  • MFA Photo Quick Hit 2017-2018.Docx
    Master of Fine Arts in Photography & Integrated Media “Quick­Hit” MFA Program Overview 2017 ­ 2018 Lesley University College of Art and Design MFA Orientation in Christopher’s Studio, Dublin, NH 2017 Throughout its evolution, photography has been a slowly moving glacier of adaptation and obsolescence followed closely by familial transformations influenced by the heat of science, technology, critical analysis, and cultural practice. I think of these influences and processes as I do the boulders in the woods near my studio in New Hampshire… evidential scat from a glacier’s melting. Each overlapping layer of transformation has ushered in an ever­greater democratization of photographic image making, adoption, and adaptation and each of these cycles have been identified by the family name, photography, regardless of how odd the new offspring appeared. What each new incarnation had in common was a single salient identification… that of making marks with light. Our program, and the amazing candidates who become masters within it, share a driven curiosity to see where a photographic concept or light­dependent process, and perhaps its integration with other media, will guide them. In our current roles, as practitioners of the discipline we love, we are enjoying the right time­right place gift of unlimited possibilities, making this the most exciting time in the photographic arts 1 MFA Photography and Integrated Media Quick Hit Overview – January 2018 in over a century. It represents, for me, the new photography, a marriage of contemporary analog, digital, and inter­disciplinary studio practice and technologies. Christopher J ames Director, M FA i n P hotography and Integrated Media From its inception in 2011 , our MFA in Photography and Integrated Media program has been nurtured as a collaborative work in progress, emphasizing craft and concept driven photographic and visually related studio practice.

  • Trinity: Reflections on the Bomb
    Trinity: Reflections on the Bomb On July 16, 1945 at 5:29 a.m., the first atomic bomb, nicknamed the “Gadget,” was detonated in an area known as Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico. The assembly of the bomb and planning of the test took place primarily in Los Alamos, New Mexico, as part of the top-secret “Manhattan Project.” Employees in Los Alamos included scientists from all over the country as well as workers from local New Mexico communities. It is estimated that over 600,000 people worked on the Manhattan Project in sites throughout the United States. The testing of the first bomb was code-named “Trinity” by Manhattan Project director, J. Robert Oppenheimer. The Gadget was detonated in a 100-foot high tower and left a crater 10 feet deep and over 1,000 feet wide. The explosion melted the sand of the surrounding desert, creating a light green, radioactive, glass-like substance referred to as Trinitite. The event was described in the Clovis Journal from the same day as an explosion of “a remotely located ammunition magazine containing a considerable amount of high explosive and pyrotechnics.” The paper warned the community that the army may evacuate civilians from their homes, though no evacuation took place. US Census data shows that there were at least 40,000 people living within a 50-mile radius of the Trinity test site. Many of those in the surrounding area are members of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium- an organization that compiles data on the high rate of cancers and other health complications that proliferate in the communities downwind from the Trinity test site.
