  The Perfect Man: A Photographic Look at Dating Rituals
Carl is her dream man. They have the perfect relationship. Carl, the "love of her life", is always there for her. In fact, he never leaves her side! He is handsome, immaculately dressed, and lavishes her with expensive gifts. Vancouver based photographer, Susan Bozic recounts all the romantic moments with her "Prince Charming" through the close scrutiny of her camera lens. The champagne toasts, the leisurely breakfast rendezvous, and the movie theater date, where sharing a bag of popcorn is part of the fun! We can all relate to her dating experiences. Even the traditional bouquet of flowers can't help but trigger a little smile as we recall a similar moment in our own quest for romance. However, the couple's idyllic photos and love-struck poses would all be rather mundane, except for one instant realization .... Carl is a mannequin!
Susan Bozic's, "The Dating Portfolio", presented by Hallmark Museum of Contemporary Photography, at it's Gallery 52 location on the corner of Avenue A and 2nd Street, Turners Falls. A collection of 15 large-scale color prints, these quirky and witty images are simultaneously thought provoking and hilarious. But more importantly, they present "the difficulty in establishing and maintaining meaningful relationships in a world where face-to-face contact has become increasingly difficult and progressively superficial." Bozic explores the stereotypes that we see in the mass media and advertising, while exposing the absurdity and ridiculous expectations our culture has placed upon "finding the perfect man". She hints at the notion that we could be inadvertently, setting ourselves up for failing relationships.
Hallmark Museum of Contemporary Photography welcomes Susan to the area, by hosting a public Artist's Reception at the gallery on Saturday, February 7, from 1-5 p.m. Exhibition, live music and hors d'oeuvres will be available. Viewing only hours will be extended till 7 pm.
Complimenting the exhibition, an Artist's Talk will occur at the Hallmark Institute of Photography's Educational Center auditorium, that same evening. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. with refreshments, seating begins at 7:15 p.m. The presentation starts at 7:30 p.m. Susan will share more of her photographs while addressing the social and psychological issues that permeate her work. The Hallmark Institute of Photography's Educational Center is located at 27 Industrial Boulevard, Turners Falls.
Regular museum hours are Thursday through Sunday, 1-5 p.m. All events are free and open to the public. Contact info@hmcp.org or 413-863-0009 or visit the website at www.hmcp.org .

  Museum Reveals the Shadows of Dreams
Light does not wield the power of shadows. Where the dead lie sleeping in forgotten landscapes, the surrealistic photographs of Josephine Sacabo take us on a journey that melds dream and reality. She has written, "We dream in images - they are the most basic level of our true psychic reality. Our dreams are the metaphorical pictures of our individual realities. Through them we can forge a deeper connection between the world and ourselves. By uniting dream and reality, we can make an art that will resonate, and in the process, learn something about our own spirit." Hallmark Museum of Contemporary Photography presents "Lux Perpetua" (Infinite Light) by Ms. Sacabo. Her HMCP exhibit combines two sets of silver gelatin prints from her "Geometry of Echoes" and "The Unreachable World of Susana San Juan" series. Additional gravure prints from her most recent work, "Primero Sueno" (First Dream), complete the ensemble of otherworldly images that are visually and psychologically calming, yet resonate with an energy that seems to lie just under the surface.
Located at 56 Avenue A at 2nd Street, Turners Falls, the Hallmark Museum of Contemporary Photography is pleased to host a public reception honoring Josephine on Saturday, January 17, from 1-5 p.m. Museum guests will enjoy instrumental music and complimentary hors d'oeuvres, as they view the exhibit and meet the artist. Viewing only hours will be extended, till 7 p.m. on this day.
Later that evening, at the Hallmark Institute of Photography's Educational Center auditorium, Josephine will present a visual program highlighting her photographic experiences and offering insight into her imagery. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. with refreshments; seating begins at 7:15 p.m. The Hallmark Institute of Photography's Educational Center is located at 27 Industrial Boulevard, Turners Falls. Museum hours are Thursday through Sunday, 1-5 p.m. All events are free and open to the public. Contact info@hmcp.org or 413-863-0009 or visit the website at www.hmcp.org .

  Photographer Colin Finlay: Rebel With A Cause
Finlay is a rebel with a cause. A conduit for channeling countless images to the media, for presenting a human face to each crisis at hand, Colin's goal is simple; ...Awareness! By chronicling the tragedy, unveiling the brutal human suffering, public consciousness is raised; he hopes to "open doors for access" and "open minds for change". Hallmark Museum of Contemporary Photography supports Colin's photographic mission by exhibiting a selection of his work, entitled, "A Matter of Conscience". In its Gallery 85 location at the corner of Avenue A and 3rd Street, in downtown Turners Falls.
From confronting death in the "killing fields" of Rwanda, to exposing the plight of a starving child in the doorway of a refugee camp in Darfur, Finlay's photographs are grounded in reality, yet offer a catalyst for change to foster empathy and lead to hope. Partnering with foundations and organizations such as Amnesty International, the Holocaust Museum, the George Eastman House, and the Discovery channel, he is committed to reaching out to people with his storytelling photographs. Exhibiting three series of documentary essays of black and white prints, "Testify", "Forsaken", and "Journeymen", Colin Finlay will be honored at a public reception at the gallery, on Saturday, January 17 from 1-5 p.m. Viewing only hours will be extended till 7 p.m. on this day. A backdrop of live music and hors d'oeuvres will add to the atmosphere, as visitors and distinguished guests mingle and celebrate with the artist. Later in the evening, at 7:30 p.m., the Hallmark Institute of Photography's Educational Center will open its doors and Colin will speak to the audience about his experiences. Get a glimpse of historical events by a photographer who has witnessed the moments, and share in some of his unforgettable stories. Seating begins at 7:15 p.m. with refreshments available at 6:45 p.m. The Hallmark Institute of Photography's Educational Center auditorium is located at 27 Industrial Boulevard, Turners Falls.
Regular museum hours are Thursday through Sunday, 1-5 p.m. All events are free and open to the public. Contact info@hmcp.org or 413-863-0009 or visit the website at www.hmcp.org .
