AS220 PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY

AS220's Photographic Memory program offers photographic training and professional apprenticeships to under served youth in the state of Rhode Island. As a long time supporter of the Photographic Memory program and the Paul Krot Community Darkrom where the program is based, Sprint would like to help spread the word about AS220's 25th anniversary fund drive. Through December 31st 2009, contributors to the AS220 darkroom program will receive a copy of the 2010 Photographic Memory calendar pictured below.

The thirteen photos selected for the calendar were chosen from hundreds taken by Photo Mem's youth photographers. By photographing their own experience, these students give voice to their own lives as only they can. The images are rare glimpses into lives rarely seen, but now easily accessible through a small donation to the program. Visit as220.org for more details on how to make a donation. Calendars can also be purchased directly through AS220's online shop.

Pick one up today!

NEW BOOK AVAILABLE FROM TILLMAN CRANE

Tillman Crane, a large format (5x7 to 12x20) black and white Maine photographer known for his hand-coated platinum prints is running a “library special” on his first book, Tillman Crane/STRUCTURE. Published in 2001, STRUCTURE, is a monograph of 71 tritone black and white images, including photographs of Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania. Representing over twenty years of photographing turn-of-the-century civic architecture, 19th century industrial spaces and overlooked corners in the landscape, time seems suspended in these images. Yet the impression of those long past living and working in these spaces is strongly present. Printed in Italy with five pullout images, the hardcover book has a French-fold jacket and contains 128 pages.

With the publication of his third book (ODIN STONE) in December 2008 Tillman is making room in his studio by offering copies of Tillman Crane/STRUCTURE for FREE to all New England libraries wishing to add a copy to their library collection. Cost to each library is only $10.00 to cover shipping and handling. Less than 200 copies are available so order today if you wish to receive a copy of this beautiful book for your library.

For more information on this book or to learn about the workshops that Tillman teaches across the U.S. and U.K. visit his website at: www.tillmancrane.com/bks/books.html.

Send library contact and mailing information with a check, cash or money order to: Tillman Crane Photography, 22 Pearl Street Camden, ME 04843.
