Twenty Years On: The Analog Photography Work of Alexander Thompson
Alexander Thompson is among the anachronistic holdouts in photography. Using only film, in real cameras, Alexander develops all of his own work. His images are a broad mix of the personal, the generic and the cliché. But all of them hold true to a vision Alexander has pursued since before he ever picked up a camera.Once a floundering art student, with more enthusiasm than talent, a chance discovery of a cache of cameras and darkroom equipment in an attic changed his course in 1995. “People ask if I’m a professional photographer when they see me setting up the somewhat elaborate cameras I use.

Wise Aging Together
WISE AGING TOGETHER
Temple Ahavat Achim (86 Middle St., Gloucester, MA)
Sunday, November 1st from 10 am to 12 pm
We can look forward to a longer life span than in any time in history. This trend is expected to continue.
What are the opportunities, the concerns, challenges, the questions? How do we navigate the inevitable changes that will accompany us? How do we make the best use of our extra years? This is new terrain. There a no precedents and few models to follow. No paths but the steps we take, one after the other.
WE DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE.
At TAA we are starting a year long Wise Aging Project, partly in cooperation with Jewish Family and Children Service and in collaboration with other community resources. Through readings from secular and Jewish texts, guest lectures, guided exercise and discussion groups, we will explore, this life stage together.
Our First event will be a presentation and discussion by Marjorie Sokoll and her staff from the JF&CF Spirituality and Aging program. We are thrilled and excited to be starting this project with you.
