His images are platinum contact prints shot with his custom-made 14x20 large format camera.

Izu has received numerous awards including the prestigious National Endowment of the Arts Award in 1984 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2002.

After Photography:
In a digital environment, what can emerge from a medium transformed? How will it change us as people? And how can we influence what comes next?

Fred Ritchin is author of the recently published book, After Photography, and has been writing on the digital challenge for media since a major article for The New York Times Magazine in 1984. He is professor of Photography and Imaging at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, and directs PixelPress. Ritchin was picture editor of The New York Times Magazine, executive editor of Camera Arts magazine, and founding director of the Photojournalism and Documentary Photography Program at the International Center of Photography.

Ritchin has also authored In Our Own Image: The Coming Revolution in Photography (1990), and his essays have appeared in other books such as In Our Time: The World As Seen by Magnum PHotographers, An Uncertain Grace: The Photographs of Sebastiao Salgado, Mexico Through Foreign Eyes, Sahel: End of the Road, and Under Fire: Great Photographers and Writers in Vietnam. He is currently finishing another book Outside the Frame, on photography and human rights. He also writes the blog afterphotography.org

The PRC will be offering our members an opportunity to have their work reviewed by a guest reviewer each month.

Amy Thompson will be reviewing portfolios on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 from Noon until 4pm.

Amy began her career freelancing out of the New York Times Washington bureau. While completing her MFA in photography at Ohio University she was awarded at Fulbright grant to travel to Morocco where she produced Behind Walls, a portrayal of life at a rural girls' dormitory. This series has been recognized by Critical Mass-Top 50 Photographers 2006, The Griffin Museum of Photography, The International Museum of Women, the Photographic Resource Center, and has been featured on photobetty.

Another body of work, from Cambodia, is highlighted on Verve Photo: The New Bree of Documentary Photographers, and selections were exhibited at Panopticon Gallery in Boston.

While in Ohio, Amy received the Paul Schutzer Memorial Award for advanced documentary work and was a featured photographer in National Geographic Magazine.

Amy currently teaches at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston.
