Deadline: 23 May
"The Tower Gallery, College at Brockport, NY is issuing a call for submissions for an upcoming exhibition Fall 2012 entitled "LOW FIDELITY". Each new day seemingly brings new advances in creative resources, leaving a wasteland of outdated and obsolete equipment and antiquated technologies, such as flip cameras, slide projectors, old sound equipment, etc. The Tower Gallery is seeking artists that purposefully employ older and outdated equipment and technologies in their work. Works can also address conceptual ideas related to "Low Fidelity", be it through cultural or socio-political statements.
Please submit a cd that must include Resume/Bio, 5 - 10 Digital Images of work, and Artist statement relevant to the theme in either pdf or jpeg files. Video and sound files will be accepted. Deadline for submissions: May 23, 2012. Send to: Tower Gallery, College at Brockport, 350 New Campus Drive, Brockport, NY 14420"

February 18-March 24
opening reception : February 18 @ 6:30 - 10pm
Two new exhibitions open at the Vine Arts Center in South Minneapolis February 18th. John Johnston and Tom Wik present Longfellow, Mpls.: A Song of Hiawatha, a collaborative, photographic survey of the greater Longfellow neighborhood, and Colleen Mullins presents cultivar, a photographic archaeology of the photographer's past, inspired by the bread crumb trail left by the generation before. All three artists are or have been longtime Longfellow neighborhood residents, which has brought them together in this venue.
John Johnston was a 1999 recipient of a McKnight Fellowship for Photographers, a recipient of the Minnesota State Arts Board Individual Artist Grant (1998), and Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant (2008). He is photography faculty at Minneapolis Community and Technical College.
Tom Wik was a 2007 recipient of a McKnight Fellowship for Photographers and is a two-time recipient of the Minneapolis State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant (2005, 2011). He also was a 2010 participant in the MNartists.org/Springboard for the Arts Community Supported Art Program.
Colleen Mullins was a 2010/11 and a 1998 recipient of the McKnight Fellowship for Photographers, a recipient of a Minnesota State Arts Board Individual Artist Grant (2003), two Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grants (2008, 2011), and a 1995 Women's Studio Workshop Production Grant. She is the Director of the Film and Photography programs at The Art Institutes International Minnesota.
All three artists have been exhibiting nationally for over 20 years.

Television Studio - Burbank, California by Robert Frank
You will need a 35mm film camera SLR (single lens reflex) camera for this course. These are older cameras and can be purchased used from many different sources, but I recommend one of the local dealers such as National Camera Exchange or West Photo. If you tell the sales rep at either shop that you are taking an introductory photo class at UofM, processing film and using the darkroom, they will know what type of camera you need. eBay and Craigslist will certainly have some options as well, however, that always involves risk. If you go that route, shop with caution.
The important thing to remember is that you will need manual control of both shutter speed and aperture. It is also very important that the camera has a working light meter. Most SLR cameras offer these controls, but not all so be sure to ask before you buy. For best results, the lens should use manual focus. There are many models that have all of these features. Here are a few just to give you an idea of what to look for:
It is always nice to have different lenses, however, for this course you need only one lens with a focal length of about 50mm (considered a "normal" field of view).
Please post a comment or let me know directly if you have any additional questions.
