These events are FREE and open to the public. Children are welcome in the company of an adult.
Please register for each event that you plan to attend. You will receive important information on parking after you register. E-mail Elizabeth Wylde at friendsoffreshpond@yahoo.com or call 617- 349-6489 and leave your name and phone number.
ALMOST SPRING BIRD WALK
Saturday, March 2
9 to 11 am
Street end of Neville Place driveway
650 Concord Avenue
Spring is just around the corner! The earliest migrating birds are beginning to arrive at the Reservation, where they will either stay for the breeding season or rest before continuing their journey northward. The new arrivals and year-round residents will soon be busy building nests and defending territories. We may see a variety of migrating waterfowl on the ponds as well as songbirds in trees. Beginners are welcome! We have binoculars to lend and will show you how to use them.
WINTER TWIG IDENTIFICATION
Sunday, March 10
1 to 3 pm
Maynard Ecology Center, lower level of Neville Place
650 Concord Avenue
Learn to identify our local trees in winter by looking at their twigs – and do it while keeping warm and comfortable indoors! During this program each participant will receive a bag of twigs from native tree species growing on the Reservation, several identification guides, and lots of help from us. You can label your twigs and take them home for further examination. Appropriate for adults and children over 10 with a parent. You must register to participate and to get parking directions.
EXPLORING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM AND BEYOND
Friday, March 15
6:30 to 8:30 pm
Water Department parking lot
250 Fresh Pond Parkway
A jewel of the Cambridge water-delivery system, Payson Park Reservoir is also an oasis for astronomy, with its relative lack of light pollution and horizon-to-horizon vistas. Join Emmanuel College astronomy lecturer Joshua Roth and explore the vast dimensions of our solar system with a fun hands-on model-building exercise. Participate in a potential comet sighting and view Jupiter, the crescent moon, and the Orion Nebula with affordable telescopes. Dress warmly. Feel free, but not obliged, to bring binoculars or small telescopes. All ages welcome. No prior experience with stargazing required. We will meet in the CWD parking lot and carpool to Payson Park. You must register for this program. Rain or overcast date: Saturday, March 16.

SOMERVILLE ARTBEAT 2013 - July 19-20, 2013
The Somerville Arts Council announces
ArtBeat 2013
July 19 & 20, 2013
Calls to talent, craft vendors, and community vendors are now available.
Found here: http://www.somervilleartscouncil.org/artbeat/calls
And now for the theme!
Thinking big has been done. So this year, we invite you to think small. “Micro” evokes many things: microscopes, microwaves, microgrooves, micro-beers, micro-grants (like kickstarter) and perhaps even Micronesia! Visual artists might explore infinitesimally small patterns or forms. Tech wizards might create projects exploring the power of microprocessors or a symphony of microwave ovens heating up various food items. Dancers might explore small, subtle gestures or work within a confined space. Other ideas include exploring the locavore movement, which promotes shopping and living on a local/micro scale. Ultimately, we are interested in exploring how small things might attract oversized impact and attention. We look forward to your creative interpretation of this theme!
If applicable, send in proposals using “Micro” as an overarching theme. Although bands, for example, don’t need to relate a proposed performance to the festival theme (although they certainly are welcome to try), we hope many other applicants will relate their proposals to this year’s theme.
Enjoy.

SOMERVILLE BIKES & ART EXHIBITION - March 27, 2013
The Somerville Arts Council presents
Bike Salon: The Intersection of Bikes and Art
Curated by Jacy Edelman
Location: Arts at the Armory, 191 Highland Avenue, Somerville
When: Wed., March 27, 7:30-9pm
What do you get when bicycles and art cross paths? Skunk, Against the Grind,
and Bikeyface will lead us on a wheeling adventure that intersects comics,
robots, road culture, documentary filmmaking, lasers, blogging, choppers and
More.
About the Speakers
SCUL-ture and Sculpture
Skunk speaks of SCUL: bicycle chopper gang, and Skunkadelia: art made
from upcycled bike parts. Skunk has been transmogrifying trash-picked
bikes since 1996. The awe-inspiring chopper Cloudbuster will be on hand for
show and tell.
Against The Grind: Rachel Wiederhoeft and Jessica Barnthouse
Against The Grind will discuss documentary filmmaking while living on
bikes. How do you find a film subject in the middle of nowhere? How much film
production equipment can you reasonably bring on a bike tour? When do you
film and when do you just let the experiences happen? Questions like these will
be covered; along with clips from our documentary series they produced while
pedaling 3,500 miles across the United States.
Bikeyface
Bikeyface is a hilarious, and sometimes irreverent, web comic about biking in
the city. Bekka Wright will talk about how she uses her cartoons to entertain,
educate, and raise the profile of biking for normal transportation.

No Fooling, Complementary Initial Photoshop and Computer Training Consult
If you are considering my Photoshop and Computer tutoring, keep in mind that I never charge for the initial consultation. You are welcome to bring in film, prints, files, or anything else that will help me get an idea of what your skills are and what you are looking to achieve. We'll spend an hour or so going over my approach to Photoshop and photo printing, as well as how I can help you achieve the fine prints from your images.
If you are like many of my clients, you want to control as much of the photo and printing process as possible. Whether shooting film or digital, or even if you need reproductions of your paintings and drawings, you can also save alot by doing the photoshop work yourself. For photographers shooting film (or with archives of 100's of rolls from past projects!), I offer the best drum scanning service in New England, bar none. Once artists or photographers have their images in digital form (either from my scan or from their digital camera), they do the photoshop "development", and then I can make them Fine-Art prints using skills, processes, and a fine eye developed over decades.
Clients can save a lot by doing their own editing- but what if you are unsure of your photoshop skills? My clients often benefit the most from a combination of training and collaboration. Clients and I review their goals for an image, the work they have already done, and I typically suggest ways of working towards their goal that they may not know, or I show them steps they have taken that work against them. I will show them 3 or 4 steps to take, and they go back to their studio and work on their images. Usually we will repeat the process, either moving on to more advanced techniques, or solving problems that have arisen. Clients learn a few techniques well, and get their show or portfolio done in the process! Training costs vary, depending on the skills and needs of the photographer, and the size of the portfolio or exhibition. References available on request.
Please call or email me for more information, or to set up an initial consultation.
Complementary Introduction to Film and Artwork Drum Scanning.
Many of the photographers and other artists who receive these emails may not know that I offer the finest drum scanning service in New England. Why would you want to drum scan your (up to 18x24") film or other originals? Simple, image quality. Drum scanning has three major advantages over all other scanning.
First, and most important, your film is scanned "wet-mounted". Why should you care? Wet-mounting puts a clear fluid on both sides of your film; this fluid has the same refractive index as your film. The fluid washes away any finger-prints or other impurities on the film, but more importantly, it actually fills in most of the tiny cracks and scratches you always see in high-rez scans. This means less spotting time for you- much, much less! (Paper originals are scanned without fluid, so no worries!)
Second, instead of a big wide light source (like a xerox machine) that is used in all other forms of scanning, a drum scanner uses a tiny spot of light, as small as 1/5000 of an inch. Big Deal? Actually, yes. That big, wide light source in your flatbed, film scanner or Imacon throws a great amount of light on your film; it starts scattering around, causing 2 problems. First, any place where you have highlights near shadows, the highlights will "bloom", giving a halo-effect around the highlights. Second, you get much more noise in your scan, especially noticeable in shadows and smooth areas.
Third, drum scanners always have perfect focus across the entire image. Photos are sharp edge to edge, and there is no focus drop off. Scans are available up to 5000 DPI.
I want to help you find out whether you can improve your images (and sales!) by drum scanning your originals! Until further notice, I am offering a complementary introductory scan to any new scanning customer. All I ask is you pay whatever you think the scan is worth, after you've taken it home and compared it with scans you've done before. I believe that after you've seen the difference, you'll come back to scan your most important work.
Finally, a word about scan prices. Drum scanning is expensive, there's no getting around it. But not that much more expensive than other scans, and when you factor in the reduced spotting and clean-up time, it can be very cost effective. I also routinely discount 5% - 40% for multiple image scanning jobs, so if you have a pile of film around that you want to start printing digitally, give me a call and we'll hash out the possibilities. It won't be as bad as you think!
Please call or email me for more information, or to set up a complementary initial consultation.
Open most weekdays from 11am - 8pm; call first (617) 429-3298

This class aims to introduce new photographers with digital cameras to Photoshop. Photoshop is an extensive program which offers thousands of tools to edit, manipulate, and enhance photographs. We will introduce students to that potential by walking them through the basic tools that make up the program from shooting to uploading, resizing, then preparing images for the web. This course will include methods and tools like sharpening, color correcting, spot removal, layer editing and more. The class will lay a strong foundation for Photoshop and ensure the program is learned correctly from square one.

PHOTOSHOP Beginners

In this class students will be introduced to the most powerful and popular image-editing program available. Camera Eye’s PHOTOSHOP for Beginners will assist students in harnessing the countless tools in the program and streamline a working process for photographers and artists. The course will survey the digital influence on art and photography while training students how to enhance traditional imagery as well as create dynamic new images. This course serves as a fundamental introduction to Photoshop for beginners.

Opensound is a monthly concert series that explores improvised and experimental music, bringing artists from disparate backgrounds together for unique events in Somerville MA. The process of improvisation combines the distinctive voices of its individual performers. The music that results is often surprising, unconventional and dynamic. It s not uncommon to hear music made of electronic crackles, noisy multi-phonics, gurgling, hissing, quiet vocalized gibberish, atonal noodling, bowed metal, blowing sounds, post-everything harmony, and a thousand shades of hullabaloo.
You may also see video and dance cohabitating with buzzes, clicks, drones, wooshes, and bleeps in a bizarre galaxy of pitch and spectra!

Flutist, conductor, teacher, and arranger Orlando Cela embraces all aspects of music. From Vivaldi's Double Concerto with Paula Robisonto Indian classical music with Samir Chatterjee, Orlando is an accomplished musician in a wide variety of styles and settings. He performs regularly with the I/O New Music Ensemble, Music at Eden's Edge, Duo SopraVoce (with violinist Annegret Klaua), and as a solo performer, collaborating with musicians such as pianists Aaron Jackson, Yukiko Shimazaki, Sivan Etedgee, harpist Barbara Poeschl-Edrich, and many more. He has commissioned many works for flute, and premiered many other works, including the American premiere of Hèctor Parra "InFALL," Salvatore Sciarrino's "Autoritratto nella Notte" and his opera "Lohengrin" - the latter with the Soria Chamber Players, a group he founded and led for three years. Orlando has arranged a large number of works for multiple flutes which include not only Classical music favorites, but also folk music
from Romania, Bulgaria, Venezuela, Argentina, India, Croatia, Japan, and more. Orlando is now working on his fifth recording, "Project Extended," a compilation of pieces by contemporary composers who wrote works for him using nothing except extended techniques. You can find his other recordings on iTunes, Amazon and CDBaby.
Augustus Arnone is an adventurous pianist who has made a home at the edge of transcendental extremes in the modern repertory. His repertoire includes works by John Cage, Iannis Xenakis, Michael Finnissy, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Frederic Rzewski, Elliott Carter, Luigi Nono, Alvin Lucier, Morton Feldman, Donald Martino, and Milton Babbitt. A stalwart champion of the ever controversial Babbitt, Mr. Arnone performed the composer's complete solo piano music over the course of two evenings at Merkin Concert Hall, the recordings of which available as streaming audio here. Mr. Arnone is an ardent advocate of new music and music by emerging composers, and has collaborated with composers Roberto Sierra, David Rakowski, Jason Eckardt, Edmund Campion, Stephen Gorbos, Christopher Bailey, Yotam Haber, and Michael Klingbeil. He is also an enthusiastic improviser and recent concerts have featured solo improvisation using MIDI-enabled acoustic piano as well as digital synthesizers.

AFTER THE BIG BLIZZARD FESTIVITIES - February 9, 2013
This weekend, Boston will be rocked by the biggest snow storm to hit New England in years. It's expected to howl away through Friday night and Saturday morning... leaving us Saturday afternoon to play in the snow! Grab your buckets, shovels and gloves and join us as we set up some speakers, put out some hot chocolate, and build snow forts, snowmen, and whatever other snow sculpture you want in Union Square.
Artisan's Asylum has done this once before to great affect - two years ago, we had around 200 people join us, and we made Calvin & Hobbes sculptures, igloos, snow-decahedrons, snow dragons, armies of tiny snowmen, and more. You can read more about our previous escapades here: http://somerville.patch.com/articles/photo-gallery-snow-art-flash-mob-creates-wintry-art-and-an-epic-snowball-fight
If you're interested, I encourage you to share the Facebook event for this so we can get a good crowd: https://www.facebook.com/events/566841069995108/ . Invite your friends, and let's have us a snow day!
One last note: this event is weather dependent! Our ideal would be if 1-2' of snow was on the ground, skies were clear and winds were mild to non-existent. If the conditions are something more akin to it being multiple tens of degrees below zero, with gale force winds and driving sleet, we obviously won't be doing this. We'll announce one way or another on this list.
Thanks,
