<span style="color: #999999;">Robert O'Meally is the Zora Neale Hurston Professor of English and Comparative Literature, and founder and former director of the Center for Jazz Studies at Columbia University. Along with Diedra Harris-Kelley and C. Daniel Dawson, he has curated this exhibition and a series of shows for Jazz at Lincoln Center (NYC). He has written extensively on jazz, Ralph Ellison, Billie Holiday and Romare Bearden. O'Meally will lead the program with an overview of the exhibition and conversation with Randy Weston. </span></div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 30px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Pianist/composer Randy Weston has had a long engagement with the music and musicians of Africa. Though Weston cites Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Art Tatum, and of course, Duke Ellington as his other piano heroes, it was Monk who had the greatest impact. "He was the most original I ever heard," Weston remembers. "He played like they must have played in Egypt 5000 years ago." Several of Weston's album covers are featured in the exhibition's "Black to Africa" section. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #999999;">He remains always on the case with<br />titles such as Afrika Uhuru, Khepera, Ancient Future</span>.</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Transition from Analog to Digital Photography, The Digital Darkroom</span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1996, I was a little resistant to the change from analog/film cameras to the digital/media card /cameras when the change was on my doorstep. Freelance photojournalists for my local Gannett paper were told “no digital cameras, no work”. That woke us all up to the new reality. Freelancing for the Post, I sadly sold my darkroom and enthusiastically bought a digital camera. Digital photography is here to stay. We’d better move with the new technology or go by the way of the dinosaur. Space, scientific and media industries are always in the lead. By the time the consumer sees it, most of the kinks are worked out. As I studied the new media closely I realized digital photography is a digitized science reinvented from analog photography. The IT photo scientists had to have a starting point of departure. They are working with bits, zeros and ones, the first thing I ever learned about computer science. We are now in a pixilated environment and 24 bit color translates to 8 bits of RGB (red, blue and green). There was still a D Log E chart measuring density and exposure and a characteristic curve that measured shadows, midtones, and highlights. That is now called a histogram. The ISO (ASA) could still be manipulated changing the sensitivity of film cards. Like film cameras, digital cameras are incorporating manual, aperture/shutter priority modes, and they are becoming smaller or larger, with a budget small or large for any amateur, semi-pro or professional photographer. The cameras are producing less noise and the software incorporating filters to add the noise back in. The beauty of digital photography is the monitor on the back of the camera that instantaneously gives us an image, thus letting us view our images and correct our mistakes if necessary. For us television addicts, the tv is now incorporated into our cameras. We are in an instant society. Isn’t it a perfect world?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Photoshop and like software produce a toolbox that we use to digitally manipulate our images. There are a host of selection tools, drawing tools, masking tools, burn and dodge tools. Sound familiar? Need to cut and paste? You can do so in the edit mode. Sometimes I have to add open eyes where someone had the nerve to blink. I always laugh at the sight of floating eyes, then on deadline use the move tool to place the open eyes over those closed eyes. There’s even a redeye tool, color selection picker and a magic wand tool which are my favorites. Everything we manipulated in the darkroom is now done electronically with the click of the mouse. We are still working with RGB for the computer, camera, scanners and their complements, CMYK for printers and inks. With layers, I can finally composite that image I visualized as a junior in my high school darkroom. Go James Vanderzee and Jerry Uelsmann. So, steady your hand or use a tripod or monopod and join the wonderful world of digital photography!</div>

So far we have seen the following:<br />
<br />
<u><strong>Sony</strong></u><br />
Sony recently announced four new “Alpha” mount cameras which sport a host of innovations:<br />
<br />
The first of the new Sony cameras, the SLT A55 and SLT A33, are the first cameras to incorporate the company's translucent mirror design. The Single Lens Translucent (SLT) technology offers live view with full-time fast phase-detection AF whether in stills or video mode. A fixed, semi-transparent mirror redirects a small amount of light onto the AF sensor while allowing the rest through onto the main imaging sensor which allows phase detection AF under all operating conditions. The A55 uses a 16.2MP sensor while the A33 has a 14.2MP sensor. Both cameras have a 3.0" articulated LCD, full HD video recording and ISO sensitivity up to 12,800. The A55 also features built-in GPS. <br />
<br />
In terms of the more “conventional” HDSLR, Sony has announced the 16 mp A580 and the 14 mp A560 cameras (with 1.5 x crop factors). Both cameras can record 1080p full HD movies and deliver 7 fps in continuous shooting mode. They feature Sony's two-mode live view system, a 15-point phase-detection AF or a Manual Focus Check mode, a 3.0" fold-out LCDs, an enhanced Auto HDR mode, 3D Sweep Panorama mode, and sensitivity of up to ISO 25,600. <br />
<br />
Along with the four cameras, Sony announced three Alpha-mount prime lenses: the Zeiss 24 mm F2 and the value-oriented 85 mm F2.8 lens for use on full frame and cropped sensor camera bodies , and the , 35 mm F1.8 for use on cropped sensor models. The 35 and 85 mm lenses are part of Sony’s Easy Choice range of lenses. <br />

<br />
<strong><u>Nikon</u></strong><br />
Nikon has announced the D3100, an entry-level digital SLR. The D3100 is the first Nikon HDSLR capable of capturing video at 1080p and offering multiple frame rate options. This camera is the first from any DSLR maker to offer continuous autofocus operation during video recording. The camera is built around a 14.2MP (1.5 crop factor) CMOS sensor, has an 11-point AF system, offers a 3 fps burst rate, and ISO range of 100-3200 (expandable to 6400 and 12,800.) <br />
<br />
In addition to the D3100, Nikon also introduced four new Nikkor lenses, three of which are geared for use on its FX Format cameras: The AF-S 85 mm f/1.4G; the AF-S 24-120 mm f/4G ED VR; the AF-S 28-300 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR; and the AF-S DX 55-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR for cropped sensor bodies.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong><u>Canon</u></strong><br />
<br />
Canon announced the EOS 60D. The successor to the EOS 50D fits in between the EOS T2i and EOS 7D in Canon's lineup and incorporates many of its still and video features found in other Canon models. It has an 18 million image pixel (1.6 crop factor) CMOS sensor, shoots stills at up to 5.3 fps, sports 63-zone metering first seen in the 7D, carries over the 50D’s 9-point AF systems, can control and trigger remote Speedlite flashes, and offer multiple video resolution and frame rate choices. It's also the first Canon HDSLR featuring a tilt-and-twist rear LCD.<br />
<br />
Canon also introduced four new EF L-series lenses: The 8-15 mm f/4L Fisheye; the EF 70-300 mm f/4-5.6L IS; the EF 300 mm f/2.8L IS II; and EF 400 mm f/2.8L IS II. <br />
<br />
Canon has also introduced two new teleconverters; Extender EF 1.4x III and Extender EF 2x III.<br />
<br />
Of the lenses, the Fisheye is most compelling as it marks the first time that Canon has released a zoom lens that is maximized for performance on all three sensor sized it offers in its HDSLRs/DSLRs.<br />

<br />

<br />
Both lenses offer fast silent autofocus for HD movie recording in a compact and lightweight package. For more information on Olympus cameras, visit <a href="http://www.olympusamerica.com/oai_consumer.asp">Olympus USA</a>.<br />
