From Jerry Thomas
The MONCA is a small gem of a museum in Chico that features artists of Northern California. The building itself is the Veterans Memorial Hall and was built in 1927. It has only been open for five years but they already have plans to expand the existing space. Besides a permanent collection they sponsor calls for art such as the one listed here. They recently had a show titled Grayscale Universe where black and white and shades of gray and/or silver were the only colors.
One of my black and white photos titled,”Pintails at Colusa” will be on display there at the next show called “For The Love Of Birds” which runs from January 26 - March 19 as part of Chico’s 2023 Snow Goose Festival, which celebrates the glorious migration of snow geese on the Pacific Flyway.

Group Show at the Nevada City Winery Gallery
Camera Club members Donna Levreault, Charlotte Peterson, Dee Anne Dinelli, and Eric Engles are showing their favorite “intentional camera movement” images at the Nevada City Winery Gallery from Thursday, February 23 through Sunday, April 2. You are invited to the opening reception on Friday, February 24 from 5:30 to 7:30. The approximately 24 images in the show are products of an ongoing collaborative project among the four photographers, who meet regularly to challenge, support, and inspire each other. The project began in 2019 when one member proposed that the group experiment with moving the camera (or zooming the lens) intentionally during relatively long exposures. When the pandemic upended normal life in early 2020, and wildfires and smoke and PSPSs added to the sense of instability, the project took on new meaning as an expression of the feeling that we are "Not on Solid Ground.”

Next Meeting - Monday, January 23 2023
"FACES: Beyond Traditional Portraiture"
Presenter:
Karin Rosenthal
"Something mysterious and unpredictable happens when people’s faces are reflected on the water’s surface. One day I photographed a friend in her 60s and her reflection looked like that of an elderly woman. Then her reflection became a young person. The next day, in a different setting, the elderly woman returned. Our faces morph into many selves.
"Stories are set in motion by the people photographed. They are of them but go beyond them. Even though they are photos of people’s heads, they are not traditional portraits. These new images speak to the progression of time, to youth and aging, to looking and conversing within, and to making peace with our mortality.
"I would love to share my new work with you and hear your reactions. The series is still in an exploratory phase and feedback would be welcome."
BIO
Karin Rosenthal’s abstract photographs of nudes in nature have been exhibited internationally, collected widely, and reside in 17 museum collections, including Boston’s MFA, the Brooklyn Museum and the Yale University Art Gallery (YUAG). They have won numerous international awards and have been shown and sold at the prestigious AIPAD exposition in NYC. Her photograph in First Doubt: Optical Confusion in Modern Photography at YUAG was selected to represent the show of 100 images by famous 20th Century photographers and was featured in the New York Times review. At the Griffin Museum of Photography in 2016, she curated 37 Photographers/ One Model with nudes in nature by her and her workshop students of a male dancer in his fifties, overturning conventions of nude photography. As a Resident Artist/Scholar at Brandeis University’s Women’s Studies Research Center, she initiated and oversaw an exhibition of photographs by Vivian Maier in 2013. In 2018-2019, she exhibited at Brandeis’ Kniznick Gallery in a two-person show, Half-Silvered. A book entitled Karin Rosenthal: Twenty Years of Photographs was published in conjunction with a retrospective of her Nudes in Water Series at the Danforth Museum in 2000.
