It has been a hard year on many fronts. The photo world has carried on so bravely. Despite resilience, this week's losses in our industry of Clint Willour and Paula Riff have stunned us all. We were still tender from Nicholas Fedak II's passing in late December as well as David Pace's death in late October.
It is important to continue to speak the names of those who leave us. In doing so we keep their memories alive, for us and for those who rise behind us and into the far future.
Our hearts are broken. You made a difference in our world, dear friends. Rest in peace. You will not be forgotten.

“On Brooklyn Ground it is
as if the ginkgo’s fan-shaped leaves are wafting as the overlays of color vary across the page.
Throughout Asia the ginkgo tree has great significance as a symbol of longevity and enlightenment. According to the Smithsonian Center for Learning, four ginkgo trees survived the blast at Hiroshima and are still growing today. An unrelated fact or one of Riff’s “subtle details that balances simplicity with rich complexity”?
- from the Griffin Museum's
Down Garden Paths exhibition catalog.

Harvey will show and discuss his photographs made over 45 years. He says, "I photograph situations, people and places I don’t know and need to learn about. Photography is the most meaningful thing I could ever do."

Melchor Quick Hall will use Vaughn’s photographs as a lens to talk about race and gender in our human relationship with gardens, farming, and the greater natural world.
Nancy Frumer Styron, responding to the photographs in Vaughn’s series Inside Outside, will discuss the many layers of loss and grief that many of us live with in this challenging time of the pandemic.
Vaughn Sills will show photographs from “Inside Outside” and describe her art practice — how she makes the images, and the meanings embedded in them.

Weegee, “Their First Murder,” 1941,

He received his MFA in Photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his BFA from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, PA.
In today’s world, with a plethora of cameras, cellphones, laptops, and tablets, it’s remarkable if any activity, noteworthy or not, fails to be recorded and posted on social media.

In the 1930s and 40s however, this ability to capture the highs and lows of human existence was distilled into one notable character: Weegee.
Weegee was the alias for Arthur Fellig (1899–1968). He was the archetypal news photographer of the twentieth century. From the mid– 1930s through the 1940s, his photographs offered gritty tales from the urban jungle to readers of the New York City tabloids.
Weegee condensed whole lives into a single picture, from the grievous to joyous, printed on the fly for the next day’s edition. He was the quintessential hard–boiled, cigar smoking, flashgun–popping character we’ve come to know from numerous pulp fiction and movie story lines. His nightly beat covered fires, automobile crashes, gangland murders, and so much more.
