55 years old police club that belonged to my father, Mordechai Bercovitz, of blessed memory, who served in Jerusalem Police Force for about 40 years. When I was about 5 years old I used to sleep with this club under my pillow, when my parents went out at night. I feel that it is a very old friend.

Miss BH Palmer holding forth on the rock engravings at Devil's Rock, Maroota.

 

Born Johannesburg, South Africa, died Springwood, NSW aged 96. Sister of Ethleen Mary Palmer (1906-1958), noted Australian print maker.

 

In 1927 at the ages of 18 and 16, the two sisters arrived in Sydney from Johannesburg via France and the UK, with their mother, Ada, and established themselves at 'Ifala', Edgecliff Rd, Balgowlah, where Ethleen built her first studio. They later moved to Springwood, where Ethleen died at the age of 52.

 

Beatrice knew AP Elkin at Sydney University, AR Radcliffe-Brown, VG Childe and others in the circle of Australian Aboriginal anthropology in the 1930s and 40s. She qualified as a teacher and lectured in anthropology. Some thought AP Elkin prickly and conceited, Miss Palmer among them.

 

In 1976 her car was struck by a train at the Faulconbridge level crossing near her home, but she recovered without significant injury. During the 1980s she took groups of students, myself among them, to important rock art sites in the Hawkesbury and Lower Blue Mountains.

 

In her later years, despite advanced scoliosis, she continued her community service as a volunteer for Meals on Wheels in Springwood, where many of her clients were younger than she. It was rumoured she held an early pilot's licence in the 1920s but this is unconfirmed. A bright and cheerful woman, she delighted in imparting knowledge in her educated English accent.

Thanksgiving Lapbook by Zippy (age 8)

Lois (Richerme) (Weigel) Schnabel, in her own words. Photos taken of a book someone had given her, which she filled out partly as answers to the specific questions and partly as a daily diary in 2001-2.

Books have always been important to me, and I still own many of my childhood books. Heidi was perhaps the first book I remember. It was read to me, and I identified strongly with it, since it was about a little girl who lived on the side of a mountain. We had a farm on the side of a mountain, and Heidi's meadows blended with mine in my imagination. Her haymow became mine, and my pine trees became hers. Tom Sawyer was also important for several reasons. It was a great story, it planted in me a lifelong interest in caves, and the illustrations were memorable. The book with the bat on the cover is titled The White Lady, and it was the first adult book I ever read. It was about bats, specifically an albino bat, and it helped deepen both my love of books and my love of nature. Finally, I've included one of the dozens of books that I've written. I was in my twenties before it ever occurred to me that I could write books as well as read them.

Cover: A detail from a portrait of Gustave Flaubert by E. Guiraud

Officially my longest self-portrait shoot ever... in fact, I won't even say how long it took, that's how long it took. Granted, some of that was wardrobe-related (nice suit, eh?). By the time this one was over, I was so tired, frustrated and mad that I wanted a drink... and I quit drinking a couple years ago. This shot reminded me of how far I have to go in the lighting world yet. Depressing and enlightening at the same time.

 

Lighting Info

- SB600 at 24mm at 1/16 power, camera-right in a 28-inch Westcott Apollo softbox. Roughly 2 to 3 feet from subject.

 

- SB600 at 70mm at 1/64 power, camera-left in an undiffused 15-inch Lastolite Ezybox softbox. Using it undiffused basically turns it into a reflector that helps make the light a little more efficient by controlling arbitrary spill (that's partly why I was able to run it at a measly 1/64th power). This light was roughly 5 feet away from the subject, aimed down the wall (left-to-right) in the background. I also used two pieces of black foam-core sheets to control spill and shape the light to prevent it from illuminating the ground in back.

 

- LP120 at 28mm at 1/32 power, basically on-axis, in a 43-inch Westcott [reflective] umbrella. This light was also covered with a piece of shoji paper (Japanese paper used for making lamps) to reduce the output even more. This light was roughly 8 feet from the subject.

Biography:

Sara Jane Gould is originally from Massachusetts and is a documentary photographer living in San Francisco. Through the visual language of photography, Sara Jane looks at the apparent visual, and sometimes non-visible boundaries existing in societies and in cultures. Sara Jane loves humanity and is at all times working to communicate stories about people, their lives and their environment.

 

Sara Jane studied Political Science and received her undergraduate degree from Boston College. Living in New York, Sara Jane attended and later taught at the International Center for Photography and, as a graduate student, studied at The School of Visual Arts in the M.F.A. Department of Photography and Related Media.

 

Sara Jane’s work was chosen for American Photography; has appeared in “Our World’ published by the PhotoAlliance and has been exhibited nationally and internationally.

 

CCSF Photography and You:

I originally came to CCSF to learn the latest release of Photoshop and thought I’d spend no more than a semester there. The year might have been 2006. I quickly discovered there was no way to get into Photoshop without having priority registration: status reserved for existing students. I needed to become an ‘existing student by taking a class or two in order to get into Photoshop, a popular class. Frustrated, I settled on an editorial class and Marshall Berman’s lighting class. As a documentary photographer I avoid using artificial light and assumed, while the lighting class might be interesting, it would not have much practical application in my work. I found out very soon, I could not have been more wrong.

 

Eventually, I got into Steve Raskin’s Photoshop class and that, being tremendously successful, inspired me to follow up with Erika Gentry’s advanced class as well. Learning photoshop from such extraordinary educators, always working at the highest level, was a thrilling experience.

 

For this submission I specifically chose the image, ‘Wall’ because the essence of this photograph, what I was thinking about at the time it was made, specifically came things Marshall had taught me. For me, in looking at this image, I am always reminded of Marshall his ideas and Inspiration was certainly in my head at the moment ‘Wall’ was made. Marshall doesn’t really teach lighting; instead he teaches students to see and how to use lighting as a tool to achieve what is already exists, or what is only visible in one’s mind.

Soon at the age of 27 Jason made his "Suit of Raze." The suit was a combination of kevlar and a thin layer of chainmail links. Jason had always admired the fun to build weapons, Razient. INC was his next step. From coming to gotham with $20 to growing up with foster parents and then landing his butt in buisiness-land it was worth it. He now lives in a gorgeous mansion with his wife Mary and his son Jonathan. They know not of his secrets but Jason always finds time to study villians ands have a good fast paced battle.

Biography:

 

Alexander Sutulov was born in Concepcion, Chile in 1962. He attended the Institute of Contemporary Art in Santiago from 1980 to 1984 and continued his study of art at the College of Fine Arts, University of Utah from 1985 to 1987 under the tutelage and guidance of Angelo Caravaglia with emphasis in painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture.

 

From 1988 to 1990 he worked and collaborated at artist co-op Art Space and Stonehenge where he researched hand built techniques with stoneware, porcelain, wood and metal. His experience with high fire kilns allowed him to apply graphic techniques so much as in reduction and oxidation burning process. This stage also allowed him to explore various “free form” constructions primarily in stoneware applying additive and subtractive techniques to his clay constructions.

 

Later on he was invited to work as an independent artist at the University of New Mexico Printmaking Department from 1990 to 1992, where he was able to experiment with various printing techniques such as: intaglio, woodcut, linocut, relief work at general including viscosity printing, lithography, silkscreen, and monotype.

 

He continued his graphic work with the assistance of Tamarind’s Master Printer Rodney Hamon where he specialized in the use of positive and negative photo transfer lithographic plates for hand printed limited editions at Black & Blue Press, Golden, New Mexico. In parallel with graphic artist Michael Gienger, Atelier Sutulov-Gienger was created from 1992 to 1994 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. From 1994 to 1996 he divides his work between United States and Chile where he introduces digital art techniques into his graphic work, producing his first digital murals at Folio-D in San Diego, California. The combination of his previous work with continuous tone printmaking together with digital substrate, created a rich field in the use of second generation images to be implemented in an ample array of visual art projects.

 

Since 1990 he showed several graphics work in selected Group and Solo Exhibitions in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Dominican Republic, England, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Slovenia, Taiwan and United States.

 

Since his return to Chile in 1994, the artist has been part of a variety of corporate and institutional art projects such as: Gasco Energy Sculpture (2000) commissioned by Gasco Gas Company in Santiago, and the History of Chilean Mining Mural (2005), 3 story high digital mural commissioned by Chilean Bureau of Mines and the University of Concepción.

 

The artist studio is currently devoted to a wide range of visual art projects regarding both institutional and corporate entities in the realm of public art encompassing sculpture, digital murals and design projects which integrate interior design with artistic organic solutions for various architectural project applications. The studio’s current project is a 100 ft long mural for Santiago College titled: “Spirits of the Mind / Santiago One & Only”.

 

As an extension and complement to his public and cultural projects, the artist studio specializes in the production of digital paintings for private and residential spaces. The above has also allowed the artist to develop various concepts of smaller format works in the form of fine art limited editions and editorial projects which seek the consensus of a wider audience. Currently he is conducting an iconographic research for an editorial project concerning Mary Mother of God, her image and transcendence in Christian Art.

Peregrine Heathcote Biography

British, b. 1973

 

Born in London in 1973, Peregrine Heathcote graduated from the Florence Academy of Art in 1995 and currently lives and works in the UK.

 

Peregrine Heathcote’s paintings conjure a world of intoxicating glamour and intrigue, slipping across the boundaries of time to fuse iconic pre-war design with modern conceptions of beauty and silverscreen-era romance.

 

The images could depict a dream world—the pure artistic vision of a painter fascinated with the bygone glamour of his parents’ youth and his own childhood spent in Britain and Dubai, but also by the contemporary incarnation of glamour in an international jet-set culture.

 

The images could be literal representations of actors on movie sets, or real-life models letting their contemporary sensibilities peek through as they pose against period backdrops.

 

Each canvas suggests a story, prompting us to imagine the circumstances around a single crucial scene. Heathcote purposefully leaves such questions open, allowing us room to construct multiple narratives. This weaving in and out of various realities, blending the real and unreal is achieved with great skill, imagination, and ingenuity.

 

The BBC have recently filmed a documentary on Peregrine’s portrait painting which has been aired worldwide.

 

His paintings, including commissioned portraits of prominent executives, aristocrats, and socialites, have been exhibited at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the Royal Academy, and are collected and exhibited all over the world.
