Historic Corliss Engine Negatives Printed for Photo Lottery!
Why hide behind this incredible photograph of the historic Corliss Steam engine invented in Providence RI? Clearly it is because I can’t compete! This photograph was contact printed from the original 20×24″ glass negatives loaned to the AS220 Darkroom from the special collection of the Providence Public Library. There will be more about this exciting collaboration soon. The 2009 Photo Lottery will have numerous photographs produced from the glass negatives from this collection. See what Providence looked like 100 years ago. Who was being photographed and what were they wearing? For your chance to win one of these three photographs of the Corliss Steam engine, and 147 other fantastic photographs buy tickets at www.as220.org/photolottery or at the AS220 Bar.

Photo Lottery 2009 May 30th at AS220
Dear Friends,
As many of you know, I recently joined forces with a righteous local
arts organization in Providence RI by the name of AS220
(www.as220.org). Every other year AS220’s photo program holds a
“Photo Lottery,” which generates funds to cover the expenses of
running a darkroom/photography program that is open to the public and
the free of charge classes and access we provide to young people
(15-21) who would not otherwise have these opportunities. It is the
only public darkroom facility in the state and I think we would all
agree that its important to keep such a place afloat with our personal
support if we are able.
I’m writing to invite you to purchase a ticket for this year’s Photo
Lottery, which is coming up at the end of this month. Purchasing a
ticket for the Photo Lottery is not only a donation that supports a
great non-profit–it is an investment in growing an artistic
community–and it’s an exciting and potentially profitable move for
yourself! This year photographs have been donated from talented local
photographers, as well as from internationally famous photographers,
such as Danny Lyon (classic print from the Bikeriders series), Jock
Sturges (color panorama over 4 ft in length), Henry Horenstein, Denny
Moers and Mona Kuhn. There are many amazing photographs that will be
given away, some of which are worth big bucks! My favorite part about
the Photo Lottery, and something that makes it unique from many other
raffle-like fundraisers, is that EVERYONE who buys a ticket wins a
photograph.
Whether or not you live in Providence, it’s easy to participate by
buying a ticket at: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/63945 If
you’re an out of town friend, as most of you are, postage anywhere in
the states is a $15 flat fee and I will personally assist the darkroom
to get your piece shipped out to you safely. Just let me know that
you signed up, so I can look out for your piece. We will make sure
that whoever draws the numbers, has nothing at stake in who wins the
pricey prizes, so don’t let that concern you one bit.
And whether or not you buy a ticket, if you can make it to Providence,
please attend the Photo Lottery celebration on the evening of May 30th
– free of charge. Here’s the website for more info:
http://www.as220.org/photolottery/ Or, to see some of the prints that
will be in the lottery: http://www.as220.org/photolottery/artists.htm
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions about it and
to forward or blog this info in any way you see fit–please tell
anyone and everyone who you think might be interested!
