Get Ready for the New England Portfolio Reviews! Co-sponsored with the Griffin Museum of Photography
May 6-7, 2011, Northeastern University, Boston, MA
Online registration begins April 11, 2011 at 9 am SHARP
 The New England Portfolio Reviews is an opportunity for emerging and established photographers to meet with curators, teachers, gallerists, and other image professionals. The Reviews will serve both individuals who are just embarking on their careers and those who have several years of experience and are hoping to reach new audiences by initiating connections with leading figures in the busy New England photography world.
Reviewer schedules will be posted to website Friday.
For more information and a list of the reviewers >>
If you are interested in volunteering and experiencing the portfolio reviews from a "behind the scenes" point of view, please contact Julie Kukharenko. |

Ed Kashi, Madagascar, 2010
The contemporary photojournalist is a storyteller with a bevy of tools at his disposal. Increasingly, media outlets rely on much more than still images to convey stories. Ed Kashi, who will be presenting an intensive seminar for the PRC, has been at the forefront of this new wave of digitally enabled correspondents. In this lecture he will discuss his innovative approach to photography and filmmaking, which has resulted in numerous awards and publications over a twenty-year career. In his own words: "I take on issues that stir my passions about the state of humanity and our world, and I deeply believe in the power of still images to change people's minds."
New Lecture Admission Policy To purchase admission to lectures at member price, please present a valid PRC membership card.
If you have question regarding your membership status or need a replacement card, please contact Julie Kukharenko at [email protected] or call 617-975-0600.

FEEDBACK: Envisioning the PRC 
Blue sky. As in, "blue sky" thinking. As in, the sky's the limit.
At a PRC board retreat this winter, one section of the day-long discussion centered around future planning--how do the board members, the leaders of this organization, envision its future? Provoking the session were a variety of open-ended questions about photography and the role of an organization that calls itself, as we do, a "resource center" for photography.
I believe that the board has a critical voice in the PRC's direction. I also believe that as a membership organization we have a responsibility to listen to our constituency. We cannot function as an organization if we don't consider, and do our best to meet, the interests of those who join us as members. You pay your money, you have a right to expect something in return. And we have an obligation to listen. While we can't serve everyone all the time, we can mediate between points of highly concentrated interest and identify common ground among our members' diverse passions.
