Review Santa Fe is this weekend. I just stumbled on in to their web site knowing this and came across this fantastically wonderful new feature: they have created a page for all of the 100+ selected photographers featuring about 5 images, their web site, and a portrait! For me, it’s almost like going as a reviewer, but by proxy.

I have already hungrily looked at all of the pages and clicked through to several web sites. You can get to it by following the above link, but I have copied all names and page links below.

We want to wish those going, both photographers and reviewers, the best of luck! For those who don’t know about Review Santa Fe, it is a juried review hosted by Center (in a Prince kind of way, the center formerly known as the Santa Fe Center for Photography), a new member of our Connections network. You can enter to be considered for Review Santa Fe as well as the coveted Project Competition. Reviews are usually in May or June, and the entry deadline is in January.

I want to give a special shout out to the Boston and New England participants (and PRC members!): Meg Birnbaum, Jared Leeds, Caleb Charland, and past New Englander Eric Percher, who is currently in our 13th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition. Boston’s very own Pelle Cass is quoted on the web site, a hearty recommendation indeed. I hoped you have as much fun looking at the images as I did.

“Review Santa Fe has given me the best possible opportunity to move my work forward that can be crammed into 48 hours.” — Pelle Cass, RSF participant

Tuesday was an important newspaper day in Boston. Gracing the front page of the Boston Globe was the Red Sox’s opening day at Fenway and the announcement that their own Mark Feeney won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, as noted in the last post.

Humbly for us, Mark Feeney’s review of the current PRC landscape exhibition, New England Survey, also ran in the very same Globe.  (And luckily for us, he liked it!)   I am thrilled at the confluence of events.  I wrote to congratulate Mark, and he modestly replied that it’s a win for the paper and different than organizing an exhibition.  To his and their credit, we had several people visit today because of his review and lots of calls.  Here’s to the power of well-crafted words and the media!
