New Work at the Stephen Daiter Gallery
Joseph Sterling: Untitled
Looking for some photographic inspiration during these gray dismal days leading up to Spring? Look no further than the Stephen Daiter Gallery which is running two concurrent shows through April 29, 2006.
The first is Joseph Sterling: The Age of Adolescence and Other Photographs. These 40 images explore "the sometimes tentative, sometimes explosive atmosphere that surrounded the rites of passage from childhood to adulthood during the years 1959-1964.†An accomplished documentary photographer, Sterling established the photography department at Columbia College and his work has appeared in Aperture Magazine and Time Life’s “This Fabulous Century.â€
The second is selections from The David C. and Sarajean Ruttenberg Collection featuring the work of such photographic giants as Harry Callahan, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Louis Faurer, Annie Liebovitz, Irving Penn, Jerry Uelsmann, Weegee, William Wegman and Garry Winogrand.
The Stephen Daiter Gallery is located at 311 W. Superior, Suites 404 & 408, Chicago, and open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 to 6.

MoCP Studio Photography Workshop
Ever wanted to play around in the studio? Now's your chance. The Museum of Contemporary Photography invites you to learn the fundamentals of studio photography including lighting portraits and tabletop set ups, and the operation of large-format view cameras in Columbia College’s state-of-the-art studio facilities. Bring a friend or favorite object to photograph or create a still life from objects in the studio. Shoot using your own analogue (translation: film) camera or produce 4×5 Polaroids from the studio’s large format cameras.
To sign up for this event, or to become a museum member today (and thereby get access to other free workshops MoCP offers throughout the year), call Ron Humbertson at (312)344-7794 or become a member online. It's cheap, too. Only $20 for students and $40 for a basic membership.
