Alternative Process
Students in this class on alternative processes explored the breadth and the potential of the photographic image. Students learned to create camera-less images, make pinhole cameras and pinhole images, and print pinhole and/or digital negatives using cyanotype and Van Dyke Brown emulsions.
Cyanotype and Van Dyke Brown are antique processes that use the sun, or other ultraviolet light source, for exposure. Digital or pinhole negatives are created that are the same size as the intended print. The emulsion is painted on the paper, allowed to dry, then put in the print frame with the negative for exposure. After exposure to the sun, the time for which changes constantly due to the quality of daylight, the print is washed in water.
All of these processes require a sense of play, a willingness to not succeed over and over, an ability to learn from mistakes, and an ability to make connections from one form of visual imagery to another.

Stella Johnson's Book!
Stella Johnson, photojournalist, instructor, and repeat Fulbright award recipient for photographic projects, exhibited her work in the Galletly Gallery in 2006. Check out her first book, AL SOL .
Tim Whelan Reviews Stella Johnson’s Book
Al Sol
"Stella Johnson's photographs are poems weighted with grace, dignity, and compassion."
-Constantine Manos
Photography, the international language, can enrich our lives and open new worlds. This is the case with Stella Johnson's first book, Al Sol: Photographs from Mexico, Nicaragua and Cameroon. Johnson has immersed herself in village life as both a passionate photographer and compassionate observer. Living with the people whom she photographs, she is able to cross the line to capture intimate moments. Working with a handheld Leica, she is free to discover extraordinary moments in ordinary situations. Moments that allow us inside… children playing without toys…women preparing food and attending to life’s daily chores…men fishing.
Johnson demonstrates her skill at filling the frame and layering complex images: her use of light and shadow brings a classic luminosity to her images. Each image stands on its own. Patience and a little bit of magic bring a sense of joy and wonder to daily village life. Her palette of human emotions is universal, reminding us of the importance of love, dignity and respect.
The accompanying text expands the story: a preface by Constantine Manos, Johnson’s writing, and a conversation about the work with Gela Garcia and Gustavo Illades. The design by Michael Alpert, fellow Workshops instructor, is eloquent.
Al Sol is a book that will engage the human spirit and grace any book collection.

Preston Gannaway (formerly of the Concord Monitor) has won a Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography! I recommend you look at the pictures and watch the mixed media feature, even if it takes more than one sitting.
This is a powerful, moving story. Watching it has changed me. I am grateful to both the photographer and to the family for sharing these moments of shared lives and death.
