I’d like to take a m<strong>in</strong>ute to comment on two very important events. first, the <strong>in</strong>troduction of the PrC Portfolio. <strong>in</strong> september, the PrC published its first portfolio <strong>in</strong> 26 years. the photographers <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the portfolio are Barbara Bosworth, Jim Dow, lalla essaydi, ralph Gibson, frank Gohlke, emmet Gow<strong>in</strong>, robert and shana Parkeharrison, David hilliard, henry horenste<strong>in</strong>, Jocelyn lee, laura McPhee, susan Meiselas, arno rafael M<strong>in</strong>kk<strong>in</strong>en, abelardo Morell, Patti smith, and sage sohier. By all accounts, the portfolio has been both a critical and f<strong>in</strong>ancial success. second, Michael Christiano said goodbye. Despite major begg<strong>in</strong>g and plead<strong>in</strong>g, Michael accepted the position of Curator of education at the southeastern Center for Contemporary art <strong>in</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ston-salem, north Carol<strong>in</strong>a. if you attended a lecture, a workshop, or enrolled your child <strong>in</strong> Photo Camp, you know firsthand the extent of Michael’s contribution. we will miss him greatly.
