Platinum/palladium and cyanotype printing are two of the earliest methods of producing photographic images. Although the chemistry is different, these two techniques share archival permanence and tonal values that have an almost three-dimensional quality. Platinum/ palladium prints range in tones from neutral to a warm brown and cyanotype prints are traditionally a blue tone (although with cyanotypes, the class will be experimenting with print toning to produce additi...

MoPA presents Beloved Daughters: Photographs by Fazal Sheikh, a provocative exhibition of over 100 photographs by the artist and activist, Fazal Sheikh. The exhibition, created by Princeton University, unites two projects focused on the women in India. The first, "Moksha," explores the lives of dispossessed widows cast out by their families, denying them legal, economic, and human rights. The second, "Ladli," examines the perils faced by girls and young women in a changing, modern India, that include domestic slavery, forced prostitution, and murder. Sheikh pairs intense camera portraits with testimony from his subjects.

The photographer was born in New York in 1965 and graduated from Princeton University in 1987, and in 2005 he was awarded a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant and the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation International Award.

The fourth in a series of educational based exhibitions presented by the Education Department at MoPA, the exhibition explores the variety of ways that photographers and photographs document people, places and events throughout history. The Photograph As Witness will present a selection of approaches to the genre of documentary photography, from the image as a representation of war, photographs that focus on the human condition, and photographers who document the public and personal spheres. The exhibition will also examine the relationship between the documentary image and the concept of the photograph as reality.

The workshops are also taught by some of the world's foremost authorities on alternative processes, including Freestyle Advisory Board Member Dr. Tim Rudman.

The workshops take place over several dates through the summer and autumn of 2007.

"Let the wind of change blow by. Leave me a little bit frayed and tattered, but keep me tethered to the truth, aware of the direction from which my own life will evolve." - Wendy The Retreats, located in the historic and elegant coastal F. Holland Day House “chalet”, are an opportunity for women with breast or other cancer or life threatening illness to mobilize their natural powers of healing through creativity. There are daily photographic assignments combined with the coaching of Dr. Matthew Budd, a 20 year professor at Harvard Medical School and author of the book You Are What You Say. At the workshops, we engage in creative activity through word, image making, movement, and even prayer (a special form of poetry). In so doing we witness our hesitancy to be artists, our fears of the unknown, our embarrassment, but we also experience being on the cutting edge of the moment... standing in the present and creating the next moment. Our poems, essays, and photographs are the artifacts of our creati...
