“Photography is not really a window on the world,” insists W. Douglass Paschall, curator of the Second Woodmere Triennial of Contemporary Photography. His statement startles, until he explains, “People are not three inches high, not black and white. Photography lies.”
Paschall chose the photographers in the Triennial, seeking threads of continuity and contrast to present a wide spectrum of technique, subject matter, style, intent. “You can’t cover all the bases,” he concedes, “but you can try. There are the Old Masters in all the history books and a couple of photographers in mid-career, just beginning to build caché. Others are just breaking onto the scene. Those are the wild cards,” Paschall admits. “You’re taking a chance on an unknown.”

Airy theater exec not sure ‘the show must (always) go
on’

Most actors aim to eliminate the need for a day job, hoping that once their career takes off, never again will they have to even think about what they did to stay afloat early in their careers.
Not so for Mt. Airy resident James Haskins.
Haskins, the Wilma Theater’s new managing director, began his professional life as an actor and director. The Gettysburg, Pa., native attended the College of Wooster in Ohio, graduating with BAs in both theater and music. “In college I had done a good deal of acting. Then as my senior project I directed a production of Neil Simon’s The Gingerbread Lady, That was the path I was originally headed on,” Haskins said in a recent interview at a Mt. Airy coffee shop.
After graduation from college in 1985, he moved to New York as an intern at the famed Circle Repertory Company. After one year as an intern he served as the theater’s box office manager. Two years later he became the assistant company manager for the National Shakespeare Company while acting in all the national touring company’s productions.

It’s
the size of the fight in the “Light”
by TOM UTESCHER
At pre-race weigh-ins they can’t exceed 130 pounds., but in every other sense, Mount St. Joseph Academy’s most successful rowers are anything but “lightweights.”
