Then and Now: The Enduring Allure of Light in Photography September 10 – October 6 Featuring The Work Of Locals Judith Montferrante and Michael Sief

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The Copley Society of Art is proud to host a national juried photography exhibition titled Then and Now: The Enduring Allure of Light in Photography, featuring images selected by famed photographer Joel Meyerowitz. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, September 15, from 5:30pm-7:30pm at the Copley Society on 158 Newbury Street, Boston.*
Then and Now: The Enduring Allure of Light in Photography features an array of photographic techniques including silver print, ultra chrome pigment print, and platinum print. The use of light as a key element unites the works, which portray a variety of subjects and styles. The artists represented in the exhibition not only demonstrate a talented selection of the Copley Society’s members, but also extend far beyond the organization’s immediate artist community.
Distinguished photographer Joel Meyerowitz selected a diverse group of photographs, including both color and black and white images. Meyerowitz is renowned for his natural landscapes, cityscapes, and perhaps most notably for the moving images taken at Ground Zero. Having celebrated color photography since the 1960s, the photographer has been featured around the world, from the Art Institute of Chicago to the Centre Pompidou in France. In addition, his photographs have garnered international recognition through numerous prestigious awards.
The Copley Society of Art (Co|So), America’s oldest non-profit organization, is committed to the advancement, enjoyment, and promotion of its member artists and the visual arts. The organization, founded in 1879, comprises juried artists who are selected by a credentialed art committee. Co|So provides artists with a gallery for exhibiting and selling their work and a platform for engaging and educating the community.
The show will be on display from September 10th through October 6th. The Copley Society of Art is located at 158 Newbury Street in Boston. The gallery is open Tuesday-Saturday 11-6, Sunday 12-5, and Monday by appointment.
* All members will be admitted free of charge, and non-members will be asked to pay a fee of ten dollars to support the gallery’s outreach program.

Please visit our website, www.copleysociety.org , to view images from the full exhibition.

Screening of REBIRTH at Cape Ann Cinema 9/11/11

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Good Morning Joey,
You are my connection to Cape Ann when I am on and off the “Island”!
I was at the Cape Ann Community Cinema last night and discovered a showing of Rebirth is scheduled 9/11/11.
The film was screened at Sundance 2011, the director follows 5 people effected by 9/11
over 9 +years, a story of love, loss, reconciliation, and promise.. It also is technically accurate in that the filmmaker has filmed the entire site post 9/11 to present in time-lasped fashion.

My husband and I had contributed to the credits in memory of someone close we lost at
Windows of the World in Tower 1.

It would be great if you could post this screening for the Cape Ann Community Cinema..
I meet Robert Newton , the artistic director of CACA and it seems he could use some help

Great Show Tonight

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Dear Joey,

You might want to remind your viewers of the Noise 30th Anniversary Party Finale TONIGHT at The Annie — and what a finale it will be featuring Allen Estes, Chelsea Berry, Sal Baglio, Julie Dougherty and T Max.

Whose T Max, you ask?  Well, he’s the publisher/editor of The Noise (New England’s longest running music magazine) and a singer/songwriter.

Plus he just moved to Gloucester, thereby proving my assertion that Gloucester is the hub of independent music north of Boston.

T Max has only been here a couple of months and he’s already producing excellent shows.  Look for more of them in the coming months.

Hope to see you tonight.

Results of the 2011 Leo Almeida Memorial North Shore Striped Bass Tournament

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joal Leanos - 1st place boat

Amy Almeida writes in-

Here are the results of the tournament.

Surf:

#1 Aaron Quinlan, Amesbury – 35 lbs, 44" (weighed in at Surfland)

#2 John Noonan, Amesbury – 16.88 lbs , 39" (weighed in at Surfland)

#3 John Lynch, Peabody – 13.12 lbs, 33" (weighed in at Bridge St. Sports)

Boat:

#1 Joal Leanos, Gloucester – 36.6 lbs, 48" (weighed in at Winchester Fishing)

#2 Al Williams, Gloucester – 32.45 lbs, 45" (weighed in at Winchester Fishing)

#3 Paul Whitten, Salem – 30.5 lbs, 46" (weighed in at Bridge St. Sports)

Youth Ryan Mitchell, Ipswich – 19.38 lbs, 36" (weighed in at Surfland)

I’ve attached a picture of Joal Leanos with his fish. This is Joal’s second win in the boat division. He won the boat division in 2010 and was the winner of the junior division in 2008. 

Al Williams has previously won (2005) and come in third (2010) in the boat division. This is Ryan’s second win in the youth division. This is also his last year in the youth division. At the prize ceremony I told him that Joal Leanos’ performance as a former youth division winner has set the bar high for Ryan next year. About 150 people entered the tournament and almost twenty fish were weighed in. For the first time, one of the prize winners has generously chosen to return his winnings to the beneficiary food pantries. John Noonan, the second place winner in the surf division, is a five time tournament participant and first time winner. We anticipate increasing our donation to our beneficiaries over our 2010 donation (almost $6,000). However, we’re still awaiting some donations before we can make a final accounting.

Surprised Again

Posted on by Marty Luster

Gloucester, I have found, is one of those places that is full of surprises.  I can visit the same place day after day and, despite its familiarity, be surprised again and again by the subtle differences in light, the sounds of the sea or the harbor and the people working or playing there and the effects of sun and clouds on the mood of the day.

The other day I went down to the State Fish Pier as I do 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes with a clear intent to find a subject to photograph and sometimes just to observe, listen or meditate.  This time I think I felt more like the dog in Denise Levertov’s marvelous poem, Overland to the Islands, where “every step [is]an arrival.” Although I had viewed the harbor from this vantage point many times before, I was nevertheless surprised by the clarity of the light, the precision of the ripples and the drama of the low- lying clouds.

I was happy that I always carry my camera.
