MiriamGoodman.com. 

PRC Board President Cathy England made a special speech 

bidding adieu to Michael Christiano during the 2008 PRC Benefit 

Live Auction. He received a farewell photograph by Stella 

Johnson as a parting gift. Photograph by Mike Howard. 

Farewell Michael! 

For those of you who have not heard, we are sad to announce that 

Michael Christiano has resigned from his position as Education Manager. 

During his three years in that capacity Michael ushered in a 

wave of successful programs and outreach initiatives. Who will ever 

forget our packed master lecture series or his fun-filled tours? Under 

Michael’s stewardship the PRC’s education program grew by leaps and 

bounds, garnered numerous prestigious grants, and is now known 

nationally. We will all miss Michael’s humor and ability to lift heavy 

objects, not to mention his dedication, enthusiasm, and passion for 

education. Michael has accepted a position as Curator of Education at 

the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, NC. 

He and his wife Becca relocated to the South in November. Please join 

us in wishing our favorite educator the best in his new endeavors. 

And stay tuned for an introduction to our new Education Manager! 

Tom Petit, 1942 – 2008 

By Henry Horenstein 

tom Petit died august 4. he was the consummate teacher. 

tom knew his stuff and supported his students. he had 

totally positive energy, despite battling health problems 

most of his life. 

tom came to nesoP in the 1970s to teach color photography 

at a time when everyone else worked in black and white. 

the nesoP population was very mixed in those days — from 

60s dropouts to marine vets, returning from vietnam. tom 

treated everyone equally — with kindness, good spirit, and 

hard work. 

tom was an innovator, whose personal work was strong, 

emotive, and underappreciated. Much like tom himself.

the PrC will be closed December 20 – January 4 for campus

neo > december 2008 > Caleb Charland 

www.prcboston.org/charland.htm

family homes, clearly developing a penchant for transforming household materials. 

Charland graduated with departmental honors from the Massachusetts College of art 

and Design in 2004. his exhibition record includes showings at wall space in seattle, wa 

and the stoneCrop Gallery in ogunquit, Me. in 2007, he was an honorable Mention for 

the aperture Prize and was the fellowship award recipient from the silvereye Center 

for Photography. applying a do-it-yourself aesthetic and citing inspiration ranging form 

children’s books to science experiments, Charland produces elegant black and white 

studies, duly dubbed Demonstrations. awarded a trustees’ scholarship, Charland has recently 

started the Mfa program at the art institute of Chicago. 

neo > January 2009 > Heyward Hart 

www.prcboston.org/hart.htm 

heyward hart (somerville, Ma) earned his Ba in anthropology and studio art from the

tn; artsPaCe@16 in Malden, Ma; and the Public library of Brookline, Ma. featured online 

are selections from a new series inspired by drawing. acknowledging black and white 

photography’s unique power to accentuate linear qualities, hart focuses his lens on a 

wide variety of everyday subjects and settings. ranging from residue of leaves on the 

hood of a truck to chalk drawings between dying vines on the side of a house, hart 

mines the world for tracings and constructions, bringing a new understanding to early 

photography’s idea of “photogenic drawing.”

a 1999 graduate of Massachusetts College of art and Design, Brian Unwin (wayland, Ma) 

is a master black and white printer and is currently Production Manager at the atelier at 

Palm Press, inc. fascinated by industrial areas and sites of re-use, Unwin has been photographing 

strange urban structures and vast empty expanses for several years. his work 

focuses on the ever changing lines between rural and urban landscapes and the development 

that brings the two together. whether it is a storage facility or the side of an ikea 

store, Unwin’s work balances compositional form with sculptural space. shown in venues 

ranging from the new Bedford art Museum to toledo friends of Photography, his work 

can be found in numerous private collections and regional benefit auctions. Unwin’s most 

recent solo and group exhibitions including showings at his gallery, Gallery Kayafas.

lecture/book siGninG > Animalia 

with henry horenstein 

Tuesday, December 2, 7pm 

Boston university’s sargent college auditorium 102, 

635 commonwealth avenue, Boston, free 

Mark your calendar for an animated presentation with local luminary 

henry horenstein on his most recent monograph, Animalia, in addition 

to a career overview. Animalia represents the best of horenstein’s 

images of sea and land creatures. Described variously as evocative, 

mysterious, romantic, surprising, and weird, horenstein’s abstract 

images will make the viewer see otherwise familiar animals in a new 

and different light. in addition to Animalia, horenstein has published 

over 30 books including the monographs Humans, Creatures, Aquatics, 

Canine, and Racing Days, and some of the most widely used instructional 

texts in the field such as Black & White Photography, Beyond 

Basic Photography, Photography, and Color Photography. his current photographs, 

Show, on the worlds of burlesque, fetish, drag, and sideshow, 

will be published next year. a committed educator and professor at 

risD, horenstein lives and works in Boston, Ma. the artist will be on 

hand to sign copies of Animalia, which will be available for sale.

Boston university’s college of arts and sciences, 5th floor, 

auditorium 522, 725 commonwealth avenue, Boston 

Don’t miss this engaging and interactive presentation by prominent 

photographer larry fink. Social Graces, fink’s first book, cemented his 

international reputation in the late 1970s. this body of work presents 

two seemingly disparate social strata–high society events, primarily 

in new york City, and the parties of working class families in Pennsylvania. 

what unites the two is fink’s distinctive vision and ability to 

render his subjects without guise or artifice. these candid moments 

portray a range of human gestures — both subtle and theatrical — that 

imply deeper narratives, relationships, and commentaries. fink has 

gone on to other prominent bodies of work including Boxing: Photographs 

by Larry Fink; Runway: Photographs by Larry Fink; The Forbidden 

Pictures; the eponymous Larry Fink; and Larry Fink: Somewhere There’s 

Music, among others. his most recent project, “the Democrats,” covers 

the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination campaign, fink is well 

known for his editorial photography and shoots for Conde nast Publications 

including Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, GQ, and The New York Times 

Magazine. his work has been exhibited and collected by many prestigious 

museums and has earned him top honors and awards including, 

two John simon Guggenheim Memorial foundation fellowships and 

two national endowment for the arts Grants. fink — a committed 

educator — has also taught for 43 years and is currently a tenured 

professor of photography at Bard College.

KeepingTime: 

Cycle and Duration in Contemporary Photography 

November 7, 2008 – January 25, 2009 

by Leslie K. Brown, PRC Curator 

This group exhibition brings together photographers who deal with concepts of time, 

duration, and cycles — human, celestial, and photographic — in their work. From the 

“music of the spheres” to “seasonal affective disorder,” there is no doubt that humans 

are affected by time and the natural rhythms of the sun, moon, tides, and seasons. 

Since its very beginnings, photography has been lauded as nature capturing itself 

and as a method with which to stop, preserve, and contemplate time. 

In creating their work, each artist in Keeping Time uses a different idea or aesthetic 

means to capture time and bookend or collect their exposures. For example, several 

in the show create rules or use outside activities to dictate when the shutter is open 

and closed. Others follow important celestial markers, like equinoxes, or human markers, 

like birthdays or conversations. Concomitant with this, a number of the artists in 

the exhibition incorporate, and often welcome, elements of chance within their work. 

Photography can cumulatively record time and light in a way that no other medium 

(or even our eyes) can. Recalling earlier motion and time studies of Eadweard Muybridge 

and Étienne-Jules Marey, some alter their cameras or construct new forms of

light recording devices. These artists cut to the core of the medium itself and duly 

consider the interesting possibilities of light as subject as well as the materializing of 

the medium 

Time itself is both an experience and a construct. Our understanding and conception of 

it has changed over time and place. “Standard time” came into being as a result of the 

railroads needing to coordinate schedules; “daylight savings time” is itself a convention, 

adopted to take advantage of daylight in the summer months. Today, new developments 

in physics and astronomy challenge and extend our traditional conceptions of 

light, space, and time. This work also brings to mind philosophical and mathematical 

concepts of duration and time—from the theories of Henri Bergson to Albert Einstein. 

As time seems to pass by faster and faster everyday, these artists grant us a chance 

to look to the sky and slow down. It is not a far jump, then, for us to contemplate the 

natural cycle of life and death, not only for astronomical bodies, but for our own 

bodies as well. Simply put, Keeping Time aims to unite various projects that attempt 

to make sense of and keep time.

Stuart Allen (Born 1970, Wichita, Kansas: Lives San Antonio, TX) 

In his series “Light Maps,” Stuart Allen investigates the color of 

light by exploiting a difference in the manner in which our eyes 

and cameras perceive light. By disabling the automatic white balance 

feature of his digital camera, he records the changing color 

of ambient daylight. Allen places a piece of white sailcloth in front 

of the lens and creates exposures at predetermined time frames. 

Cropped and assembled in strips, the images create modified panoramas. 

Akin to 19th century survey photographs, information at 

the bottom of each print conveys the time of day, interval captured, 

and longitude/latitude coordinates. Much like a scientific chart, 

sunrise and sunset are often pointed out on the spectrum. The 

resulting artworks could be likened to a 21st century parsing of 

impressionism. With his work, Allen reminds us that cameras can 

often tell us something about our environment (and by extension, 

our perception and conception of it) that we wouldn’t otherwise see. 

Allen’s diverse background includes training in architecture and a 

BFA in photography and video from the Kansas City Art Institute. 

Allen is collected by national and international institutions and has 

been an artist-in-residence and commissioned public artist at several 

institutions in California and Texas. 

erika Blumenfeld (Born 1971, Newark, NJ; lives Marfa, TX) 

Through a variety of hand-crafted, “light recording” devices, Erika 

Blumenfeld documents light at daily and seasonal intervals. Working 

with natural light and photo sensitive materials throughout her 

career—from large scale photographs to Polaroid installations— 

even her video pieces are derived from photographs. In Moving 

Light: Spring 2005, Blumenfeld documented the 93 days between

the vernal equinox and the summer solstice. Holding her recording 

device up towards her source of light, the sun, she took a 2-second 

exposure every night at 6:17pm (which marked the exact time 

of civil twilight on the day she began this project). The resulting 

transparencies were scanned and morphed into a looped video 

with the timing based on her heartbeat. The pulsating, glowing video 

gradually grows brighter as the sun moves towards its zenith. 

Through her work, Blumenfeld hopes to offer us an opportunity to 

reconsider phenomena that we experience everyday. 

Originally from the Boston area, Blumenfeld holds a BFA from 

Parsons School of Design. Now a resident of Marfa, TX, she was 

drawn to the light in Santa Fe, NM, where she developed this 

process. Nationally and internationally exhibited, she is a Creative 

Capital Foundation grant recipient and was awarded a Guggenheim 

Fellowship in 2008. 

Rebecca Cummins (Born 1957, Ft. Dodge, IA; Lives Seattle, WA) 

In addition to rainbow machines, periscope silver goblets, and 

camera obscura installations, other sculptural and photographic 

projects by Rebecca Cummins record the movement of shadows. 

In “Café Gnomonics,” she brings her own tablecloth to a variety of 

international locations, traces the shadows cast, and documents 

the outcome. (Gnomonics is the art or science of constructing 

sundials; the gnomon is the shadow caster or time indicator.) Here, 

the glasses and bottles act as the gnomons and colored pens are 

used to record specific times. The result is a physical manifestation 

of the duration of human acts of conversation or consumption. 

Cummins taught at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney 

and is currently an Associate Professor at the University of

devices. Internationally shown and commissioned, Cummins 

has recently participated in the Biennial of Seville, Spain and the 

Shanghai Biennial, China. 

Chris mcCaw (Born 1971, Daly City, CA; Lives San Francisco, CA) 

About five years ago, Chris McCaw fell asleep during an all-night 

exposure. The light of the rising sun caused the film to reverse, 

a process called solarization, and day appeared as night. Today, 

after years of thought and experimentation, McCaw has developed 

a different version of the process — he uses special military reconnaissance 

lenses and handmade large cameras to overexpose 

vintage paper. The resulting one-of-a-kind paper negatives show 

the effects of the sun literally tracing time. His favorite part of the 

process is watching smoke come out of the camera and a scent 

recalling roasted marshmallows emanating from the burning gelatin. 

McCaw holds a BFA from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. 

In the last 3 years, he has had close to 30 solo and group 

exhibitions. The recipient of two grants from the Andy Warhol 

Foundation, his work has recently been acquired by the 

Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum. 

Sharon Harper (Born Stamford, CT; Lives Cambridge, MA) 

Using the camera as a transformative agent, Sharon Harper questions 

conventions of photography. In her series “Moon Studies 

and Star Scratches,” she accumulates several exposures, made 

often in several different places, onto one single sheet of film. Her

2005, Clearmont, Wyoming, 15, 30, 20, 8, 5, 1, 5, 2, 1 minute exposures; 

15, 8, 10, 14 second exposures. Evoking another aspect 

of time, Harper often shifts or changes the camera’s position to 

paint the film’s surface with light millions of years old. For Harper, 

this work also draws upon and alludes to the sublime in terms of 

space, time, and subject. 

Currently an Assistant Professor at Harvard University, Harper 

holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. Shown internationally, 

her work is held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of 

American Art and the Museum of Modern Art. She has held numerous 

residencies at venues from the Banff Centre in Canada to the 

UCross Foundation in Wyoming. 

matthew pillsbury (Born 1973, Neuilly, France; Lives New York, NY) 

In his series “Screen Lives,” Matthew Pillsbury captures people 

experiencing a variety of media via long exposures. Using only 

available light, Pillsbury leaves the shutter open for the duration of 

an entire electronically-mediated event—a cell phone conversation, 

movie, video game, or late night television show. The illumination 

bathes the rooms with a simultaneous physical presence and psychological 

absence. A typical title captures the duration and topic 

of the exposure and hints at an experience gained, or, depending 

on how you look at it, time lost. 

Pillsbury attended Yale University for his BFA and earned his MFA 

in photography from the School of Visual Arts in 2004. Collected in 

over 25 public and private collections, Pillsbury was awarded the 

2007 HSBC Photography Foundation Award.

Byron Wolfe (Born Alamosa, Colorado, 1967; Lives Chico, CA) 

Every day between Byron Wolfe’s thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth 

birthdays, he tried to make one compelling photograph of an 

ordinary moment. At the end of every day, he reviewed the images, 

selected one, and wrote a caption. He chose his birthday 

as a starting point, as it fell in the summer and seemed more 

appropriate and personal. Inscribed on the prints are phrases 

and dates that suggest and remind us of the simple things in 

life and the passage of time. On display in the gallery will be 

a suite of small framed prints arranged according to the four 

seasons. Everyday: A Yearlong Photo Diary was published by 

Chronicle Books in 2007. 

Wolfe earned his MFA from Arizona State University and is 

currently an Associate Professor at California State University 

at Chico. Among his numerous awards and honors, Wolfe was 

selected for the 2004 Santa Fe Prize for Photography. Wolfe 

has been frequent and long-time collaborator with Mark Klett.
