Billboards and body-shaming

Recently, billboards have popped up all around the city with the message that working out and eating healthy is neither fun nor games.

The advertisement shames women whose jeans don’t fit, communicating that they should stop enjoying life and shape up.

It’s not news that our society bombards us with images of what women should look like, causing scores of women to struggle with body image and food choices.

Shame on the Rochester Athletic Club for Women.

They should know better.

Let’s send a message to Rochester’s women that all body sizes are acceptable, that a good relationship with food tastes great, and that exercise can feel like fun and games.

Main Street needs shuttle service

The media has reported the second fighting incident either in or outside the transit center. City Council member [Adam] McFadden is correct that the Liberty Pole problems have just moved to the center. I have said this would be a problem ever since construction began.

While the center looks warm and fuzzy, it was just a ruse to install a fare increase.

Not only that, but riders, particularly on the south side of Main Street, have to walk all the way to the center to board their buses. It would have made more sense to 2 CITY

modernize and increase the street shelters.

And some riders still have to board buses outside.

There has also been a decrease in police presence at the main intersections of Main Street. Another pedestrian and I were almost struck the other day by an aggressive driver making a right turn.

I strongly suggest that a shuttle service be provided on Main Street from noon until 2 p.m. and possibly rush hour to alleviate at least some of this problem.

Cuomo’s antipoverty task force

Bandwagons are great. Come up with a “no brainer” idea and everyone will jump on board. But if this issue was truly in the hearts and minds of politicians, the problem would be solved by now.

But then again, “task force” is simply the illusion that something is being done. In reality, it is just more window dressing that politicians put up to temporarily satisfy the public and ultimately hide what is actually going to solve the poverty problem — not much.

TOM JANOWSKI

How long has Joe Morelle been in office anyway?

I don’t remember him EVER taking a courageous position on poverty, minimum wage, child care, affordable housing, gun control, education, or other issues that Democrats care about. Everyone in the know — with the exception of this paper, apparently — understands that Morelle’s getting ready for a bid for Congress.

This task force is just a ploy to create a record where there isn’t one.

Dear friends on the task force: you’ve been played and now you’re on the hook for endless meetings and photo opps that will lead to no change.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Are we really willing to tackle poverty?

You know the stats: Rochester has the third-highest poverty level of any US city of comparable size – and the highest rate of extreme poverty.

More than half of the children in the city are poor, giving us the secondhighest child poverty rate in in the country.

The statistics, the extent, may be news, but it is not news that Rochester has a poverty crisis. It is not news, either, that Rochester has known about it for decades and hasn’t done the hard work required to alleviate it.

And every so often, regular as clockwork, we get a new report, and community leaders cry out in shock and announce their determination to Do Something. And they form a committee.

And the poverty grows.

It’s not that nobody cares. It’s not that a great deal of effort – and, yes, money – isn’t invested in worthy programs. But the result is clear: We’re not fighting poverty effectively. We have a raft of programs that serve people already in poverty, and those are important. But few of them will reduce poverty. And those that could don’t serve more than a relative handful.

And so, as the new year was dawning, we got another anti-poverty initiative: the Rochester Anti-Poverty Task Force (named at its birth, curiously, the AntiPoverty Strike Force).

To their credit, the folks who initiated this effort noted right up front that what we’ve been doing isn’t working. A December 27 document titled “RochesterMonroe County Anti-Poverty Initiative Proposal” (signed by New York Assembly Leader Joe Morelle, Mayor Lovely Warren, County Executive Maggie Brooks, and United Way CEO Peter Carpino), insists that we need “a “bold, innovative solution.”

But the proposal’s idea of boldness seems focused on improving the very “system” that it says isn’t working. It talks about “integrating” our existing services, about “flexible funding arrangements,” “better targeting and coordinating resources.”

This community has already done important studies of its poverty problem – its causes and the steps that could alleviate it. Those studies show clearly that the causes include the concentration of the community’s poverty in a few city neighborhoods. But this proposal seems to assume that we can’t do much about that – that we can deal with this problem while we keep it bottled up, where our anti-poverty efforts won’t disturb the rest of us.

I’m being cynical. I know that this was a proposal, not a plan. Representatives of various groups are going to get together

Maybe the new Anti-Poverty Task Force will come up with a bold plan. But I’m not optimistic. and develop a plan. Maybe they’ll come up with a bold one. But I’m not optimistic.

We’ve already been down this road, way too many times.

We know what caused our poverty crisis. And we know the big steps we have to take to address it effectively. And bigger coordination among social-service agencies ain’t on the list.

I’ll keep coming back to this issue, and the work of the new task force, as things get going. But let me toss out a challenge: Agree that “coordination” and “flexible funding” and that kind of thing are important. But they’re housekeeping.

They’re what taxpayers and charitable donors should expect. They’re not bold.

And then start talking about the hard stuff. Agree, for instance, that we can’t solve this community’s poverty crisis within the city limits. Focus on things like the minimum wage, low-income housing in the suburbs, school integration, education quality, parenting and early-childhood education from birth forward, the criminal justice system.

Improving local services for the poor is important. Done right, they will make life easier for some poor people and may lift a few people out of poverty. But they treat symptoms, not causes.

It’s treating the causes that is hard. And expensive. And politically controversial.

But if we’re not willing to address the causes, all we’re doing is tinkering – and to put it bluntly, making ourselves feel that we’re Doing Something.

More on all that in the weeks to come.

Midtown tower funded

The Midtown tower redevelopment project is fully funded, thanks to a $36.5 million bank loan.

Buckingham Properties and Morgan Management are partners in the $59 million project to remake the tower for retail, office space, and apartments.

The tower project has also received about $19 million in COMIDA incentives, including exemptions in mortgage and sales taxes.

Deal reached on MCC campus

Monroe County and local building trades unions have signed on to a project labor agreement for Monroe Community College’s downtown campus. The agreement lays out work conditions and provides for apprentice workers to get on-the-job experience.

It also allows for competitive bidding and prohibits strikes. The county has purchased former Kodak buildings on State Street for the campus, and expects the project to cost $72 million.

More Medley problems

As if Medley Centre needed any more legal complications, one of the project’s former lenders filed to foreclose on Irondequoit’s dead mall. Medley’s

owner, Bersin Properties, is already suing the bank, Nomura Capital and Credit, for pulling the project’s financing. Nomura’s filing could be a response to that lawsuit, though details weren’t immediately available. Bersin planned to redevelop Medley for housing, retail, and a hotel, among other uses.

Settlement houses team up

Baden Street Settlement, Charles Settlement House, and the Community Place of Greater Rochester have joined forces to create the Settlement Houses of Rochester Foundation.

The three nonprofits, which provide work force development, afterschool programs, and health services, formed the new foundation to pursue shared funding.

Community Coalition spells out goals

The Rochester Community Coalition’s 2015 agenda includes improving education and creating jobs. In a presentation to the local state delegation, coalition leaders asked delegates to pursue funding to increase quality day care programs, to expand the Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection, and to obtain more money for higher education programs.

The widely praised Nurse-Family Partnership program provides maternal and early childhood health programs to families in need.

POVERTY | BY JEREMY MOULE

Task force to focus on jobs The Rochester Anti-Poverty Task Force announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo will hold its first meeting in the next few weeks.

United Way CEO Peter Carpino gave an overview of the effort last week. He said that the task force will bring together 20 state agencies; some local government, business, and nonprofit leaders; and some people who are impacted by poverty.

The group includes Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, County Executive Maggie Brooks, and State Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle.

The task force grew out of a push by United Way to improve the

administration of three evidence-based home-visitation programs: NurseFamily Partnership, Parents as Teachers, and Building Healthy Children.

Carpino asked the state for $25 million over five years to fund the programs and to create “an integrated, holistic model” for their delivery.

Cuomo saw promise in the idea, Carpino said, but wanted the Rochester community to take a deeper and broader look at child poverty, which ultimately led to the task force.

Though it’s still not clear what the task force will do, Carpino did offer some details about the group’s focus.

Local leaders will work with state agencies to examine data and identify ways to make state anti-poverty funding more flexible, he said.

And the task force will likely concentrate on five areas: jobs; education and middle-skills training; housing; health and nutrition; and safe neighborhoods, Carpino said.

Morelle said that the idea is to use data to identify programs that work and to steer resources to them so that the investments produce better outcomes at a lower cost.

The group has an opportunity to help families climb out of poverty permanently, Warren said.

“Our research shows that 75 percent of the token redemption is for fresh fruits and vegetables, though they can also be used for meat, poultry, and baked goods. But they can’t be used for hot prepared foods. Sorry, no breakfast sandwiches.” [ MARGARET O’NEILL ]

NUTRITION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Public Market tokens help SNAP users The frigid weather didn’t deter a determined stream of customers at the Rochester Public Market from finding Margaret O’Neill for Market Tokens on a recent Thursday.

O’Neill is the program director for the Friends of the Rochester Public Market and she manages the token program, which she says is a main access to nutritional foods for many Rochester seniors, children, and families.

Customers who receive support from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program can use their debit-like benefit card to obtain small, wooden coins that can be used to purchase fresh produce and other foods from the market’s vendors.

The tokens come in green $1 and red $5 denominations. The low-tech program is a surprisingly powerful antidote to the food deserts that exist in many low-income neighborhoods, O’Neill says, where fresh, affordable produce can be hard to find.

And Rochester’s token program may be one of the most effective in the country, she says. The market exchanged more than $500,000 in tokens in 2014, or nearly 3 percent of all SNAP redemptions at the roughly 5,000 public markets across the country, O’Neill says.

“Our research shows that 75 percent of the token redemption is for fresh

fruits and vegetables, though they can also be used for meat, poultry, and baked goods,” she says. “But they can’t be used for hot prepared foods. Sorry, no breakfast sandwiches.”

Some customers use the tokens to purchase vegetable plants in the spring and grow their own food, O’Neill says. The program benefits farmers, too, she says, because they can sell more produce.

The success of the token program is bittersweet, however, because it’s a sobering reminder of the poverty impacting the Rochester area, she says.

The number of food stamp users at the Public Market has grown astronomically in the last few years, O’Neill says.

Though the token program is extremely popular with customers and vendors, “Unfortunately, it also gives us the distinction of being one of the poorest communities in the country,” she says.

The program was developed in 2008 when New York State stopped issuing the paper denominations commonly referred to as food stamps. The state began providing monthly SNAP benefits on a plastic card that looks and operates much like a debit card.

“But most of the vendors don’t have an electronic debit card machine,” O’Neill says.

Several state agencies developed the token program for New York, which operates on a voluntary basis with vendors.

Through March, SNAP customers can double the value of their tokens at the Public Market up to $20 per person per day. The promotion was made possible by a $100,000 grant from the Greater Rochester Health Foundation.

Stare and the RPO unveil their next season

Concert-goers got a look Tuesday night at what’s in store for them under the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s young new music director in a preview program that featured selections from the 2015-16 season.

Ward Stare assumed his position leading the RPO last September, but by then this year’s performances were already set, so next year will be both the first series he has designed and the first in which he’ll be the person most often on the podium. The season will consist of an intentional mix of familiar works and new pieces. That reflects Stare’s plan for building his relationship with Rochester audiences and the orchestra – and for expanding the RPO’s relationship with the community.

The season will include 12 Philharmonics programs, eight of which will be conducted by Stare. Guest conducting appearances will include Fabien Gabel (the Quebec conductor who received rave reviews when he conducted here in 2014), Gunther Herbig (former music director of the Detroit and Toronto symphonies) conductor laureate Christopher Seaman, and RPO principal Pops conductor Jeff Tyzik leading the orchestra in the world premiere of his Violin Concerto, written for RPO concertmaster Juliana Athayde.

The nine programs in the Pops series, programmed by Tyzik, will feature an evening with vocalist Megan Hilty, a performance by the circus performance group Cirque Musica, and a concert featuring trumpeter Doc Severinsen.

Season extras include a taping of the NPR program “From the Top,” a performance by 6 CITY

FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015

pop songwriter-pianist Jim Brickman, and a concert of the music from the massively popular video game series “Final Fantasy.”

The season will also include four OrKIDstra concerts and a new Sunday matinee series of chamber works at Hochstein.

Since Stare was appointed music director,

he has spoken frequently about his desire to shape a new connection between the orchestra and its audience, and to push further to reach new audiences in Rochester.

His inaugural season, he hopes, will be a good first step.

“Whenever you’re building your season, especially if it’s your first season as a music director, you want to focus on building your relationship with the public and the orchestra simultaneously,” Stare said in an interview with City. “I was looking for repertoire that I thought would be the right balance of pieces that were new for the orchestra, pieces that would be challenging and interesting for the orchestra, and pieces that will also be accessible and inviting for our audience.”

If there is an overall message, Stare said, it’s to connect with the public through music. He hopes to introduce audiences to new composers and new works, he said, but knows he must first build trust with both the audience and the orchestra. And it’s easy to see the care and consideration given as he describes the programming in greater detail. Within each program, he aimed for a mix that would take the

ROCHESTERCITYNEWSPAPER.COM

audience from a familiar work to a less familiar or completely new piece.

For example, the February 25 and 27 program, guest-conducted by Gunther Herbig, will give audiences a familiar piece with Mozart’s Symphony No. 29, move into a work that is probably new to much of the RPO audience, Eastman alum Eric Ewazen’s Bass Trombone Concerto, and finish with Schumann’s “Rhenish” Symphony.

On March 17 and 19, the program will open with “Rapture” by the young American composer Patrick Harlin, followed

by Samuel Barber’s Symphony No. 1 and Vaughan Williams’ “Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis” — both pieces from the early 20th-century — and end with “Four Last Songs” by Richard Strauss. Soprano Erin Wall will be the soloist.

Stare admits that he has pieces in mind that

he would like to incorporate in future seasons, “But I think even in this season,” he said, “we have some very challenging repertoire for the orchestra, and we have a good mix. And I hope it will communicate to the audience that we value their experience as well and want them to enjoy and connect with the music.”

The season also includes about 10 pieces that are either brand new or haven’t been performed at all or in recent years by the RPO. The premieres are of a cocommissioned piece, Aaron Jay Kernis’s

‘Pops’ and substance: the RPO’s balancing act Flute Concerto (February 4 and 6) and Tyzik’s Violin Concerto (May 5 and 7). In a “nod to the history,” Stare said, he spent time in the RPO’s archives to find works that the orchestra hasn’t performed in quite some time. The April 14 and 16 program includes Saint-Saens’ “Danse Bacchanale,” last performed by the RPO in 1950, and the June 2 and 4 program includes Borodin’s “Polovtsian Dances,” performed by the orchestra in 1942.

The season bears a strong mark of youth.

In addition to the 32-year-old Stare himself, the guest artists include violinist Simone Porter, an 18-year-old who has already performed with the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics (November 18 and 21); pianist Vadym Kholodenko, 28, who got an enthusiastic reception in his RPO performance in 2014 and returns on March 3 and 5; and cellist Julie Albers and guest conductor Fabien Gabel — both under 40 — appearing January 14 and 16. Works by young, talented composers are featured as well: “Ravish and Mayhem,” by Stephanie Berg, March 3 and 5, and Harlin’s “Rapture.”

“There are so many talented people coming through the ranks,” Stare said. “And so I think it’s exciting when you can find people who can make a debut with the orchestra, or come back immediately — like Vadym – after having a very successful debut,” letting the orchestra start building relationships with new artists.”

Beyond the programming, the RPO hopes to reach audiences in new ways next season. Among the efforts, Stare said: The RPO will ask concert-goers to submit requests and questions via social media — anything from “What’s the difference between a violin and a viola” to explanations of a particular work’s movements, and the RPO will make a concentrated effort to reply back in some form.

But at the center of any Philharmonics season is the orchestra itself, which Stare will put front and center in the September 17 and 19 season opener. The program doesn’t feature any guest musicians or soloists: it will be simply Stare and the orchestra.

The performance will include Dukas’s “Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” Tchaikovsky’s “Francesca da Rimini,” and Barber’s Adagio for Strings, and will end with “Pines of Rome” by Respighi.

“I want to feature this phenomenal orchestra that we have in an all-orchestral program of blockbusters,” Stare said, “to herald the coming of this new season, this new outlook, and this new effort to reach out to our community.”

Eighteenth-century composers and writers on music used to differentiate between “music lovers” and “connoisseurs.” The music lovers, it was thought, went for the simple, tuneful, dance-y stuff; the connoisseurs liked more complicated, modern music.

In their search for audiences, modern concert organizations tread a fine line between the two, trying to strike a balance that might bring people into the hall to hear old favorites and familiar composers, and those with more musical background and more adventurous ears. The Rochester Philharmonic’s justannounced 2015-2016 season is building a bridge between the music lovers and the connoisseurs, constructed by new music director Ward Stare.

The programming for the RPO’s Philharmonics series (the “symphonic music” concerts) features a lot of what used to be called “pops concert fare” – but pops concerts have changed a lot since Arthur Fiedler’s day, so your only chance to hear live performances of colorful, short pieces like Saint-Saens’ “Bacchanale” or Dukas’ “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” probably is at a symphony concert. They definitely qualify as crowd-pleasers, and a good performance can make you realize why they became popular in the first place.

But that said, there is quite a lot of substantial fare coming up, including favorite symphonies by Brahms, Sibelius, and Tchaikovsky. No Mahler or Bruckner this time around, though there are a few heavyweight orchestral works, including Richard Strauss’s “Ein Heldenleben,” Rachmaninoff’s “Symphonic Dances,” and Ravel’s “Daphnis et Chloe,” that will give the RPO opportunity to show its virtuoso credentials.

While Ward Stare will have plenty of opportunities to show his prowess in music for large forces (including a rare chorusand-orchestra work, Vaughan Williams’ “Toward the Unknown Region”), he also seems to have a taste for Haydn and Mozart, a very encouraging sign.

American music seems mostly represented by Samuel Barber; his “Adagio for Strings,” Violin Concerto, and First Symphony are all on the season’s roster. But there is also a commissioned work by a toprank composer – a flute concerto by Aaron Jay Kernis – and a new violin concerto for RPO concertmaster Juliana Athayde by the prolific Jeff Tyzik. And there are a couple of concert openers by composers I admit I’ve

never heard of – Stephanie Berg and Patrick Harlin – which I consider a good sign.

The guest conductors and soloists generally fall into the “young and up-andcoming” category (Christopher Seaman and Gunther Herbig are the exceptions here, but they’re always welcome).

Conductor Fabien Gabel and pianist Vadym Kholodenko have happily been invited back, but the big news may be that so many of the guest artists are women – most of them, in fact, including one of the season’s stars, pianist Yuja Wang, who makes her debut here not with Tchaikovsky or Chopin, but with Bartok’s First Piano Concerto, a thrillingly percussive work that I don’t think I have ever heard at an RPO concert. From Wang to violinist Simone Porter to Broadway star Megan Hilty, it’s an impressive list of talented women.

Next season, the RPO replaces the Symphony 101 series with a new Sunday matinee series – no fewer than six 90-minute concerts whose programs feature chamber orchestra rep by Haydn, Schubert, and other favorite composers.

And while I am anticipating hearing the high-powered guests the RPO has invited next year, one of the performances I’m most looking forward to is on this series: Haydn’s delightful Sinfonia Concertante, conducted

he evolution of RIT’s photo program tells a story, like snapshots in a photo album or images on the front page of a newspaper.

And the story is this: even though digital has quickly risen to become photography’s prevalent image-capture technology, film is far from obsolete.

Photography and film were once inseparable. That changed, of course, after digital cameras hit the market.

Professionals and consumers embraced the new technology, which provided an immediate payoff — no more spending hours in the darkroom or waiting days for your film to be developed.

RIT didn’t abandon film, however; the school has 30 darkrooms now, compared to the 100 it had 30 years ago, says Willie Osterman, chair of RIT’s fine art photography program. And first-year students are no longer required to learn

how to use film and a darkroom. But students can take film photography classes in their second year, and the school is actually adding to those offerings.

“What’s interesting to me is that some students are interested in coming to RIT because we still do both analog and digital,” says Osterman, who teaches a class on wet plate collodion photography, a process straight out of 1852. (Osterman uses film and digital cameras in his own photography.)

Digital cameras are everywhere, from the big system cameras that the pros use to ubiquitous smartphones; the image-sharing site Flickr says that the top five cameras among its users are on smartphones.

But film is still important in the world of photography.

The product lines have shrunk, and sales will never return to their previous heights.

But a significant core of photographic

Enthusiasts still relish the rush of finishing a roll and the fixer-laden smell of the darkroom

professionals, artists, and enthusiasts still relish the rush of finishing a roll of film and the fixer-laden smell of the darkroom. And they remain dedicated to the technology and culture of film.

“It has a depth to the images that digital just doesn’t have,” says Heather McKay, a Rochester photographer who shoots weddings in digital, but has returned to film for her portrait work. Her customers notice the difference, she says. When presented with digital and film images to purchase, she says, customers almost without fail pick the film shots.

It’s tough to find figures that show the decline of film sales after the introduction of digital, since manufacturers are reluctant to share. But the US Census Bureau tracks domestic shipments of photographic films and chemicals, and their value — not adjusted for inflation — fell from approximately $11.9 billion in 1997 to $5.3 billion in 2011, the last year on record.

Numbers aside, Rochester is intimately familiar with photo film’s rise and fall.

George Eastman pioneered the technology here, and his Eastman Kodak Company brought photography to the masses. Kodak became an American icon and at one point, the Rochester region’s largest employer.

Plummeting film sales were a major factor in Kodak’s 2012 bankruptcy. And when the company emerged from Chapter 11 last year, it no longer sold photographic film. (Professional movie film is another matter entirely; Kodak is the only company left making and selling it.)

But just as Rochester played an important part in film’s birth and photography’s growth, it now plays a critical role in keeping the traditional technology alive.

Kodak Alaris is the name of the company

that now sells the Kodak film line.

The company came into being during Kodak’s bankruptcy proceedings. Kodak created the new company by spinning off its consumer imaging segments, including its film business. Ownership of Kodak Alaris immediately went to Kodak’s UK Pension Fund, a transaction worked out to settle Kodak’s future obligations to the fund.

While the companies are independent, they are also intertwined. The film sold

by Kodak Alaris is made by Kodak under a supply agreement, and it’s made at the same Rochester facility where Kodak manufactures its motion picture film.

Last week, six major movie studios signed agreements with Kodak to purchase motion picture film for a few years; the company didn’t disclose the exact length of the agreements. The contracts guarantee that Kodak will profit from the manufacture of the film.

But the arrangement is good news for photo film buffs, too, since it means that the plant supplying Kodak Alaris with its film will continue operating for at least the length of the contracts.

As long as film remains viable and profitable, Kodak Alaris plans to sell it, says company spokesperson Audrey Jonckheer.

Kodak Alaris actively promotes film photography on social media and at trade shows. And in the past it has teamed up with other film photography companies for promotional events. In 2013, for example, Alaris was involved with the lo-fi camera maker Lomography’s first Film Photography Day. Jonckheer says that photography isn’t an either-or choice between digital and film;

that it’s a matter of personal preference.

Photographers tell the company that they use film because they like the way it looks, or because they enjoy developing film and making prints, she says.

Kodak Alaris has competition in the world of photo film, including Ilford — a respected English company that specializes in black-and-white film, paper, and darkroom products — as well as Kodak’s old nemesis, Fujifilm. That competition arguably shows a continuing demand for film.

In Rochester, there are other indicators of

film’s staying power.

Edgar Praus, owner of the Edgar G. Praus Productions photo lab near Village Gate, says that the last two years have been the busiest and best of his 30 years in business. He’s getting film processing and print orders from around the world, he says.

And while he says that he can’t pinpoint the number of film rolls and continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

sheets that he’s processed or prints that he’s made, he can quantify the added business in terms of time.

He used to spend five or six days a week at his shop, he says, staying open past 3 p.m. only by appointment. But now he’s there until 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. every day, he says, even on weekends.

Growing interest in film photography factors into the additional business, he says, but widespread lab closures also play a role.

The remaining film labs in Rochester include Praus’s business, Scott’s Photo, and Marian Early’s Custom Photographic Printing.

“There’s fewer of us, but then there’s more interest,” Praus says. “It certainly couldn’t support the number of labs that there used to be, but the number of labs that are left, they’re probably all doing quite well.”

Praus’s customers have also changed, he says. Fine art jobs have always been a staple of his business, he says, and he’s still getting a lot of orders in that area. But he’s receiving far less commercial work, such as advertising photography, he says.

Praus says that he’s also seen growth in black-and-white jobs, which he attributes to the better blacks, depth, and detail that traditional photo paper offers.

RIT’s Osterman agrees that fine art photography is an area where film remains popular. But he also talks to a lot of professional photographers, and he says that some in the advertising and editorial worlds still favor film, too.

Lucas Marchal’s first serious camera was a cumbersome digital system he bought about seven years ago, before a trip to Poland.

Three years later, Marchal had grown tired of hauling the clunky thing around and sold it. But his interest in photography endured, and soon he and his best friend found old Pentax film cameras that their fathers had owned.

“We started using them, making mistakes — not loading the film properly and all that — together,” he says.

Marchal, who’s from the Brittany region of France, really got hooked on film during the year he spent in England teaching French. He was in a new place, and there was a lot he wanted to photograph. He picked up a fully manual camera, and for the first time began shooting only film, which meant a lot of trial and error.

When his year was up and he returned to France, he set up a small darkroom in his apartment’s laundry room.

Marchal currently lives in Rochester and is a regular at the Genesee Center for the Arts and Education’s Community Darkroom. And he was part of a social reportage class this fall, documenting Bhutanese refugees living around Jones Park.

He says that he’s attracted to film photography for a couple of reasons. One is the process of taking a picture, developing the film, and making prints in a darkroom.

The other boils down to the challenges of working with film; photographers have to make do with whatever’s loaded in their cameras.

“I find working around the limits helps me be more creative,” Marchal says. “And I really love to be able to control the whole process from developing to printing.

It’s really something.”

Dining

Mamma Lucia's menu crosses borders, featuring influences from Bosnia, Germany, and Italy. You can find dishes like (left) baklava and (right) cevapi: spiced ground beef with lepina, kajmak, and onion.

The story behind the new restaurant Mamma Lucia reads like a romantic-comedy script. Boy meets girl in high school, date, but eventually break up and lose touch.

They reconnect 20 years later, get married, and open a restaurant together. This is the story of Senada and Orhan Pehlivanovic and Mamma Lucia, which opened in the Renaissance Apartments building (2500 East Avenue in Brighton) in January.

The Pehlivanovics are both from Bosnia.

Orhan owns a restaurant, also called Mamma Lucia, in Germany and has wanted to open a restaurant in Rochester since moving here three years ago. The couple became friendly with the owners of the Flour City Grill, which formerly occupied the space, and when Flour City decided to leave, Mamma Lucia in Rochester was born.

The menu contains a mixture of traditional Bosnian, German, and Italian fare. One of the Bosnian dishes, cevapi ($10) (pronounced cha-VA-pee) consists of links of ground beef that have been marinated in spices for 24 hours, sandwiched between homemade bread called lepina, a buttery flatbread, served with homemade sour cream (kajmak) and onions on the side.

The Bosnian influence also comes into play on the Mamma Lucia Meat Plate ($14), a plate full of cevapi, chicken breast, and veal,

served with lepina, sour cream, and fries.

“Everything is authentic and homemade,” says Senada.

And the recipes, she says, “are from moms and aunts.”

Orhan learned how to cook Italian food when he took over ownership of Mamma Lucia in Germany. The menu has standard Italian fare like chicken parmigiana ($12) and linguine alla Bolognese ($11). A traditional German dish on the menu, frikadelle ($12), consists of two meatballs stuffed with feta cheese and mushrooms and served over pasta with marinara sauce.

Specials will rotate daily at Mamma Lucia, and depending on the day of week, your meal’s soundtrack could be someone playing the piano or strumming a guitar.

Mamma Lucia is located at 2500 East Avenue in the Renaissance building on the corner of East Avenue and Penfield Road, and is open Tuesday through Thursday for dinner only, Friday and Saturday for lunch and dinner and Sunday for brunch.

“White Noise” also seems intentional irony for a band that’s always outfitted in a signature black and whose sound is anything but a background buzz.

It wouldn’t be fair to my everchanging musical moods if I were to have a favorite band, but Rochester’s St. Phillip’s Escalator comes damn close. The trio was barely out of its teens when it released “Endless Trip.” This excellent debut pleased as much as it confounded: where were teenagers getting hold of this kind of heavy? It was a solid sendup to the heavier, bluesier, psychedelic sounds of the late 1960’s. It called to mind the sonic hugeness of Blue Cheer, the hooky-pop of The Kinks with the chaos and vulgarity of The MC-5; it was friggin’ perfect.

Now, almost 10 years later, the boys are back with “Elevation”: a slightly more focused, yet equally heavy, six-song kick in the head. There’s just a touch more applied sophistication that comes out in layers. The songs are expertly crafted and were clearly honed before being given the SPE treatment. The brutality of Zachary Koch’s drums, the monstrous tone of the Ryan Moore’s guitar (just dig the voluptuous six-string work on “South 4th Street Blues”), the nimble thunder of Noel Wilfeard’s bass, topped off by Moore’s snotty racha-cha bleat: all burn hot and urgent. The record raves period correct but detours just before it gets clichéd. This ain’t no throwback, jack. All six tracks of this too-short platter were produced by the band; no outsiders telling it what to do. “Elevation” is a solid blast. If this were 1966, St. Phillip’s Escalator would have been one of the bands ripped off by the Stones.

Music Living legacy The Preservation Hall Jazz Band WITH THE ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13 AND 14 KODAK HALL, EASTMAN THEATRE 8 P.M. | $16-$95 | 454-2100 WWW.RPO.ORG | WEGMANS [ PREVIEW ] BY RON NETSKY

There is a great deal to preserve in New Orleans, the city that gave birth to jazz.

But by the early 1960’s, not much was being done to honor that heritage. That is until two young honeymooners showed up on their way back to Philadelphia from Mexico City.

Allan Jaffe had attended Valley Forge Military Academy on a music scholarship and played sousaphone in the marching band. After attending the University of Pennsylvania, he was working in management at Gimbels department store in Philly.

But he and his bride Sandra fell in love with The Big Easy and decided to settle there. It wasn’t long before they found themselves in the French Quarter at a parade.

“People don’t sit and watch parades in New Orleans, they participate,” says their son Ben Jaffe. “There’s a certain kind of parade, called a second line, where people follow and dance along with the band. My parents followed them back to an art gallery on St. Peter Street and met this incredible group of people who had converted this building from the 1700’s into a salon for artists, poets, and activists. It eventually became Preservation Hall.”

Ben’s father took a job at a department store in New Orleans, and his mom became a typesetter. At night they operated the hall and, in 1963, the veteran musicians who had been playing at jam sessions there became the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

The band plays two shows this preMardi Gras weekend at Kodak Hall. They’ll be joined by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra for the second half.

“The original band members were firstgeneration jazz pioneers,” says Jaffe, who took over the leadership and the tuba and bass chairs a few years after his father died in the late 1980’s. “The bass player, Papa John Joseph, worked alongside [legendary trumpeter] Benny Bolton in a barbershop.

16 CITY FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015

George Lewis was a mentor to Louis Armstrong. We’re talking about people who were members of Jelly Roll Morton’s band.”

With jazz festivals now held all over the world, it may be hard to imagine a time when this great American music was out of favor.

“In 1961 the music that was being performed in New Orleans, the music that started here, that grew out of a social need for entertainment, was still being played, but it was not being celebrated,” says Jaffe.

Through the 20th century, Jaffe notes, as jazz spread to major cities, greats like Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane took the music in new artistic directions.

“The musicians who remained in New Orleans were like the musicians of the Buena Vista Social Club in Cuba,” says Jaffe.

“These gentlemen had been responsible for a style of music, and that style had fallen out of fashion, so they simply fell on hard times. Then there was this resurgence of this community. The musicians of Preservation Hall were the preeminent practitioners of early New Orleans jazz. There was no Jelly Roll Morton touring.”

Jaffe recognizes other forces that helped keep the legacy alive: the Newport Folk Festival, Alan Lomax’s field recordings, Pete Seeger and the Weavers. The Civil Rights Movement also had a role.

“New Orleans jazz became a symbol of freedom, and a lot of songs we perform are spiritual songs that come directly out of the church,” says Jaffe.

Jaffe himself was immersed in the music from childhood on.

“One of the things New Orleans does well is embrace its traditions and honor its elder states-people,” says Jaffe. “There was never a moment where I said ‘I don’t want to play that old-time music; that’s what those old people do.’ It was more like honor and respect. At the same time I loved listening to Michael Jackson, Prince, hip-hop, world music, and classical.”

In recent years, Jaffe has expanded the range of settings the band plays in through collaborations with Tom Waits, Mos Def, The Blind Boys Of Alabama, and My Morning Jacket. My Morning Jacket’s leader, Jim James, co-produced the Preservation Hall band’s latest album.

“Jim is in many ways a beautiful amalgamation of styles of music and walks of life,” says Jaffe. “He’s someone I met after Hurricane Katrina who I connected with in a very deep musical way.”

“That’s It!” is the band’s first album featuring all original songs. Jaffe and others wrote with the intention of creating new repertoire for the band.

Still, the horn arrangements have a spontaneity reminiscent of the original New Orleans spirit.

“My style of writing is more in the tradition of the way I understand Charles Mingus wrote music, where he would write a chart that had the melody and the chord changes and then he would allow the musicians to use that as a road map and an opportunity to improvise,” says Jaffe. “With the musicians in the Preservation Hall Band, you just have to show them which direction the song is going in and they’ll take it from there.”

If purists have trouble with a new repertoire, Jaffe has an answer.

“What my parents did was capture a moment in time. You can’t go back and recreate that. Preservation Hall is a living and breathing cultural experience the way that New Orleans is, and for our traditions to be relevant and remain important and significant, it has to reflect the energy of today.”

Over the past 52 years, scores of New

Orleans musicians have cycled through the

band. The last decade was particularly difficult for them.

When Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, 80 percent of New Orleans was under water. Seven of eight band members lost their houses and all of their possessions.

“Everything that you own and you’ve worked for your entire life is gone,” says Jaffe. “It’s amazing, as a city, that we were able collectively to overcome something as devastating as that storm.”

Ten years later the band is stronger than ever, traveling the world, performing and doing educational outreach, including master classes and young-audience concerts.

If anyone doubts the universality of the music, Jaffe recalls a concert in a remote industrial city north of Bangkok, Thailand, where thousands of uniformed students were seated in a large auditorium.

“We started playing,” says Jaffe, “and they went crazy. It was like, this must be what it feels like to be The Beatles. They immediately got up and started dancing, and when we were done they rushed the stage. It was really a powerful experience for us.”

INDIE PUNK | SLINGSHOT DAKOTA

JAZZ | MARISSA MULDER

FOLK ROCK | THE FELICE BROTHERS

Hailing from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Slingshot Dakota formed in 2003 as a trio headed by front woman Carly Comando. The band’s current incarnation is that of an energetic keyboard-drums duo: Comando is joined by drummer Tom Patterson. With both Comando and Patterson sharing vocal duties, Slingshot Dakota’s interweaving male and female vocals and electric sound has drawn comparisons with other duos like Matt and Kim and Mates of State. Slingshot Dakota latest album, “Dark Hearts,” was released in 2012 off of Boston-based label Topshelf Records.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; covering the music of Tom Waits is like wrestling an alligator. If you do it right, you’ve got a new pair of shoes. Do it wrong and you’re dinner. Manhattan Cabaret chanteuse Marissa Mulder (like Holly Cole before her) has entered the arena that so many have attempted, and apparently Mulder has gotten the thumbs up from Waits fans and the glitterati. This is a gentle, jazzier interpretation, not a tribute or cover affair.

Mulder’s read should prove interesting to those used to Wait’s music served up with his cement truck bark, and it’ll be a nice intro into the man’s madness and genius for the newbies.

The Felice Brothers has come a long way from playing subway stops in New York. At times, the band will bring Bob Dylan-style folk to mind, summoning up vintage folk sounds with ease. But once they go electric, and you listen to the lyrics, you realize any Dylan sounds are merely a façade. The lyrics are odd, hilarious, and bordering on inappropriate at times (“Cherry Licorice” is all three). The folk is great, but the group really shines with its more bizarre material, a lot of which can be found on its 2014 release “Favorite Waitress.”

Slingshot Dakota plays with Department, Quarries, and Greenhouse Heart on Sunday, February 15, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $7-$9. bugjar.com; facebook.com/slingshotdakota.

Michael Taylor’s “Indivisible E Series #10” is part of a group show featuring contemporary studio glass artwork currently on view at Tower Fine Arts Gallery. PHOTO PROVIDED

Metamorphic metaphor “The Next: A Studio Glass Movement Continuum” THROUGH FEBRUARY 22 THE TOWER FINE ARTS GALLERY, 180 HOLLEY STREET, BROCKPORT MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 10 A.M. TO 5 P.M. AND SUNDAY, 1 TO 4 P.M. 395-5253 | BROCKPORT.EDU/FINEARTS [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The production of glass has shaped and sharpened human senses throughout history. Glass lenses have allowed us both to correct vision and glimpse the unfathomable depths of the universe.

And as an art medium, glass has been used to symbolize every comprehensible and confounding human experience.

“The Next: A Studio Glass Movement 22 CITY FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015

Continuum,” currently hosted at The College at Brockport’s Tower Fine Arts Gallery, showcases the work of 17 contemporary glassmakers who push the medium’s physical and philosophic properties in fascinating directions.

“The Next” is curated by glass artist Eunsuh Choi, who is an adjunct faculty member at Brockport and senior instructor at the Rochester Arc and Flame Center. Examples of Choi’s intricate adornments and sculptures are present in wall-mounted cases just outside of the gallery space. In one of the otherworldly neckpieces, which are seemingly meant for only the most graceful of wearers, countless glass tendrils frame a collar around spindly ladders set among puffy, blown-glass clouds.

Equally alien, and strange in its modern/nostalgic twist of materials, is Sarah Blood’s “Continuing Without.” A

glowing glass hoop is covered in crochet and framed in an antique display cabinet.

The fragile “O”-shaped tube, filled with argon and lit by a hidden electrical source, floats atop vintage fabric, dull by comparison to the pale green-blue light that permeates its woven prison.

The work evokes a feeling of distilled endlessness, and certainly projects an eerie presence within the space. Blood’s work often juxtaposes the density of such materials as wood, concrete, and clay with the “perceived fragility” of glass, inert gas, and light. In this piece, the cooperative effects of the delicate glass and gas dominate the work, while the seemingly more substantial elements of hardwood and beautiful brass detailing catch our attention later.

A black and white video piece of Karen Donnellan’s performance, “O,” mirrors the serene, near-mystical feeling in Blood’s work, and also provides an audible counterpart for the visual power of Blood’s sculpture in the gallery. In the performance, recorded in a “process film as a vehicle for meditation,” periodic chimes sound over metallic murmurs (“Sacred Solfeggio tones”), while Donnellan’s hands make repetitive motions over a variety of studio materials. The whole of it is mesmerizing, but most hypnotically so when her fingertips carve an unceasing circle in wet and pliable plaster.

Michael Taylor’s transfixing work often seems impossible. He plays with illusion, seamlessly combining geometry and color to present portal-like forms that are allusions to the abstractions in Platonic philosophy. The provided artist statement in the exhibition catalog explains the ideas behind Taylor’s two works in this show: “This ancient theory asserts the existence of abstract objects, existing in a third realm distinct both from the sensible external world and from the internal world of consciousness.”

In Taylor’s “Indivisible E Series #10,” intersecting discs, semi-circle, and triangular forms seem simple enough, but the play of refracting light through the interacting colors add something slippery, not-entirely-knowable, to the object. Shadows and reflected light are as important a component in the work as its carefully balanced colors and solid forms, and all shapeshift ponderously as we move around the piece.

In Taylor’s “Infinity Plug,” a series of clear glass rectangles are stacked, each

decreasing in size and slightly rotated.

From the outside, the object is covered in sharp points, but by looking at the largest rectangle head-on, we experience the illusion of gazing into the spiraling tunnel of a vortex.

William Gudenrath’s two works, “Maximum” and “Minimum,” are each expert executions of the opposite ends of a visual spectrum, and together truly show off his glassblowing prowess. Each is an impossibly thin-walled tall and narrow vessel, looking as though a single breath would destroy it. The former is blooming with texture and fanciful flora, while the latter is a sleek, streamlined dream.

An interest in the human impulse to gather and display novel objects informs Robin Cass’s works, which often resemble oversized botanical or zoological specimens. Cass urges a striking level of texture and detail in each piece, meant to suggest luscious flora from afar and suggest sentience upon closer examination. This is achieved through fabricating elements that resemble sensory organs: the cluster of silvery bulbs in “Ocular Cladanthus” indeed seem like the primitive eyeballs of dim-dwelling fauna.

Jennifer Hecker’s two industrial works are flawlessly constructed, and her poignant message is immediately clear.

The oxidized iron and steel box frame of “Drain Shelf #7” has three shelves contained within it, and the top and bottom shelves each feature large circular holes. In the central shelf, flameworked glass droplets — metaphors for memory — are suspended in the multiple holes in a metal plate.

The work is symbolic of our inability to hold onto what is ephemeral and transient, which is here frozen in an eternal progression toward an unknowable oblivion, represented by the opening below. The surreal and suspenseful stasis lends a sense of dearness to those crystalline drops.

Something about the arrested moment in this work, this distilled slipping-away, reminds me of Keats’ poem, “Ode on a Grecian Urn.” Hecker’s sculpture is both a lament of loss and a celebration of the purity and wonder of having experienced this strange human existence at all.

COMEDY | JAY LENO

After ending a two-decade dominance of late-night Nielsen ratings behind the desk in NBC’s “Tonight Show,” Jay Leno continues to operate in the periphery of the spotlight with seemingly relentless energy. He writes for Popular Mechanics, hosts a show about his vast car collection, and still appears in both live-action and voice-over credits in a variety of TV shows and movies. All of these are in addition to an extensive stand-up comedy tour – which is making a stop in Rochester this Friday. For fans who miss this classic host, this is an opportunity watch him wisecrack in person, without the trappings of a studio format. If you’re going, plan on using the restroom before his 8 p.m. start: He has been known to tell rapid-fire, non-stop jokes for upwards of an hour and a half. But who is surprised? With 22 years of primetime experience, he could probably riff into the wee hours without running out of guffaw-worthy jokes.

Jay Leno will perform on Friday, February 13, at the Auditorium Theatre, 885 East Main Street. 8 p.m. $59-$128. rbtl.org.

24 CITY FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015

Las Vegas Contemporary Dance Theater, a repertory company known for its passionate, diverse, and highly athletic dancing, is performing at Nazareth College Arts Center on Valentine’s Day. This is a company that embraces many styles of dance, but LVCDT’s Nazareth program will emphasize neoclassical ballet, which utilizes classical ballet vocabulary while working within less rigid boundaries – contemporary and jazz.

Artistic director and co-founder Bernard H. Gaddis stressed LVCDT’s humanistic bent when speaking with City last week.

“Our dances are about real life,” he said.

“Real people. They speak to love, loss, and betrayal. Audiences should be going through

a whole array of emotions when they are in a theater. They should go on a journey.”

Gaddis is a man who has journeyed to the top of his field. A highly accomplished and distinctive dancer, he choreographs a large percentage of his company’s works. At 15, he became the youngest male dancer ever to be asked to join Philadelphia Dance Company.

He was awarded scholarships to, among others, Dance Theater of Harlem and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, where he performed as a principal dancer for seven years. He was a lead dancer in Broadway’s “Lion King,” choreographed by Rochester’s Garth Fagan, and has had ballets created or recreated for him to perform by Ailey, Fagan, Judith Jamison, Jerome Robbins, and Ulysses Dove, to name a few. Currently, he is also a principal dancer and choreographer for Cirque Du Soleil’s Las Vegas shows “Zumanity” and “Mystère.”

The dancers in his company complement each other with a host of varied backgrounds, along with a slew of accomplishments and qualifications. Members have appeared on the popular television shows “America’s Got Talent” and “Dancing With the Stars.”

Others have performed for Cirque Du Soleil in Las Vegas. Many have classical ballet

backgrounds. Gaddis credits them all with working to convey his vision.

“As I go forward in my artistry, I’m finding I have more and more of my own voice and energy,” he said. “The dancers adapt to my type of energy and the way that I move. As I grow as a choreographer and my voice changes, they adapt. That stamps our identity as a company.”

LVCDT is the first non-profit, contemporary dance company in Las Vegas. As a repertory company, it is dedicated to preserving and presenting the work of generations of artists, choreographers, and teachers. The dancers also focus on showcasing emerging talent in a broad spectrum of dance styles. And in its quest to bridge cultural divides, the company is involved in outreach programs to benefit at-risk youth.

Now in its eighth year, the 14-member company performs the work of a wide array of artists, including Ulysses Dove, Elisa Monte, and Jamal Story. The Nazareth program, however, will be all Gaddis. The company will be dancing three pieces he choreographed, and Gaddis will be soloing in a fourth.

“Solstice,” created by him three years ago, seems well suited for wintery Rochester. In this 28-minute work with music by George Winston, dancers depict creatures in the forest on the night of the winter solstice.

“During that quiet, moonlit time, when, perhaps, the snow is undisturbed, the dancers take on a deer, a rabbit, a snow leopard, a Mother Nature figure,” Gaddis described. “The mood of each section leads to how I feel an animal moves.”

“Brethren” (2001), also on the program, sounds beautiful and solemn as well.

Gaddis will perform a short excerpt, “Gabriel Sorrow,” from this all-male, neo-classical ballet based on the Biblical character Enoch and his fall from grace.

Music is by Hans Zimmer.

Gaddis’s other two pieces will offer a change in energy and tempo. “Take 5” will be a world premiere of a 24-minute ballet about relationships, with costumes inspired by the Harlem Renaissance and music by Nick Waterhouse, Leela James, Melody Gardot, and Booker T and the MG’s.

“It’s a saucy ballet,” Gaddis told City.

“Hot, fun and spicy.”

“Mood Indigo (Mood Azul),” with music by Dave Brubeck, Hipnosis and Marc Frank, and Gaddis himself, will be the sole jazz piece of the night. This work highlights the company’s high-speed technical ability, plus it’s upbeat and sexy.

A great way to end the night.

KIDS | “TRIVIAL PURSUIT: A 50 STATE ADVENTURE”

Opening just in time for school break, the Strong National Museum of Play is debuting a new exhibit that explores cool facts from each of the 50 states. Designed in the style of the iconic Trivial Pursuit game by Hasbro, the exhibit contains dozens of interactive stations designed to spark curiosity.

While the exhibit will run through the end of May and includes tidbits from all 50 states, this week’s opening celebration has a more local focus. Children (and the young at heart) will have a chance to learn about the Finger Lakes Region’s odd geography, answer trivia questions on a giant magnetic Rochester map, and test their knowledge of the 50 states and capitals. Take this break from desk-and-paper learning to engage young bodies and minds in a different way.

(The exhibit is up through May 10). 1 Manhattan Square.

DRINKS | CRAFT BREW, ZOMBIES, AND ICE

Craft beer enthusiasts are known for prizing quality over quantity in the search for the best Belgians and most elusive IPAs. Small-batch suds-seekers will find volume AND quality at Main Street Armory’s new “Craft Beer and Spirits Experience,” which will feature 20-plus craft breweries and 50-plus different beers, including offerings from Lake Placid, Harpoon, Great Lakes, Three Heads, and Southern Tier Brewery. Admission to the expo includes a startling trip through the Armory’s zombie-themed haunted house, which will be open simultaneously; however, anyone interested in the Haunted House has to check it out before imbibing.

The craft beer expo is on Friday, February 13, at the Main Street Armory. 900 East Main Street. House of Horrors opens at 6 p.m. Beer tasting starts at 7 p.m. $35-$60 ($10 for designated drivers). mainstreetarmory.com If refined wine is more your speed, consider the New York Ice Wine and Culinary Festival (pictured) in Fairport.

SPECIAL EVENT | ROC AWARDS 2015

For the third year running, Rochester will honor the achievements of its own in a cross-disciplinary awards show. Khadija Yawn and Yolanda Smilez, the architects of the first Roc Awards show in 2013, wanted an outlet to recognize members of the urban community who have made momentous contributions to their fields. The event has been wildly successful in both its iterations for obvious reasons: there are so many in Rochester to celebrate. Artists will receive awards in performance, music, fashion, the arts, production, beauty, drama, and entrepreneurship, but some unique niches will also be highlighted: best barber, best T-shirt line, and best makeup artist. More than 1,500 guests are expected; last year’s show sold out and turned 400 away, so get tickets early.

The 3rd Annual Roc Awards will be held on Sunday, February 15, at the Kodak Center for Performing Arts, 200 West Ridge Road. 6 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. $20-$50. kodakcenter. org/shows; rocawards.com. — BY JONATHAN MEAD

Film Previews on page 30

None of us like to think about the experience of living with disease, but Alzheimer’s in particular seems to make people uneasy – though it’s not hard to see why. The distress of being not only a prisoner to genetics, but feeling our mind slip away from us as memories, our awareness, and eventually even the faces of our loved ones fade, likely forever: It’s frightening to consider.

The situation seems so nightmarish that a film that attempts to depict the experience with any honesty would by definition have to be a horror film. But there’s a fine line separating a sincere (and sincerely frightening) depiction of illness and the latest Lifetime movie of the week. And thanks in large part to a monumentally strong lead performance from Julianne Moore, “Still Alice” stays on the right side of that line.

Moore stars as Alice Howland, a respected professor of linguistics at Columbia University.

When she’s troubled by instances of what appears to be brief memory loss – a word eludes her while delivering a lecture, she suddenly feels lost and disoriented when out for a run on campus – she makes an appointment to see a neurologist.

Though she’s barely 50 years old, the doctor diagnoses Alice with earlyonset Alzheimer’s, a rare and extremely aggressive form of the ultimately debilitating disease.

Being a woman whose identity is so defined by her intellect, Alice finds it especially difficult to accept her diagnosis, and she

WE’RE ALL ABOUT THE TWEETS twitter.com /roccitynews

develops ingenious little systems for herself that allow her to hide the symptoms as long as possible.

She’s gifted with an expert’s understanding of neurology and how people process language, but that blessing also gives her the unfortunate capability to understand exactly what’s happening to her as it happens. And the film does an impeccable job conveying exactly how truly frightening that must feel.

Obviously, she does eventually tell her family: first her husband, John (Alec Baldwin), then their son (Hunter Parrish) and two grown daughters, Anna (Kate Bosworth) and Lydia (Kristen Stewart). Married and expecting, Anna has always been the more put-together of the bunch, but she doesn’t deal well with her mother’s illness. Meanwhile, Lydia, whose decision to forgo schooling in order to pursue being an actress in Los Angeles has long put her at odds with Alice, discovers untapped reservoirs of strength, stepping up when others falter.

Throughout, “Still Alice” avoids painting its protagonist as an angelic, saint-like victim: Alice can be stubborn, and early on we see that she’s not above using the disease as an excuse to avoid dinner parties or to get her way during minor marital spats.

There’s a certain shame she feels in her condition, how it changes her and the way she’s seen by those around her. Faced with the constant sense that pieces of her are gradually slipping away, she knows that there will certainly be a point when there will be little of herself left. Still, she remains fiercely determined not to lose sight of her identity, fighting

Creatures of habit “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” (NR), DIRECTED BY ANA LILY AMIRPOUR OPENS FRIDAY AT THE LITTLE

“Mommy” (R), DIRECTED BY XAVIER DOLAN NOW PLAYING AT PITTSFORD CINEMA [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

to retain her dignity and continuing to live on her own terms as much as possible.

Moore is characteristically great, giving a performance that ranks among the best of her career. She plays Alice with a restraint that’s rare (and quite welcome) to find in this type of picture.

Moore justifiably earned an Oscar nomination for her work, and if the buzz from Oscar pundits is to be believed, she’ll likely be ascending to the Academy’s podium come March.

The casting of Baldwin makes it clear from the get-go that John won’t be the typical movie partner whose role is to demonstrate stoic strength while receding into the background. And though Stewart has a fairly spotty track record as an actress, she gets a chance to prove naysayers (me among them) wrong by delivering a performance of quiet strength that easily matches that of her co-stars.

The film doesn’t linger unnecessarily over the messy details of Alzheimer’s disease, but keeps us acutely aware of its unyielding progression. With no option but to depict its character’s steady decline, there’s no real surprise about where the film is headed. Writer-directors Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland (adapting the novel by Lisa Genova) give the proceedings an unadorned, unobtrusive style that demonstrates sensitivity without tipping things over into false melodrama (though a few scenes veer dangerously close to feeling like an Alzheimer’s PSA). If it doesn’t quite reach the sort of stark, devastating power of “Amour” or “Away From Her,” it’s more than capable of putting audiences though the emotional wringer.

The uniquely haunting aesthetic of the genre-bending “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night,” from writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour, is perfectly encapsulated in one glorious shot. As the alluring girl of the film’s title (an honest-to-God vampire) glides down the middle of the street on a skateboard, arms outstretched, chador flapping behind her like a cape (or bat wings), her body comes to completely fill the frame — it’s an indelible image in a film that’s loaded with them. The logline promises a “feminist Iranian vampire western,” and that’s a fairly accurate description for this atmospheric film, though it’s first and foremost an artful exercise in style.

Set in a seedy, fictional city in Iran (though actually filmed in California), the film’s loose plot centers on its handsome James Dean-esque leading man, Arash

Anne Dorval and Antoine-Olivier Pilon in “Mommy.” PHOTO COURTESY ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS

(Arash Marandi). Early on, Arash is forced to give up his 50’s-era Thunderbird to pay off the debt of his heroin-addicted father (Marshall Manesh) when the tattooed neighborhood drug dealer (Dominic Rains) comes to collect. Searching for a way to earn back his prized possession, Arash finds himself turning to some unsavory activities.

Watching everything is the unnamed bloodsucker (the captivating Sheila Vand, “Argo”), credited only as “The Girl.”

Stalking through the night, The Girl acts as a sort of avenging angel targeting those who transgress her own moral boundaries (however blurry they may be), with a particular penchant for punishing the sins of men who prey on women. She approaches Arash on his way home from a party. Dressed up as Dracula, and whacked out on ecstasy, she finds him intriguing enough to bring back to her apartment, and the two strike up a tentative romance.

Visually arresting, with moody blackand-white cinematography, Amirpour invests “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” with a laconic, dreamy tone in the vein of Jim Jarmusch and David Lynch.

Though the film goes on a bit too long to sustain its rather thin plot (a tighter script with a bit more momentum would have helped matters), it’s hard to complain much about a film with a vision that feels this strikingly original.

Wunderkind French-Canadian director

Xavier Dolan is one of those people whose career can’t help but make you feel inadequate about how much you’ve managed to accomplish with your life.

Only 25 years old, Dolan has already directed five feature films, every one of which has premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. His first film, the semiautobiographical “I Killed My Mother,” received only a small release in the states, though it did screen in Rochester at the ImageOut Film Festival in 2010. Dolan’s latest feature, “Mommy” acts as a sort of companion piece to that film. Whereas the

previous film focused on a fraught motherson relationship with a bias toward the contemptuous offspring, here the director’s sympathies are much more aligned with the object of that maternal disdain as it depicts the intense (borderline incestuous) relationship between widowed mother Diane (Anne Dorval) and her mercurial teenage son, Steve (Antoine-Olivier Pilon).

The story is set in an alternate Canada in which parents can commit their troubled teenagers to a state institution if raising them proves too difficult. As the film opens, Steve’s violently aggressive behavior has gotten him kicked out of the juvenile detention center where he’s been living, and released back into his mother’s custody. Already struggling to make ends meet, it’s an added burden Diane can barely afford to take on.

Dissatisfied with her own home life, a timid neighbor, Kyla (Suzanne Clément), allows herself to be drawn into the pair’s orbit, becoming a confidant to Diane and a tutor for Steve. The three form a tight unit, though it might not be enough to save them when destructive impulses constantly threaten to ruin everything they’ve built. As one social service worker warns Diane early on, “Loving people doesn’t save them.”

Formally inventive, “Mommy” is shot in a 1:1 aspect ratio, making the film look like an Instagram photo come to life. Meant to make the audience feel as boxed in as the film’s characters, that decision might have felt gimmicky in less capable hands, but Dolan turns it into an effective tool. When combined with the restrictive framing and heightened emotions, the film’s hyperactive pace can be overwhelming, but also exhilarating.

I wish Dolan would find himself a more ruthless editor — the director has a history of indulgence when it comes to the length of his films — but the breadth does allow ample time for his actors to shine. By its nature, Pilon’s performance feels like a lot of adolescent posturing, but he always makes it compelling. Dorval and Clément, on the other hand, are nothing short of luminous.

becoming the youngest photographer to ever hold the job. His work has also appeared in photo-heavy magazines such as Vanity Fair and GQ. Dukovic shoots exclusively in film.

“The way I think about it is a painter has a palette that he or she works from,” Osterman says. “And the palette that’s available in film photography is not exactly the same as the palette that’s available in digital photography. So there’s subtleties that are different that these photographers prefer to continue to work with.”

For Praus, who is also an experienced photographer, film is about craft. It takes time to learn how to craft a compelling image, he says, and it takes time to learn how to make a good darkroom print.

But the payback exceeds the instant gratification offered by digital, he says.

And that is why film will endure and thrive, he says.

“There’s darkroom magic,” Praus says.

“There’s just that thrill of being in the darkroom and watching the image come up. You just can’t beat that with this computer stuff.” 

“I like the fact that these prints are made by hand. They don’t pop out of a machine.

They’re not perfect.”

RICHARD MARGOLIS

continues from page 10

Richard Margolis Richard Margolis has been a film photographer for 50 years.

Tradition has a lot to do with that choice. He says that he wants to honor the photographers who influenced him, and to celebrate their work and methods. And that means working with a big, tripod-mounted view camera, which uses 4-inch by 5-inch sheets of film.

But the process and the results are important to him, he says. The big camera is slow but precise; it makes him stop and think about the image he’s making before he releases the shutter. There is no firing off tens of clicks in a matter of seconds, as a highend digital camera could.

In Margolis’s art, prints are the important end product. The large blackand-white film negatives from his camera allow him to make large, detailed, highquality prints; his frequent subjects include trees, landmarks, parks, public art, and bridges.

And he’s making those prints in his darkroom, which is located in a building near Village Gate. His images can’t exist until his “struggled through the darkroom process,” he says.

“I like the fact that these prints are made by hand,” he says. “They don’t pop out of a machine. They’re not perfect.”

But Margolis hasn’t shunned digital entirely. Everything he does for clients — he photographs artwork and does architectural photography — is digital.

“It has to be,” he says. “It’s in color, they want to send it by e-mail to 30 CITY FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015

somebody; it makes no sense to do a project like that on film.”

He’s also used digital for two books he’s finishing up, including one on Rochester landmarks.

“I used to feel threatened by digital,” Margolis says. “I felt like I wasn’t keeping up with advances. I now think that I’m better off working the way I am. I like the quality of what I’m doing.”

As part of his process, Richard Margolis uses a view camera loaded with 4-inch by 5-inch sheets of film.

The 2,789 square feet listing includes the finished third-floor bedroom and four bedrooms on the second floor. The large attic has room for yet another finished room, perhaps to be used as a study or home office. The full bath on the second floor has been remodeled.

The outside of this 1904 home is clad in shake shingles and is painted a warm pumpkin color, trimmed in the “painted lady” fashion in a darker shade of the same hue – a color-scheme that fits right into the neighborhood. An unusual feature of this home is the small room attached to the two-car garage; it would be ideal as a playhouse or workshop.

The original front door, framed by oval windows, opens into a tiled foyer. The foyer opens to the large hallway with doorways to the living room and the dining room. Leading to the second floor from the hallway is the dramatic,

wide, carpeted stairway, with a landing brightened by leaded glass windows.

The dining room has a wood-burning fireplace flanked by bookshelves over which hang colorful stained glass windows, reported to have come from the Powers Building in downtown Rochester.

A porch off the living room, a second floor porch off one of the bedrooms, and a private, treed backyard add plenty of outdoor living space to an already spacious home.

Located just one block from Park Avenue, 77 Calumet is part of the ABC Streets Neighborhood, reflecting the street names, Audubon, Beverly, Calumet, Darwin, Ericsson, Faraday, Girard, and Homer. The not-for-profit ABC Association was formed in 1986; among its many activities is the maintenance of Morrison Park at the corner of Culver and Harvard Streets. The association also publishes a page titled “Contractors We Like” on its website and sponsors an annual Halloween Parade and a Garden Walk. Exploring their website at abcstreets.org is a quick way to see the varied programs of this active neighborhood organization.

To find out if 77 Calumet is the right home for your family contact Lisa Bolzner of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-415-3919. The house has a list price of $274,900.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Good Ol’ Boy

A miles-long traffic jam on Interstate 20 near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Jan. 25 and on into the next morning was caused by an 18-wheeler that jackknifed and overturned when the 57-year-old driver took his hands off the wheel to pull out a tooth with his fingers. Efforts to haul the truck from the roadside required an hours-long detour of traffic off of the interstate. (The driver’s mission was successful; he had the tooth in his pocket when rescued.)

Unclear on the Concept

— Luis Moreno Jr., 26, was pursued by police in Fort Lee, New Jersey, after he entered the carpool lane approaching the George Washington Bridge in January because he appeared to be alone in his SUV. After ignoring several signals to pull over, he finally stopped and, when informed of his offense, told the officer, “I have two passengers in the back” and rolled down a window to show them (in the vehicle’s third row), apparently satisfying the officer. However, as Moreno pulled away, one passenger began screaming and banging on the back door.

Moreno sped off with his hostages, but was subsequently stopped again and charged with kidnapping and criminal restraint (but no HOV violation!).

— Mike Montemayor, until recently a county commissioner in Laredo, Texas, pleaded guilty to bribery charges in June and had argued in January 2015 that he should get a light sentence because, after all, he had subsequently helped FBI agents in a sting against three other officials accused of bribery. However, the prosecutor immediately countered that

Montemayor had in fact tried to steal the recording devices and Apple computer the FBI had furnished him to do the undercover work. (He got six years in prison and a $109,000 fine.)

Compelling Explanations

— Lame: (1) Briton Roberto Collins, 51, was sentenced to 13 months in jail

by Manchester Crown Court in January after being caught standing on a ladies’ room toilet and peering into the next stall. He told police he stood up only to better scratch an itch and was in the ladies’ room only because, wearing faulty glasses, he thought it was the men’s room. (2) Scotsman Dean Gilmartin, 25, actually persuaded a judge at Perth Sheriff Court in January of his “innocence” — that he might not have been masturbating at the front window of his home. He admitted he was nude (changing clothes), but pointed out that he plays musical instruments and was probably just picking out tunes on his ukulele (rather than “holding” his genitals and moving “side to side,” as a neighbor had charged).

— Explanation for Child-Porn Possession Never Before Heard: Poet Les Merton, 70, denied in January that he had ever abused children, but had a more difficult time explaining why a child-porn website had his credit card information. Merton holds the appointed title of Cornish bard in Cornwall, England, and is the author of the Official Encyclopedia of the Cornish Pasty — and explained in Truro Crown Court that he must have mindlessly entered his credit card information while researching the 19thcentury Russian figure Rasputin.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 33 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Showing a little emotion can be a good thing if it’s directed affectionately. Love will flourish if you are upfront and open about the way you feel and what you want.

The partner who can match your bravado will be the one for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone is watching your every move. A secret admirer is searching for a way to approach you. If you are too outgoing or appear to be indulgent, you are likely to miss out on an opportunity to be with someone who has something special to offer you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be careful what you wish for when it

comes to love. Someone is likely to fill your head with all sorts of promises that will never come to pass. Don’t give in to sweet talk when actions are required.

If someone appears to be too perfect, take a closer look.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll find love when you least expect it and in the most unlikely place. Don’t walk away from a situation that is intimidating.

Don’t let possessiveness and jealousy stand between you and the chance to be with someone who has the potential to fulfill your personal dreams.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Being generous is fine, but you cannot

buy love. Use alternative methods to attract the one you love. A walk in the park or just sharing thoughts over a cup of java will ensure that the person you are interested in is into you and not what you have.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make a commitment to the person you want to be with, or walk away. You will be in a door-die situation when it comes to love if you waffle. Show how much you care, and you will get the response you are looking for.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Talk matters over. Don’t feel obligated to make a quick decision when it comes to

affairs of the heart. Getting out and taking part in something you believe in will lead to an interesting encounter with someone you want to get to know better.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love is in the stars, and an unusual relationship will develop with someone just as interesting and unique as you. Temper your jealous tendency and give the object of your desire as much freedom as you can to help build a long and trusting relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Observation will be your best friend when it comes to romance. Get the lowdown on

someone of interest before you decide to make your move. What you see and what you get will lead to confusion. Don’t make premature promises that you will live to regret.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Slow down and enjoy the moment. Someone you like is worth waiting for. You can share your ideas and plans for the future, but give whomever you desire enough space to recognize how great you are and how good you can be together.

Time is on your side.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Past experience will help you when it comes to love and

romance. Someone you have always had a thing for or dated but the timing wasn’t right will give you a chance to explore what you can achieve as a couple. Make your move, and don’t look back.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): An affectionate, giving and passionate approach to the people around you coupled with your dedication to your beliefs and traditions will attract someone who is heading in the same direction as you.

The intentions and life goals you share will lead to a longlasting commitment.
