A No t e f r o m t h e D i r e c t o r
As many of you noticed, the Photographic Resource Center’s May/June in the loupe was extraordinarily and unacceptably late. I can assure you that we are equally disappointed and frustrated
by the matter, and apologize for its occurrence.
At nearly three decades, in the loupe is the PRC’s longest-running service. Having started in
Chris Enos’s loft and adopted numerous forms over the years, it has remained an efficient outlet
for members to keep informed of time-based photography happenings in New England. Whether
it is a PRC workshop, or an exhibition in Maine, we pride ourselves in announcing accurate,
up-to-date information. We recognize that a timely newsletter is crucial to our mission. Accordingly, please know that we have addressed the issues that caused the delay and look forward to
maintaining in the loupe’s tradition of excellence.
On another resource-related note, we are proud to announce that the New England (and beyond)
exhibition, education, and opportunity listings that you enjoy in the back of the newsletter are
now available online under the Resources heading of the PRC website. This addition is the first
of numerous exciting website enhancements that will be made over the coming year. We thank all
of you whose suggestions and efforts have contributed to this and the upcoming developments
and are eager to continue the expansion of prcboston.org.
Thank you again for your interest in, use of, and support of, the PRC. If you have not already
done so, we encourage you to come out to see the 2003 PRC Members’ Exhibition—a sample
of the outstanding work being created by our members.
Best regards,
Terrence Morash

The practice of night photography dates back
to the early 1900s when technical advancements,
such as safety film, smaller cameras, and faster
lenses, allowed for successful nocturnal images.
Alfred Stieglitz and his followers at the Camera
Club of New York made notable images of the
city at night, while Edward Steichen was the
first to successfully photograph by the light
of the moon, recording an eery series of images
of Rodin’s sculpture of Balzac. In 1938, Brassai
published Paris By Night, his classic vision of
Paris’ seedy night life of the 1930s. O. Winston
Link’s iconic night photographs of America’s last
steam railroad, taken in the mid-1950s, are the
definitive record of the end of an era.

North End and Chinatown with Wild Bill,
to watch, photograph, experience, and learn.
Lance regularly teaches night photography workshops in San Francisco, Yosemite, Cape Cod,
Morocco, Italy, and Ireland. He will co-lead
a PRC-sponsored photo tour this August with
Ron Rosenstock. He has fine tuned this workshop into a popular and comprehensive program
which will provide participants with all the technical knowledge and hands on experience needed
to develop nocturnal images. Please visit www.night

night photography and Lance Keimig.
Wild Bill Melton is a world class photographer/
director based in Boston. He has won numerous
awards for his photography and has been published
in major magazines and publications worldwide.
He and his crew have traveled the world extensively photographing advertising campaigns and
annual reports for some of the top names in business. Wild Bill has garnered an international reputation for his ability to photograph exotic animals,
particularly lions and tigers for national ad campaigns. Wild Bill has received critical acclaim
as a still photographer for years and is now getting
noticed for his documentary filmmaking.
Recently, he developed, shot, and hosted a pilot
travel/adventure/cooking show slated for national
broadcast soon. Please visit www.wildbillstudios

2003 PRC Members’ Exhibition
June 20 – July 27, 2003
Each year, the Photographic Resource Center at Boston
University is pleased to host a juried exhibition for its
members. This year, 15 photographers were selected out
of over 125 submissions by juror Chris Enos, founder
of the PRC. The objective for this prestigious exhibition
perhaps rings even more true than when it was first
announced in the PRC newsletter in 1996:
“[the Members’ show] signals the Center’s deepening
commitment to area artists and its support of the range
of photography produced in the New England region.”

PRC MEMBERS’ SHOW HISTORY
The 2003 PRC Members’ Exhibition represents
the eighth incarnation of this event. As PRC
membership extends over New England and
beyond, this is a great opportunity to view
a slice of the best and brightest as well as see
topics in which contemporary minds are engaged.
The PRC Members’ Exhibition is a testament
to the depth of talent in the PRC membership.
In total, over 185 photographers have shown
in the PRC Members’ Exhibitions—representing
both established photographers and those cited
as “ones to watch”. Guest jurors represent
esteemed curators, photographers and photography professionals. Past jurors of the PRC
Members’ Exhibition have included: Diana
Gaston, Independent Curator; Deborah Kao,
Curator of Photography, Fogg Art Museum,
Harvard University; Richard Woodward,
Editor at Large, Doubletake Magazine;
Edward Earle, Curator of Digital Media,
International Center of Photography.
ABOUT THE 2003 JUROR
Holding an MFA in photography from the San
Francisco Art Institute, Chris Enos has been
making and exhibiting art for over 30 years.
She has taught at Harvard University, Smith
College, RISD, and the University of New
Hampshire. Garnering numerous awards, Enos’s
work is found in prestigious museums such
as the George Eastman House, Harvard’s Fogg
Art Museum, J. Paul Getty Museum, Museum
of Fine Arts, Boston, and San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art.
In response to the burgeoning photographic
community, Enos founded the PRC in 1976
in her Boston loft. Initially a newsletter and
a legendary sponsor of famous speakers, the PRC
later added a 4,000-volume library and acclaimed
gallery space to its offerings. In February 2003,
the PRC moved to a street level, storefront
location at 832 Commonwealth Avenue, its
fourth “on-campus” home since the independent
non-profit became affiliated with BU in 1978.

Melonie Bennett (Gorham, ME) has been
photographically observing her family and
friends during everyday rituals and social events.
Through this visual diary of her fascinating
circle, Bennett reveals the extraordinary in the
ordinary. John Chervinsky (Somerville, MA)
cites music and surrealism as inspirations for his
series of playful still lifes. Using various tubers as
his cast of characters, he presents familiar objects
that appear to do unfamiliar things: jumping,
spooning, hovering, or oozing. However fanciful
they appear at first, these floating botanics also
allude to and comment upon “high art” photographic nudes and landscapes. Phyllis Crowley
(New Haven, CT) examines the body, magnified
in her series “Earthly and Heavenly Bodies”.
By juxtaposing close-ups with scientific imagery
drawn from scientific textbooks, she questions
the intersections between art and science, knowledge and the unknown. Tony DeBone (Oakland,
CA) uses the 20 x 24 Polaroid camera to record
those who adorn themselves and are often
considered out of the mainstream. Over the past
10 years, he has been featuring individuals from
Drag and Fetish scenes in New York and San
Francisco. These unique images are transferred
to watercolor paper and then hand colored
and altered. Erik Gould (Providence, RI)
draws inspiration from the built environment
in his ongoing work for the fictional Rhode
Island Photographic Survey. Using such conceits
as “Twenty Major Intersections in Rhode
Island,” Gould composes grids of photographs
that reflect his interests in sites of local unimportance, signage and personal expression, and
locales of flux and flow.
Bob Gulley (Houston, TX) has been documenting the urban blight of the Fifth Ward
section of Houston, TX. Through this project,
he hopes to highlight the human will to survive
and lift the veil on social conditions. M. Alyssa
Jones’s (Salem, MA) frank portraits are from
an ongoing series titled: “Reflecting an Honest
Image: Portraits of Lesbians and Bisexual Women.”
In order to provide an alternative to stereotypes
perpetuated by advertising, Jones allows each
sitter to choose her own clothing, location, and
props. Frazier King (Houston, TX) transforms
orchids into creatures that allude to a human

presence. Using orchids that he raises himself,
he captures their likenesses using a 4 x 5 camera, then enhances the surreal qualities of the
biomorphic blossoms through solarization
and subsequent toning of the black and white
prints. Stefanie Klavens (Boston, MA) seeks
to capture portraits of places through her largescale color photographs. By isolating the effects
of a person or place, she explores the intersection of private and public. Evie Lovett (Putney,
VT) presents intimate glimpses of behind-thescenes preparation for monthly drag shows
at the Rainbow Cattle Company in rural
Vermont. Quietly contemplative, her sensitive
compositions touch upon themes of transformation and beauty.
Neeta Madahar (Framingham, MA) investigates ideas surrounding the idea of dwelling—
belonging and migration, routine and repetition—in her new series recalling dioramas,
Sustenance. An outgrowth of her study of
domestic interiors, Madahar has been photographing various species that visit the feeder
outside her apartment balcony using a large
format camera. Rebecca Sittler (Jamaica Plain,
MA) plays with art historical references and
surrealist tendencies in her constructed still-lifes.
Using a simple title or a challenge presented
by the objects themselves as her starting point,
Sittler creates strange and unusual juxtapositions on an ordinary stage. Guillermo SrodekHart (Cambridge, MA/Argentina) photographs
animals from their point of view in an effort
to examine the human world. Thus, the animals
in “Animalia” occupy the foreground, while
the human presence is reduced to a shadowy
blur in the background. Sonia Targontsidis
(Jamaica Plain, MA) uses her mother and father
as models in a continuing effort to confront
her fears regarding their mortality. Her exquisitely composed and lit compositions recall
Flemish or Renaissance portraits. Wayne Welke
(Cambridge, MA) explores the male figure
at middle age. His self-portraits are made
entirely in camera with open flash in a single
exposure. A trained architect, Welke enjoys the
sense of spontaneity and fractured space afforded
him in photography.

An Interview with
Bernard Toale
Bernard Toale is the founder and owner of the Bernard Toale Gallery, a contemporary art gallery on Harrison Avenue in Boston’s South End. Featuring such
artists as Deborah Bright, David Hilliard, and Abelardo Morell, he has rapidly
gained acclaim as one of the area’s premier contemporary photography gallerists.
In addition to running the gallery, Toale is involved with numerous community
organizations and events including Artcetera, a biennial art auction to benefit
the AIDS Action Committee, and the Coolidge Corner Theatre, a non-profit
independent movie house in Brookline.
Why contemporary art? Why photography?
It’s what I’ve done my whole life. My background
is in sculpture and, before [the gallery], I had
a printmaking/paper making business. I’ve always
worked with artists. It’s all I’ve ever known.
Do you still have the opportunity to work
with artists in the creative sense?
I haven’t. It’s something I would like to do—get
back to publishing. Maybe I will now that [the
gallery’s renovation] is complete. I moved down
here five years ago to build this. Now, it feels like
I can begin to be more creative with other things.
How is Boston’s contemporary art market?
It’s okay, but I also have clients outside the city.
I have inventory goes to a lot of other places,
and I’m working with a number of artists who
I represent in other cities. For example, David
Hilliard. I’m his primary dealer and we have five
galleries that we work with around the country.
What led to the start of your gallery?
The gallery was originally at 11 Newbury Street.
I was transitioning out of our publishing company, and I was really kind of tired of looking
at ink and paper pulp. We always had a gallery
in conjunction with that because we published lots
of projects, and I just needed a change. I started
out with an installation, a sort of retrospective
of Sandy Skoglund’s work. Partly because
I wanted to say, “I am not the paper-making guy
anymore.” I had known Sandy and always liked
the work and, ten years ago, people were still
very excited about it.
Why did you move to the South End?
If I renewed my lease on Newbury Street, my rent
would have tripled. And, I had faith that my rep-
utation was strong enough that those people who
were interested in what I showed would come
here. It didn’t seem like a leap of faith at the
time. It’s taken longer than I expected for this
building to evolve, for the street to evolve, but
it is. Once this building is completely renovated,
it’s really going to be wonderful. The landscaping will be good. The facades that they are
putting on are nice. I just hope some other
businesses come down here. We don’t need the
GAP, but we would like a bar—just a place you
can go for lunch. I would like to see a few more
interesting businesses down here.
What do you look for in an artist and how
do you find them?
I’m in an interesting period right now where
I’m kind of waiting for people to talk to me
a little bit more than me going out and pursuing
stuff. However, I’m always looking for work that
surprises me. Abe [Morell]’s work is so different. I used to say that I didn’t know anything
about the gray scale, meaning I never knew the
photography tract where artists did projects. Abe’s
work is so special because each work is a little
poem. He takes on each subject differently.
It does fall into some categories, but those
categories are so open. Jocelyn [Lee] as well.
When I first thought about an artist who did
portraits of people, I thought it wasn’t me.
However, her work is capturing something
so essential and so ephemeral about each one
of those people at a certain moment-it creates
a queasy feeling. Whatever that queasy-making
stuff is, is what I look for in the work. Things
that I can’t predict. David [Hilliard]’s work
continues to surprise me, yet there is a formula
there. You’ve got these multiple panels and
a narrative of some sort. However, every time,
Bernard Toale. Photograph by Terrence Morash
it’s a new batch of work. The color changes,
but is always beautiful and rich. The narrative
is always there, always a bit goofy. I’m always
surprised that he can keep pulling these
stories out. While Abe’s are poems, David’s
are short stories.
Another thing that allows me the freedom
to see work regularly is the Boston Drawing
Project. We have three appointments almost
every morning with people bringing in drawings, photographs, collages. The drawing project is wonderful because it keeps me looking
at unknown work. Anybody can call up and
make an appointment. There is no pedigree.
There are about 160 artists in the project right
now and it’s growing daily.
How did you get involved with Artcetera?
It started as a grassroots event around 1982
when [AIDS] was such a mystery to everybody
and lots of people we knew in town were
dying. It was one of the only ways in town that
artists could actually do something. It was
a great civic thing because Boston City Hall
was hosting it at the time, it was the gay
epidemic. Lots of people were very pleased
to support the city’s support, and it was successful from the very beginning. Over the years,
Artcetera has raised about 3.5 million dollars
for the AIDS Action Committee, which is fabulous. The event is a lot of work, but it’s a great
way for the community to continue to show
their support. The epidemic isn’t ending.
Is yours the only gallery that has a theme song?
[laughs] That’s going to go, by the way. I’m very
willing to let people I work with do whatever
they think is interesting to them. My first web
designer said, “You’ve gotta have a theme song!”
That’s how I got a theme song.
Thank you.
Thank you.
