APRIL NEO This NEO exhibit is part of the 2011 Boston Cyberarts Festival: April 11 - May 8 Brooke A. Knight: Excerpts and Video/Still 
Upper Yosemite Falls, 2009
One challenge we encounter with NEO's format (an online web portfolio/gallery) is when we want to present photographic work that expands into the third dimension of time. This venue is admirably suited for conventional photographic images that can be measured vertically and horizontally (height before width, always) in pixels. But as more and more artists utilize cameras that are as adept with moving images as they are with still ones, the notion of photography as a two-dimensional language is evolving into three dimensions.
This month, as we present Brooke A. Knight's work in conjunction with the Boston Cyberarts Festival, we consider how photography is changing as it adds the new dimension of time. Knight's work in his Excerpts series addresses the accumulation of attention represented in landscape images.

UNCATALOGUED: Extraordinary Boston by Steve Dunwell
By PRC Library Volunteer, Stefanie Maclin
 Extraordinary Boston is Boston at its finest. Photographer Steve Dunwell does well to capture the eccentricity and uniqueness that is this city. In the book's introduction Dunwell writes: "This is a special place in America. Here, at the confluence of powerful natural, historical, commercial, and cultural currents, a unique metropolis has risen, sculpted by these forces and expressing their interplay." Dunwell's photographs showcase all these bits and pieces of Boston.
Boston is a city of contrast. It's a city of neighborhoods. While it is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, sometimes you forget you're in a city. There's something about Boston. It gets to you; it gets in you. I've lived here for a decade, and I still can't cross the Charles via the Red Line without needing to see it.
Dunwell showcases Boston in all its glory: in all four seasons, in all times of day. He highlights what this city is about, mixes the modernity with the Colonial architecture. He shows Boston for how it is.
