What’s an art lover to do? Curator/writer/educator Tim B. Wride will give his unique, and usually irreverent, look at the state of the Photography World in the wake of our current economic, social, and aesthetic meltdown. Follow as he guides us through the past and present trends that are in crisis, and take a leap as he offers insights into what may be the look of the future. Tim will point fingers, name names, and tilt at windmills as he explains how he dares harbor a satisfied sense of total OPTIMISM for the future of image making.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday 22 May, 2010</span> - 11am - 3pm PCNW<br />cost $95.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Introduction to Critical Looking: A Seminar for Thinking Photographers</span><br /><br />After all the practical workshops, after all the tech consultations, after all the seminars, after all the portfolio reviews ....now what? How does all of the information apply to YOUR process and YOUR work? How do the trends and climate of the art world affect you and your work? Do you know how to look at photographs—including your own—and CRITICALLY ascertain the direction and relevance of them? What is the difference between the work you want to do and the work you SHOULD do? How do you know which way to turn in order to grow as an artist?<br /><br />Curator/writer/educator Tim B. Wride will guide you toward a fuller understanding of the art climate in which you are working and the social, economic, and creative pressures that are affecting your photography. Through a dynamic program of lectures, Q&A’s, and group interaction, we will explore the state of the market, the directions of creative interplay, and, most important, the necessity of critically and intensely LOOKING at the work you see as well as the work you make. For too many artists this is the most overlooked aspect of their tools and talents; for all artists, however, CRITICAL LOOKING is the most basic skill that must be developed in order to challenge and advance their artmaking ability.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sunday 23 May, 2010</span> - 11am - 4.30pm PCNW<br />Cost $375. <span style="font-style: italic;">Class is Limited to 15 participants!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Critical Looking: The Art of Conscious Creativity</span>-<br /><br />Do you know how to look at photographs—including your own—and CRITICALLY ascertain the direction and relevance of them? What is the difference between the work you want to do and the work you SHOULD do? How do you know which way to turn in order to grow as an artist? CRITICAL LOOKING is the key to expanding your awareness and applying a conscious understanding of your artistic process.<br /><br />Tim B. Wride guides you through a dynamic series of historical perspectives, contemporary observations, interactive exercises, group critiques, and one-on-one portfolio reviews with the goal of awakening a fuller understanding of YOUR unique creative process and the directions that may be open to you with this new understanding. Open up your creativity and apply it to the way in which you approach images and imagemaking. Make the move to growth through self-awareness.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">About Tim - </span><br /><br />Tim B. Wride is a voracious consumer of photographic images. He likes nothing better than to look at photographs and talk to photographers about their work.<br />As Curator of the Department of Photographs at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for 14 years, Tim curated over 50 exhibitions, authored and contributed to a dozen books, and has lectured, participated in panels, juried exhibitions, and provided portfolio reviews internationally.

In looking over his website, the images are great, but I miss the words, I want to know why these women are sitting alone at a bus stop, where were they? where are they going?

I think we all did. We started out with such hope for this new year, I don't know anyone who wanted to even see 2009 in the rear view mirror. When the earthquake happened in Haiti, I needed to do something. One of our New Directions artists, Jeff Antebi, had a photograph in the show of Cite Soleil, a Haitian slum. He and I talked about a benefit using his photo, and from there, I saw the power of an image, and wanted to expand the idea.<br />I am so honored to represent such tremendous artists, all banded together to create <a href="http://wallspaceseattle.com/displayShow.php?showID=85&collection=3">Life Support</a>. The gallery and our artists are donating all of the proceeds, so 100% of the purchase goes to the group <a href="http://doctorswithoutborders.org/index.cfm">Doctors Without Borders</a>. I can't think of a more worthy organization.<br /><br />For those of you who have already shopped <a href="http://wallspaceseattle.com/displayShow.php?showID=85&collection=3">Life Support</a>, thank you. For those of you who haven't seen the work yet, take a look.

In the meantime, Buzz always hits the road with me, so I thought I would start with his highlights of the trip. There will be more posts on Chinese photography to follow.

All the pictures resulted from foods, which I cooked and ate. Some of the food, like the chicken soup pictures are reminders of my childhood and my father who made chicken soup every other Monday for many years.<br />To some extent the pictures are related to my history as a sculptor because I think of food as material for art. I am indebted to the artist Joseph Bueys and his use of fat for its physical properties and metaphorical value.<br />I have to admit that while I am not a vegetarian, I live with a reluctance to take as food other animals, who like us have blood in their veins. I have no answer for this dilemma. I can only acknowledge the conflict and try to say, it is a chicken or a pig or the fat rendered from the pig’s body and it is delicious and beautiful and horrible.</span></span></span></span> <!--EndFragment--> </div></div></div>wall space galleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10104060083838693709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330744853209204972.post-23176039966479749082009-11-19T07:05:00.000-08:002009-11-19T07:17:16.479-08:00Lishui Photo - Karen Strom<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRm8aZLXaPLJcixzhzQs-0igUgUPPJdJ0P1kWFQmd9wCBdyOeeOaxGq9rltixiY-pAF-pqiqfiy6A81zJJyEsSvATATspE49J5s91qbaYFYW7MBnwUCLHpVEhdgFoCMx1rWFd6ep786vU/s1600/AntonellasOffice_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRm8aZLXaPLJcixzhzQs-0igUgUPPJdJ0P1kWFQmd9wCBdyOeeOaxGq9rltixiY-pAF-pqiqfiy6A81zJJyEsSvATATspE49J5s91qbaYFYW7MBnwUCLHpVEhdgFoCMx1rWFd6ep786vU/s320/AntonellasOffice_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405833583016400466" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9W45ZMtaAkpFO4-kPTP3MOu-czGnXkJ3n67vXuexHZydvdTJ0Ce8b0gubzREF8C5zdYpwntKrSzI6tEVXikqWgHuCADhvLn_oGOUS2tyezRNzzd1ZKhWDNT1PUZhwXNMgxQ0xOpmgsY/s1600/FtStocktonHouse_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9W45ZMtaAkpFO4-kPTP3MOu-czGnXkJ3n67vXuexHZydvdTJ0Ce8b0gubzREF8C5zdYpwntKrSzI6tEVXikqWgHuCADhvLn_oGOUS2tyezRNzzd1ZKhWDNT1PUZhwXNMgxQ0xOpmgsY/s320/FtStocktonHouse_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405833577982124018" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjND5mWeF40oOAqlRuRFEOkmi4XENjZTJ5Hl51P7TS5r9_-91x95aN64TLLC105R0uOdfBF1tdLflX-6JwY0wNrJRxcpM-eanXnDP-BinhYMaY1aox6DJUbtWU1rK5H1NFAlaATUki5PgI/s1600/Henry'sBarbershop_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjND5mWeF40oOAqlRuRFEOkmi4XENjZTJ5Hl51P7TS5r9_-91x95aN64TLLC105R0uOdfBF1tdLflX-6JwY0wNrJRxcpM-eanXnDP-BinhYMaY1aox6DJUbtWU1rK5H1NFAlaATUki5PgI/s320/Henry'sBarbershop_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405833576056858722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhInE2VWivOzoXglorG9RFWZIMEM1-w4KB7A03zmKG1P6P8CXSbm_P8NYDW9HXFK-chjs1lzdfs-0bhxBi9z08ly56VKS6oy228KFFmhGgDa0V4nY1eehYrZcJRZJEydek3obs5fRykuQo/s1600/TerlinguaAdobe_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhInE2VWivOzoXglorG9RFWZIMEM1-w4KB7A03zmKG1P6P8CXSbm_P8NYDW9HXFK-chjs1lzdfs-0bhxBi9z08ly56VKS6oy228KFFmhGgDa0V4nY1eehYrZcJRZJEydek3obs5fRykuQo/s320/TerlinguaAdobe_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405833564497052946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM-FWrIxtrszIHnf3Pe5F8QZblCDfGqNZ7t_E-PVFiPBi9DWq4DsByVN5DdF7gzy36Q6UJeBfV-4CvyUJGNNJpRX1FAvxvjZSsGtqhcAffyUt20-CARnyMKDys1QRIiPEOiMvcluO01pc/s1600/TheGap_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM-FWrIxtrszIHnf3Pe5F8QZblCDfGqNZ7t_E-PVFiPBi9DWq4DsByVN5DdF7gzy36Q6UJeBfV-4CvyUJGNNJpRX1FAvxvjZSsGtqhcAffyUt20-CARnyMKDys1QRIiPEOiMvcluO01pc/s320/TheGap_Web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405833566195598002" border="0" /></a><br />Karen Strom is one of a pair of Stroms. Her husband, Stephen is a photographer as well. Both Stroms are accomplished scientists, who have now focused on creative endeavors. Stephen's work, abstract large scale landscapes, was profiled earlier this month as part of the Lishui Festival. Karen's work is significantly different than Stephen's in her process, eye and creative focus. Her composited works create environments, visions and scenes that are often miles apart. Her blending of textures creates what she calls Architectonics.<br /><br />Here is more about her process -<br /><br />"The world I see is composed of many different layers, scales and moments. When making an image, I explore the relationships between multiple facets of the world, integrating them into a single vision in an attempt to mimic the manner in which the mind forms composite impressions from the array of images that are constantly impinging upon you. While the resulting images often evoke disparate, even conflicting, responses, they ultimately capture a more complete impression of a landscape or object: details are synthesized into broader views; interiors integrated into exterior views. It is the ambiguity of my images, the feelings evoked by differing scales, perspectives and viewpoints, that together work to yield an integrated image of a landscape. It is these visions that I then attempt to translate into a single image, hoping to evoke similar emotional and intellectual responses in the viewer.

She had a beautiful, romantic and really gorgeous portfolio on Venice. Sarah is also one of the participants of the Lishui Festival. The organizing committee chose a different body of work, Water's Edge. Having spent my youth on a beach, and getting back to it as often as I can, I understand the power the ocean holds over us, the metaphors it can conjure and most often I have the overwhelming urge to plunge in and be surrounded in the silence. Sarah's images lead me to that moment. Her Black and white images showcase that fluid ever changing boundary beautifully.</span><br /><br />about <span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span><!--StartFragment--><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >"The Water's Edge":<br /><br />I grew up spending entire summer days by the ocean. These outings were always a special event and the beach was a place of wonderment, fascination and exploration for me. I loved the enormity and freedom the beach provided and the sense that we had entered a space where time was lost and the only rhythm was governed by the tides. As an adult, I have lived close to two great bodies of water--Lake Michigan and now the Pacific Ocean, and I've found myself drawn to beaches wherever I travel, especially when I can be alone in these vast panoramas. The complex and ever-changing landscape feels like stepping into an altered reality and I am interested in how the patterns in sand, sea and sky echo one another, as well as showing the transformative power of the elements. Capturing that point where water meets land feels like entering an infinity at the edge of the world. </span> <!--EndFragment-->wall space galleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10104060083838693709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330744853209204972.post-32291825451647711582009-11-17T07:40:00.000-08:002009-11-17T07:52:56.080-08:00Tom Chambers - World Photography Gala Award<img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 249px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcS21D7gFVKOAqzjkyVXMNYbwdd712Aihc9SKDT6d9USx1DwQkbP_bxrcyKKJGo5whmZBZM5SWMBtvUnjMCVH4zWX4lw7eg2_38rOz77Q-zXuSoaORPJUAFOMopUKtQ0ix_Zk-plJoOtI/s320/chambers7.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405099954960085442" /><br /><br /><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;">It is an honor and a privilege to represent someone as talented as Tom Chambers.</span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Consolas"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;">I have had the pleasure of seeing his work grow, mature and emerge as one of the most talented artists in the world.

Broken into segments based on his camera, he defines his world by low and high resolution. <br /><br />About the series - <br /><br />“Low-Resolution Diary” is the second of three photographic series that form a 30-year diary of documentary portraits, mostly of my family. This project has driven almost all of my photography and remains a work in process. I can't say just how it got started, but I can say my first exposure as a teenager to Cartier-Bresson was life-changing.<br /><br />The three series are defined by their media: 35mm monochrome (Tri-X Diary) through 2002; then small format digital (Low-Resolution Diary) 2003-2008; and currently medium format film (High- Resolution Diary) 2008-2009. Although I feel all the photographs emerge from the same point of view, each series is shaped differently by its format. <br /><br />The Low-Resolution series was photographed digitally with a tiny camera that allowed me to unobtrusively capture fleeting situations that might otherwise have been missed or disrupted. The pictures are printed at a fairly large scale, at which the coarse character of the camera’s output becomes integral with the image, imposing a degree flatness and abstraction. Although some of the images may appear constructed, they are entirely documentary.<br /><br />The High-Resolution seris is photographed on relatively larger and slower 6x7cm film. The resulting images are more static, formal, and perhaps more classically photographic in character than the earlier series. There are three key things I have been trying to accomplish: to capture a “live” documentary moment within a formal composition; to evoke a real environmental space; and to reveal the subject in a sense that is neither momentary nor expected.wall space galleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10104060083838693709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330744853209204972.post-16309382584561404912009-11-15T08:05:00.000-08:002009-11-17T06:52:22.201-08:00Lishui Photo - Susan Berger<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPPdPF4FYB3wO3pByoxEI-Be6vYFv2airBA68ZeWihw38h3kYnd6nPnQN641T-ztYUP8BSaRrU3byG1mTDHZid1u7LLvzlo3-mfk525tvUvNXcr_sQ04xev292yjehEPqn37cNdF_kOqc/s1600/berger5.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPPdPF4FYB3wO3pByoxEI-Be6vYFv2airBA68ZeWihw38h3kYnd6nPnQN641T-ztYUP8BSaRrU3byG1mTDHZid1u7LLvzlo3-mfk525tvUvNXcr_sQ04xev292yjehEPqn37cNdF_kOqc/s320/berger5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405085394702910738" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmgYB-CM_n0eQWQbRP9pECiXI7HQW2Q-hlgLI8Cmx5TuzZotfyK3htjbMaBUcafD-A894DD93jlysBv6-N8HmB6_9hb3hwK_gfbsYPRdg6xXPjKYTjGjFYggsuA0CrV4SMb2nEt3SWpeU/s1600/berger4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmgYB-CM_n0eQWQbRP9pECiXI7HQW2Q-hlgLI8Cmx5TuzZotfyK3htjbMaBUcafD-A894DD93jlysBv6-N8HmB6_9hb3hwK_gfbsYPRdg6xXPjKYTjGjFYggsuA0CrV4SMb2nEt3SWpeU/s320/berger4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405085389531785922" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjxS-cS7p3eI9DL-I2osCVR99tZ681Yx07KEwWniuzq8FF-ZkFZC4Pbmr_-SoOLA-GwqE4Y_UskFc213DUgstnh9jL_h1dfqxPCbdua2hhdmHbXwBajgONaWmghh8_uLc54NmxZPmgJY/s1600/berger3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjxS-cS7p3eI9DL-I2osCVR99tZ681Yx07KEwWniuzq8FF-ZkFZC4Pbmr_-SoOLA-GwqE4Y_UskFc213DUgstnh9jL_h1dfqxPCbdua2hhdmHbXwBajgONaWmghh8_uLc54NmxZPmgJY/s320/berger3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405085386339008722" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY7pykdMuPAkEfdAD-EzJ0cpAEP3Gmam7ratHqaMUVxh-HgAqPqK2g9vcna5-H-2HqEOvHExiei0F75CBzIUdH2DIqORlADB5dOW_4XvCzfrq-p0MpDFavzwZY9EGI6LcXWhHXuhY6m68/s1600/berger2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY7pykdMuPAkEfdAD-EzJ0cpAEP3Gmam7ratHqaMUVxh-HgAqPqK2g9vcna5-H-2HqEOvHExiei0F75CBzIUdH2DIqORlADB5dOW_4XvCzfrq-p0MpDFavzwZY9EGI6LcXWhHXuhY6m68/s320/berger2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405085380406235538" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0OtqWtOtKoiATk9ae5nHD-Fi2FXkzZpNMzgiB9PDgi_nYkvQwajJNcim2ojBQKFDuWcklYJZvY2ibFWDpjGf3F6O6da5SVQU-PJXSZBc5piCxHzx1wJzE0ua1i4fpBW0jmVVgLzjtvA/s1600/berger1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0OtqWtOtKoiATk9ae5nHD-Fi2FXkzZpNMzgiB9PDgi_nYkvQwajJNcim2ojBQKFDuWcklYJZvY2ibFWDpjGf3F6O6da5SVQU-PJXSZBc5piCxHzx1wJzE0ua1i4fpBW0jmVVgLzjtvA/s320/berger1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405085379134247362" /></a><br />Susan Berger is another Lishui participant. Her focus? She stopped. While the rest of us go whizzing by at 80 miles an hour, she stopped and payed tribute, and helped us focus on those who have left us. Roadside memorials are all something we see, but don't look at. I think Susan has done us a great favor by honoring those who care for those memorials, as well as the individuals they pay homage to.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">About Private Memories in Public Places </span>-<br /><br />My portfolio, “Private Memories in Public Places”, documents the roadside memorials that dot our highways and city streets.Most of us barely notice them as we drive along, but these memorials have become an integral part of the national landscape. Perhaps we don’t notice them because they have become so common that they no longer arrest our attention. And perhaps it’s because they often fit so naturally into the landscape.<br />As I look at these monuments, I am struck by the obvious care, time and work that went into their creation. They are intended to be permanent and to be visited again and again. The compelling question to me is why the survivors need to memorialize the place the person died. Some have suggested a belief that the soul still hovers at the sight. But I believe it’s because the death was so sudden, violent and unexpected. Perhaps the survivors want to remember that life stopped right here. <br />I began photographing these memorials in 2005. In 2009, I was awarded a project grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts to travel the country and photograph these little works of art. In 2009, I drove 18,000 miles from coast-to-coast and border-to-border photographing the memorials I found along the way.wall space galleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10104060083838693709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330744853209204972.post-90901141921896444732009-11-11T10:11:00.000-08:002009-11-11T20:28:22.132-08:00Lishui Photo - Rita Maas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJ_ItexhQ1H1w6RkaUKMijdNN6cIdhbf0DpLo-lVr7ZqeIk6rWfDh1RYWttLmHgsXCwD7HKcAGcALvyus1x8wxRW6R3xacOM5q-VWFli06GHYOZxDe-OUV3MTIybFN_yzakB_EJ3B9eE/s1600-h/04_PiratesVsCardinals5-2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJ_ItexhQ1H1w6RkaUKMijdNN6cIdhbf0DpLo-lVr7ZqeIk6rWfDh1RYWttLmHgsXCwD7HKcAGcALvyus1x8wxRW6R3xacOM5q-VWFli06GHYOZxDe-OUV3MTIybFN_yzakB_EJ3B9eE/s320/04_PiratesVsCardinals5-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400678625106191890" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Rita Maas and curator Paula Tognarelli, from the </span><a href="http://www.griffinmuseum.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Griffin Museum</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> in Boston head to the Lishui Photo Festival to showcase Rita's series, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Reality TV</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">. I reviewed the work in Portland, at PhotoLucida, and found it fascinating. Reality TV is a world unto its own, creating a culture of reality stars and megastars, elevating the average to iconic status. It spawns some curious creatures, like</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Balloon Boy's Dad</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">, in its more obvious surreal forms. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">But what Rita is looking at is far more subliminal and seductive. Think about the palettes she is showing, from TV shows like Top Chef, The Home shopping Network, even news like Obama's Inaguration and baseball games - Pirates vs. Cardinals. We all know how we are affected by sunshine, and what that warm light does to us, how it lifts our spirits as it washes over us. But think about that light emanating form that big screen tv you have on all the time in that background. How does that affect your mood? Rita's presentation asks a good question, and showcases a perplexing answer. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">About her series - </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span><div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Helvetica; color:#1a1a18;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Reality TV was created as a direct response to living in a culture of You Tube and Twit- ter; constantly multitasking on multiple screens and the unending stream of informa- tion, both relevant and banal.</span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Helvetica; color:#1a1a18;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Feeling overwhelmed after the recent political season I felt the need to express my search for relief. The result is “Reality TV”. Each composite photograph represents a television program photographed with the camera directed towards a wall and ceiling or corner of the room where the program is being viewed. The camera takes in the information beamed from the television and reformulates it for the viewer as reflected color. The camera sensor is recording the light over several seconds, blending it as the capture takes place. It is recording the unseeable. The assembled images of saturated color vibrate against each other and are evocative of both field paintings and pixels. They are, in a sense, a reduction of the very notion of a photograph, the recording of light.</span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Helvetica; color:#1a1a18;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">This piece is meant to highlight issues of observation and comprehension.

These images capture fleeting moments, spontaneous gestures and the ephemeral juxtaposition of people and their surroundings. They depict situations that are unexpected, mysterious, humorous, bizarre or poignant. These photos are neither posed nor staged and I do not interact with my subjects before or after photographing them. Creating these images requires both quick reactions and a great deal of shoe leather since there are no second takes for this type of photography. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 20px; "><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">M</span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">y portrait photography conveys a distinctly different sensibility. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Portraits from Latin America</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> documents people I have met during my journeys through this region.

Just announced yesterday, he is on the list for <a href="http://photolucidapdx.blogspot.com/2009/11/and-drumroll-please.html">PhotoLucida's Critical Mass top 50</a>. Today he was slated as a book finalist from CM50. An <a href="http://www.fotofest.org/id2/FFpress_IntlDiscoveriesII_10-21-2009.pdf">International Discovery at FotoFest</a> in Houston , Alejandro has been highlighted on Joerg Colberg's blog, <a href="http://www.jmcolberg.com/weblog/2007/12/alejandro_cartagena.html">Conscientious</a>, PDN online, <a href="http://lenscratch.blogspot.com/2009/10/alejandro-cartagena.html">Lenscratch</a>, a participant in <a href="http://www.visitcenter.org/programs.cfm">Review Santa Fe</a>, and the list goes on and on. He is also joining Taj Forer in Lishui China to showcase his work on Suburbia. I am excited to see how is work is viewed there. What will be the response to the social and economic similarities of expansion and population growth, how it affects their surroundings, and how fundamentally changed the environment becomes....</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Here is Taj Forer's statement about Alejandro - </span></span></div><div><!--StartFragment--><span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Alejandro Cartagena's 'Suburbia Mexicana' is both aesthetically beautiful and politically, socially and environmentally poignant. The work is timely, deeply personal yet globally relevant. Cartagena's engagement of the real challenges the viewer to contemplate the timeless theme of how we dwell as a society (or collection thereof) with the natural environment. The fast-paced development examined by Cartagena through his photographs is not unlike many blossoming urban and suburban development projects currently found throughout China. The cultural challenges facing communities affected by such government-sponsored development initiatives is uncannily similar throughout the world. By focusing on his hometown of Monterrey, Mexico, Cartagena turns his lens on the complex and nuanced global phenomenon most commonly referred to as "progress." His vivid, straightforward, large-scale color photographs afford the viewer a moment to pause, experience and reflect upon the complicated and far-reaching implications of development. From issues of resource management to changing cultural values, Cartagena's photographs delve into the newness and unknown realities of Mexico's suburban expansion.</span></span></span></span> <!--EndFragment--> </div></div></div>wall space galleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10104060083838693709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330744853209204972.post-50167313819958128572009-11-05T10:54:00.000-08:002009-11-05T11:06:15.601-08:00Lishui Photo - Mark Tompkins<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhER4atJS3Zml0JazmUBKpww6tAvpchXB1tY71DIMlx1Geuh0fm25ZQbLbdbra90wbC26_KsbhEC0QFGedBBpKJz3bhJQ38Whf6InZMVrd43YjK-jv1IOlQuhTq9_4pYfdYTbFXwA4tMXs/s1600-h/Watching.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhER4atJS3Zml0JazmUBKpww6tAvpchXB1tY71DIMlx1Geuh0fm25ZQbLbdbra90wbC26_KsbhEC0QFGedBBpKJz3bhJQ38Whf6InZMVrd43YjK-jv1IOlQuhTq9_4pYfdYTbFXwA4tMXs/s320/Watching.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400697793660910578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-77mud_5uj-SkSLt-5_Nuu5kuWU8TksWsrqSm2kL4Bl7LbSI2UPqpB6lc_Tph4hwCHJ4y8n76df16SHUiKV5CBCm67gwt2cYTRdnMDXwV9M8kizeTvLgTr-OScwIQVkj2qm9igEs3Rd0/s1600-h/Watch+This.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 205px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-77mud_5uj-SkSLt-5_Nuu5kuWU8TksWsrqSm2kL4Bl7LbSI2UPqpB6lc_Tph4hwCHJ4y8n76df16SHUiKV5CBCm67gwt2cYTRdnMDXwV9M8kizeTvLgTr-OScwIQVkj2qm9igEs3Rd0/s320/Watch+This.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400697789379429250" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsbvfkkOghmT7FMBJKgW0JFQMjUJyKTvWUIT9kyzSM7PITwpMMTnixMWBJcpSQCkpayViVWpba8EONstXow8vAkvWA2a5JsT2rSOQWxpYZYNg_iu9mPb8QSwWyQvNvA8wsPhmVjE_n1y4/s1600-h/Paris.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsbvfkkOghmT7FMBJKgW0JFQMjUJyKTvWUIT9kyzSM7PITwpMMTnixMWBJcpSQCkpayViVWpba8EONstXow8vAkvWA2a5JsT2rSOQWxpYZYNg_iu9mPb8QSwWyQvNvA8wsPhmVjE_n1y4/s320/Paris.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400697783628871490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1i43SJbQGfrrWZ7qh9jGqQOcUfVmnGrQeMyz4xo_-1diMyqqXzLYN6JDJYQgo-GbTI_Uj5d9GhNRTN85RdLu0cWLE7DbkP1qJxMYS5H_nrEcm5X-T9IqO6pC4zaBzSjiC4NuLhzTV2BY/s1600-h/Dot.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1i43SJbQGfrrWZ7qh9jGqQOcUfVmnGrQeMyz4xo_-1diMyqqXzLYN6JDJYQgo-GbTI_Uj5d9GhNRTN85RdLu0cWLE7DbkP1qJxMYS5H_nrEcm5X-T9IqO6pC4zaBzSjiC4NuLhzTV2BY/s320/Dot.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400697785773951106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfsDAg8u-pm_ikmtI3PH4QvKrd1xqrBMHwYmBx72FnhCtbsHKl8hNBzBU-xKsU27q8lNr7ERsJ5YORSdZCl3q64OVEBOHYGJ4BQqyB4brNckE4Rfw1Lsg8BHm52MpeXn3cedIkZibYrss/s1600-h/Bounds.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfsDAg8u-pm_ikmtI3PH4QvKrd1xqrBMHwYmBx72FnhCtbsHKl8hNBzBU-xKsU27q8lNr7ERsJ5YORSdZCl3q64OVEBOHYGJ4BQqyB4brNckE4Rfw1Lsg8BHm52MpeXn3cedIkZibYrss/s320/Bounds.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400697782251966130" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Mark Tompkins work, </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Dialogues</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">, will be on view in China this month as part of the Lishui Festival.

These conversations address the mystery and irony of the strong story lines that scribe through our lives, often uninvited; story lines on time and death, love and fear, work and play, god and meaning. Each composition organically expands the storyline of the image with the text, and so generates an unusually multifaceted narrative while still leaving plenty of room for the viewer to personalize it – to experience it from their own set of evoked memories, dreams and ideas.</span></span></span> <!--EndFragment--> </div>wall space galleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10104060083838693709noreply@blogger.com
