Sunday, April 19, 2009, 3 PM Senior Sunday – Randy Hope Goodman: From Beneath a Chador: A Photojournalist Covers Iran’s Islamic Revolution A talk and exhibition

Randy Hope Goodman began her photojournalism career in Iran (1980), during the months following the US Embassy takeover and the holding of fifty American hostages. Covering a grassroots delegation of Americans invited to meet with the Iranian students holding the US hostages, she photographed the delegates’ interviews with top ranking political and religious, their conversations with the students inside the US Embassy, their attendance at the Friday Prayer service held at the University of Tehran, and their visit to Evin Prison for interviews with former members of the Shah’s secret police, amongst others.

Randy Hope Goodman discusses her photographs taken in the early years of the Islamic Revolution (1980 – 1983), during the hostage taking and the Iran-Iraq war. Digital Silver Imaging worked with Randy to scan and print the images that will be on display.

RSVP by April. 12th to the Griffin Museum. RSVP by April 10.

For all Senior Sundays admission is FREE for seniors and their friends.

Sponsored by Salter Healthcare, New Horizons and a grant from the Winchester Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

With over 25 years Eric Luden, founder and owner of Digital Silver Imaging in Belmont, MA will present their true B&W; printing solution. Eric has been in the New England photographic community for 25 plus years and has worked as a fine art photographer and printer, ran a commercial studio, and went on to work for Kodak, Ilford and HARMAN technology. Digital Silver Imaging provides archival gelatin silver prints from digital files.

Eric will provide a brief overview of the digital printing world and the various technologies that have existed. He will primarily focus on the b&w; solutions for photographers. This will include the work he has done with Ilford and the development of various ink technologies and most recently, the b&w; digital papers that Ilford recently developed. He will have some information on archival properties and comparison samples of B&W;, Color and Inkjet.

As the official B&W; printer for the Boston Globe image archive we want
to let you know about photos from the 1947 opening day! Ted Williams!

Digital Silver Imaging is pleased to be sponsoring editorial photographer Larry Fink this Sunday, April 5 2009, in Natick, MA. Mr. Fink is part of the Commercial Industrial Photographers of New England (CIPNE) annual conference. Please see the link above for all the details and we hope you can attend.

Tonight at 7 pm the New England School of Photography rededicates its gallery space to our dear friend Lisa Garner. Her husband Ron Cowie says this about Lisa and the exhibit –

The images collected focus on her connection to friends and family. This is not a comprehensive show by any means. The volume of her images is overwhelming. Editing was difficult in order to stay within budget. Lisa never liked too much to be spent on her. The beauty of her images almost defeat the sting of her passing. Thank you all for the love, support and, interest this year. I am humbled and grateful.
Love survives. Ron

Eric and I knew Lisa as a student at NESOP, a customer at Campus Camera & Electronics, and as a friend & fellow photographer. She will always be missed.
