Van Deren Coke
1921 - 2004
It is with great regret that we record the passing of Van Deren Coke. Born on July 01, 1921 in Lexington, Kentucky, Van Deren Coke went on to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Kentucky University (1956) and a Master of Fine Arts from Indiana University (1958). He also attended post-graduate studies at Harvard and studied Photography with Ansel Adams.
Best known as an art historian, he held positions as Director of Photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Director of the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, amongst others. One of several positions in education lead him to Auckland, where he taught at The Elam School of Fine Arts as a Fulbright Scholar in 1989.
The New Zealand Centre for Photography is especially grateful to him as he was an active supporter of the Centre through his long correspondence with Bill Main.
He recently gifted to the NZCP a set of cibachromes which date from his visit in 1989 when he delivered the Brian Brake Memorial Lecture. Readers of the New Zealand Journal of Photography will remember his article "The Lure of Collecting" in issue 23, May 1996.

Kenneth Josephson Lecture
The Photography Department of the College of Design, Fine Arts and Music offered a free visiting photographer lecture. We were pleased to have the distinguished US photographer Kenneth Josephson speaking on his work. Kenneth Josephson, Copyright 2002 by Roland Idaczyk
Tuesday, 26 March at 7.30 pm in the Theatrette in former Dominion Museum Building, Massey University Wellington Campus.
Kenneth Josephson was born in 1932. He is renowned for "making photographs about photography". The act of picture-making itself is central to his work and he is established as an important Conceptual photographer within the broader history of photography. His teaching career too, has been influentual through his long involvement with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Widely exhibited and published, Josephson´s work has been the subject of a recent major retrospective show (and book) at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Presented by Photoforum, Massey University and NZCP.

Change in NZJP Editorship
Bill Main, former Director of the NZCP, has decided to step aside as the Editor of the NZ Journal of Photography after 9 years in this role. Issue 44, August 2001 has been Bill's last edition. David Langman, Director of the Centre, will act as Managing Editor. The journal will be redesigned; thereafter guest editors will be called upon to edit individual issues.
In his last editorial Bill wrote:
When I look back on the way the NZ Journal of Photography emerged from a skimpy infrequent newsletter into a quarterly publication of some substance, I can feel nothing but pride and satisfaction. To continue in this fashion and stand in the way of design changes and a revamped direction is one which I could not live with. Over the last 9 years about 50 New Zealand photographers were featured with folios - many for the first time. I would like to thank all my contributors who have remained so loyal to me and the NZCP. I hope the will continue to supply material for publication and support the ideals and objectives we collectively established.

PM opens NZIPP Show at NZCP
Copyright 2001 by Roland Idaczyk It was a pleasure to see the Prime Minister Helen Clark officiate at the EPSON NZIPP Iris Awards on the 20th of June. Staged in the old Ayes Lobby at the Temporary Parliamentary Debating Chamber with access off Bowen House foyer, the PM was welcomed by David Langman (left), director of the Centre. Terry Hahn (centre) then announced the awards. After a short speech, in which the Prime Minister praised the way photography could reach out to ordinary people, she was presented with a sunset photograph of Kapiti Island.

George Silk Honoured
Those who find themselves in Australia later this year should keep an eye open for an exhibition called Going to Extremes, which features the work of expatriate New Zealand photogapher George Silk.
Mounted by the National Gallery of Australia, it began its tour in Canberra on the 12th of August. Silk is renowned for his innovative sports, action and outdoor photography. To create images he often went to physical extremes as well as pushing camera technology to new purposes. For instance, he attached cameras to skis, lashed himself to the top mast of racing yachts and took cameras underwater to get images, in which the viewer seems swept into the action. Silk joined the staff of LIFE in 1943 and remained with the magazine until its closure as a weekly in 1972.
NZJP #41 - November 2000
Photo Lightscape
Five New Zealand photographers have been invited with one Australian and three Vietnamese to join Swiss photographer Charles Weber and contribute to a group exhibition titled Photo Lightscpaes, which was held at the Forum Meyrin Art Centre in Geneva, Switzerland from 21 September to 21 October 2000.
Each photographer has produced a set up to ten prints exploring various applications of artificial lighting in a natural environment. This work evolved out of a workshop Landscape & Flash held by Charles Weber at the Wellington fotofest 1998, which subsequently travelled to Australia and Vietnam.
The participants are: Michael Waite (Australia), Truong Ngoc Lam, Doan Van Dan and Nguyen Ba Han (Vietnam), Katrina Raven, Alan Knowles, Grant Maiden, Ian Kember and Roland Idaczyk (New Zealand), with Charles Weber (Switzerland).
The event is supported by Pro Helvetia and Forum Meyrin.

Members' Show 2001
We are proposing to put out an inaugural Members' Show 1985-2000 in early 2001 using premises above the New Zealand Portrait Gallery. However, in order to do this volunteers are needed to help preparing the exhibition space. Members living in the Wellington area and willing to assist with the disassembly of seating, floor carpeting and wall painting, please contact us at the Centre.
The exhibition has been planned to recognise the support from members of the NZCP over the last 15 years. This is also an opportunity for new members to exhibit, so send us your subs!
Please contact David Langman for more detail about the exhibition. If we are successful in our new premises, we hope to offer annual historical, contemporary and touring international exhibitions small and large.
While this may seem optimistic, we feel that it is possible with support to offer a venue and programme, of which we can be proud.

Stamps of Approval
NZ Post stamps It has been a source of great irritation to those in our editorial officemto note, how New Zealand lags behind other countries in bringing before the public the work of our distiguished photographers on postage stamps.
In 1991 Australia Post issued four postage stamps bearing the work of Olive Cotton, Harold Cazneaux, Max Dupain and Wolfgang Sievers. Shortly before this the British Post Office featured four portraits by Bill Brandt. Recently they used a Don McCullin image in their Millennium 1999 series, which depicts a dramatic shot of a graveyard commemorating World Wars.
Therefore, in order to alert our Philatelic Authorities to this serious omission, we propose a set here, some of which were featured in the Journal's special series last year to celebrate the millennium.
We reproduce a set of four with appropriate graphics added to give some idea of the concept. Thanks to Peter Peryer (Dead Cow), George Chance (Storm - Lake Wanaka), Ans Westra (Tangi - Inia Te Wiata, Otaki) and Anne Noble (Dolphin).

Director's Repositioning & Replacement
At his own request, NZCP Director Bill Main asked the Trustees at their July meeting to allow him to step aside from the duties of running the day to day operations of the Centre, a position he has held for the last ten years. This move, which will come into effect on the 1st of October, was greeted with great dismay by the Board. However, Bill is keen to retain his links with the Centre and will continue as Editor of the NZ Journal of Photography and Curator of the Centre's collection. His replacement will be David Langman, a person who is considerably experienced in the art gallery world and is well known for his interest and connections with photographers in the capital and Australia.

Collodion
Brian Scadden In what must surely cause a microscopic glitch in the lemming-like shift from silver nitrate to electronic imaging, Brian Scadden´s travelling darkroom will no doubt cause some to shake their heads in wonderment and ponder how old customs continue to die hard!
Set up for the production of Collodion images (positives on glass) on the spot, the accompanying photograph with this article was taken in Oamaru last summer, when Brian was at a meeting of "black powder" gun enthusiasts.
Those members of the Photographic Collectors Association of New Zealand, who posed for him and his "wet plate" gear during fotofest 98, will no doubt congratulate his enterprise in this very practical achievement. Some may even be tempted into comparing the signage on the side to a similar vehicle, which James Bragge hauled over the Rimutakas in the 1880s.

NZCP Downturn of Income
The Trustees of the NZCP, at their meeting in July, signalled their concern at the downturn of income during the past financial year. Reasons for this were attributed to a failure to attract substantial sponsorship deals. This plus an increase in the cost of producing the New Zealand Journal of Photography had seen the trustees draw on slender reserves to balance the books. While they expect this flow of funds will be arrested by proceeds from the biennial auction of prints and other schemes, which are being negotiated, they were concerned that these circumstances might take time to redress the cash flow. As a result of this a special sub-committee was formed to explore ways and means of ovecoming this situation, one of which will be to examine the possibility of becoming a client of Creative New Zealand.
Membership remains constant with over 250 members throughout New Zealand, making the NZCP one of the largest and most representative photo organisations in the country.
NZJP #40 - August 2000
Membership Statistics
Paid up membership of the centre numbers 275 subscriptions. 144 of these are institutions like Art Galleries, Colleges, Universities and Camera Clubs. The rest consists of individual members, some of whom live overseas. 36 copies of the Journal go to destinations like Australia, USA & Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland and Japan. We'd like to add to this total. As a current subscriber, please ask us for extra copies of the Journal to entice your friends and associates.
NZJP #40 - August 2000
Annual Accounts
Not for the first time in its history, the Centre is facing a financial crisis with income appreciably down on last year's figures. While monies from the biennial postal auction will no doubt redress this deficit, it is a major concern for the Centre's trustees that we have had to call upon reserves to meet our obligations.
Membership remains constant and leads our main source of income with book sales and commercial sponsors our other sources of revenue.
Our major budgetary item is the cost associated with the production of our quarterly publication, the New Zealand Journal of Photography. This takes nearly half our annual income with the director's salary and other outgoings making up the remainder. When it comes to reviewing our budget for the coming financial year, there is little room to come and go upon. Nevertheless, the trustees would appreciate any suggestions you might like to make regarding the way the Centre currently serves your needs and requirements.

Italian War Photos Repatriated by NZCP
In a rare public reations exercise the NZCP was recently in the spotlight, when it acted as agent to see 134 snapshots of the Italian 1940 Albanian/Greek campain taken by
Lieutenant Ivo Cantoni returned to Italy.
After faxes and telephone calls to Italian authorities confirmed the importance of the find, it was agreed to return the images through the offices of the Italian Ambassador Roberto Palmieri. This was duly achieved in the presence of the Centre's trustees on 3 March 2000.
When handing them over, Bill Main urged the Ambassador to see if the family of Ivo Cantoni could be traced through veteran associations, thus completing the cycle of repatriation.

Postal Photo Auction
The New Zealand Centre for Photography will be holding another postal auction in July this year. These have proved a valuable source of income for the Centre, whose objective to promote New Zealand photography remains resolute despite surviving on the smell of an oily old rag.
Previously photographers known to the Centre have been approached to provide a print to be included in the sale foregoing any commission. This year letters have gone out to some of the leading movers and shakers of New Zealand photography inviting them to contribute to the postal auction. Full details of these entries will be published in the next issue of the Journal.

New Premises
By the time you read this, the Centre will be well down the track to fulfilling an undertaking to share space in the temporary Parliamentary Debating Chamber. We will open showing some of the prints from our collection and entrants from the AGFA portrait competition, which has been run in conjunction with the New Zealand Portrait Gallery. For those who are unfamiliar with Wellington, the entrance to this space is off Lambton Quay through the foyer of Bowen House. We look forward to meeting many of our readers during the Festival of the Arts.

fotofest 2002 ?
Having decided a course of action to settle some of the outstanding accounts connected with the 1998 event, the management committee announced the photographic community's response to their plight had been positive with sufficient money coming in to cover approximately 60% of the debt. Referring to the possibility of another festival, a decision will be reached once the result of a questionaire, which is being circulated to participating groups and organisations, is known.

Aucklander appointed to NZCP Board of Trustees
Following the resignation of Rick Christie from the Board of Trustees, editor of the Photographer's Mail and well known photographer Brian Curtis has accepted an invitation to join the governing body of the New Zealand Centre for Photography.
Announcing this recently, the Chairman of the Board Matheson Beaumont of Dunedin said, "It was with great regret that the Centre accepted the resignation of Rick Christie, who had served the NZCP since its inception in 1985." An excellent replacement for Mr Christie had been found in Brian Curtis, who would provide us with valuable contacts in Auckland. His entry to the board was signalled by a number of initiatives and suggestions to reduce the fotofest debt.
NZJP #35 - May 1999
fotofest '98
A long awaited definitive report and analysis on the merits and reservations concerning fotofest '98 is called for after a statement which was published in the April issue of The Photographers' Mail. For those of our readers who missed this we reprint it in the box below.
In short, what might have been a profit of $10,000 has now been turned around to a $10,000 deficit. This came about by the failure of the fotofest '98 management committee to tie down a sponsor who had been approached to underwrite $20,000 of activities and events.
Now that the management committee has been disbanded, the responsibility of the debt lies solely with the trustees of the New Zealand Centre for Photography who supported the scheme in name and principle with personnel from the outset.
Their energies are now being directed to honouring all debts. With no cash reserves to draw upon, the amount owing will take some time to be settled. Not only will this sully the reputation of all concerned, but it may seriously hamper any attempt on the Centre's part to call another festival in the future.
Which brings us to the key point. Should there be another?
The points in favour of staging another event of this magnitude lie with those who came and enjoyed fotofest '98. Their enthusiasm and endorsement must be harnessed to ensure the success of any future festival. Therefore attention must be given in drawing up lists of people from various organisations whom we can approach when the time comes to make a move to get the next one underway.
With this in mind, the Centre will act as a pro tem mail box for your letters and will initiate a questionaire that will be circulated to all interested parties. This information will be held in reserve for any body that constitutes itself to run the next festival.
So much for the future. But the present hangs terribly over our heads.
In this respect, we have already been the recipient of much sympathy and concern. What we really require of course in the short term is money. Money which will be used to pay off debts which the management committee incurred. Any money we gather will be used to pay off professional services. Duties which could not be performed by those around the meeting table. Individuals from all sectors of the photographic community who contributed countless unpaid hours. As well, we require some money to seed the next event. While the NZCP may be able to cover the cost of the questionaire from its meagre resources, there is no way it will approach the next festival without some money in the bank.
Of course, we know what an uphill struggle this will be. Hence it is with some optimism that we set out on this task aimed at getting what has been called by some as the most disparate groups that exist in our society. Perhaps this unfavourable title could be wrong. I have exceptionally clear recollections of seeing many gatherings at fotofest '98 where the spirit and mood was one of unity towards a common ideal. Almost evangelistic you might say!
If that quality of working together can be encouraged in the next festival, then perhaps it would have all been worth while.
Only time will tell.
At the last trustee meeting of the New Zealand Centre for Photography, the following action was approved regarding the debt which the Centre has inherited as a result of fotofest '98.
Despite the great support which this event attracted in August 1998 and the good will it generated, there was a loss of $10,000 incurred.
News of this financial shortfall has already caused some members of the photographic community to donate money to help rectify this situation. Conscious of the Centre's moral obligation to pay all of fotofest '98 debts, the trustees will release for sale a number of presentation photographs that were specially commissioned as gifts to those who gave lectures and workshops.
Those who make a donation in excess of $100 made payable to the fotofest '98 NZ Centre for Photography account, will receive one of these Simon Woolf limited edition photographs. Cheques should be sent to the
New Zealand Centre for Photography

George Silk Prints donated to NZCP
One of the more tangible things to emerge from fotofest 98 was a set of prints taken by expatriate New Zealand Life photographer George Silk, who was honoured with a NZIPP fellowship. Given to the chairman of the Centre at a special function, they will fill a very important gap in the Centre's collection.

Ans Westra honoured
Ans Westra was honoured in the Queen's Birthday Honours announced on the 1st of June. She received a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit CNZM for her services to photography.

In an interview with the Evening Post she said how diffident she was about being honoured in this way. "I'm pretty sure I got the honour from the Maori community and it's very welcome recognition there. It has been a very controversial place that I have had there."
In our opinion, this is an honour truly bestowed and rightly deserved. Our only regret is that it does not come with a stipend for the rest of her life.

Romeo Martinez International Photomeeting
The San Marino Ministry of Tourism approached Bill Main to nominate 4 to 5 New Zealand and Australian photographers for their annual
Romeo Martinez International Photomeeting. Martinez was editor for the prestigious publication Swiss 'CAMERA' for many years and retired to San Marino.
After a silence which extended into June, expectations were at a low ebb until a bulky package from the shores of the Mediterranean finally did arrive at the Centre's office. The parcel contained two distinct objects. First there was the catalogue and inside three of our contributors had made the finals! Then came a box clad in blue velvet. Inside was a genuine gold coin.
Since then, we at the Centre have been treading on clouds. Our nominations made it to the finals in the company of submissions from Argentina, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico and Spain.
We therefore extend our congratulations to Rebecca Shanahan (Australia), Bryn Evans (London) and Colleen Maria Lenihan (Wanganui and Wellington).

Eleven Explorations of Makara
Although we seldom run reviews of exhibitions, we would like to commend the Wellington Politechnic final year Advanced Diploma of Photography students for a display they put on at 22 Egmont Street in Wellington from the 26th of June to the 10th of July. It was a very polished presentation with a brochure whcih contained illustrations from each of the photographers. While some folios left a little to be desired as afr as print quality was concerned, the overall effect was first class.
Those taking part were Victoria Birkinshaw, Greg Bowker, Kate Iremonger, Liz Johnson, Glenn McLay, Kinstry Smythe, Eiji Toyokawa, Megan Ralfe, Sarah Tait, Melanie Thaker and Steve Rowe.
