2020 is coming to a close in a few days. As we reflect on this year, it surely was a challenge. We are thankful you have been there for us along the way and that we could be there for you.
We all acted quickly to figure out how to keep connected. While we missed a few beats here and there, it didn't last. We soon brought you safe exhibitions and programming too numerous to count right now. But you all know what we have accomplished in this pandemic, as you are there.
Even in these times though, we think big. Our village produced the New England Portfolio Reviews with the PRC and developed a virtual workflow to accommodate 82 reviewees and 26 reviewers from across the photo nation. It was a three day event with a Keynote lecturer and two full days of reviews accompanied by a catalog of all work by photographer participants.
Our village produced our first ever auction along with three days of programming all on Zoom or the internet. There were 80 photographs donated to be auctioned. During this auction gala we hosted our Focus Awards and presented awards to gallerists Robert Klein and Arnika Dawkins.
Again our village brought the Fence to Winchester (with our presenting partners) in June as an installation of 15 individual photo units positioned throughout the town to showcase the Winchester Cultural District. The students of PhotoSynthesis were also showcased on the Fence. We created street lightpole banners announcing THE FENCE to those arriving into the town. Our village added QR codes to all the installs so that visitors could learn more about the photographers and their topical subjects.
As a safe outdoor recreational activity, visitors attended and got to know the exhibiting Fence photographers and the Town of Winchester. The night lit installs added to the experience of viewing THE FENCE as they became solitary monuments against the night sky.
With gratitude,
Paula Tognarelli

In the 1930s and 40s however, this ability to capture the highs and lows of human existence was distilled into one notable character: Weegee.
Weegee was the alias for Arthur Fellig (1899–1968). He was the archetypal news photographer of the twentieth century. From the mid– 1930s through the 1940s, his photographs offered gritty tales from the urban jungle to readers of the New York City tabloids.
Weegee condensed whole lives into a single picture, from the grievous to joyous, printed on the fly for the next day’s edition. He was the quintessential hard–boiled, cigar smoking, flashgun–popping character we’ve come to know from numerous pulp fiction and movie story lines. His nightly beat covered fires, automobile crashes, gangland murders, and so much more.
