Dana Gluckstein photographs the soul with international impact
Artist photographs indigenous people, curates exhibition of work spanning nearly three decades
By Emily Passarelli
September 11, 2015 | 12:45am EDT
Dana Gluckstein is a photographer, author, Stanford graduate and mother. She has photographed a handful of notable world leaders including Muhammad Ali, Mikhail Gorbachev and Nelson Mandela. She has also worked with Apple and Toyota on advertising campaigns.
In November 2010, she published "DIGNITY: In Honor of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples," a book containing over 90 black-and-white portraits compiled from three decades of work. In 2011, the portraits in her book became an international exhibition. Beginning Sept. 10, this exhibition, "DIGNITY: Tribes in Translation," is on display at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs.
Gluckstein sat down with The Herald to discuss her passion for photography and the campaigns she leads in association with her exhibitions in an attempt to make change for indigenous peoples.
You mention in a short documentary film on your exhibit that through photography, you hope to find someone's soul. Can you talk a little more about what you mean?
That's a good question. My background at Stanford, and also high school, was in psychology. In fact, I thought I was going to be a psychologist and go on to grad school. But the fine arts in me kind of went out, and I decided my senior year at Stanford to become a photographer.
But my instinctual character is to go deeply with people. I've always wanted to work with people. It was very clear, as I transitioned to a photographer, that I wanted to portrait people rather than the environment or products, and I wanted to really connect with people.
So the Hasselblad camera that I still use with real film is a deep way to connect because it's a large camera, it's heavy, you can't hide it in the distance, you have to really be there with your subject, and the interaction can be rich. The photography is a gateway into the soul because we connect with the eyes, and the eyes are always in expression of the heart and our humanity.
The exchange in a beautiful portrait session, it is like a circle, almost like a circle of love. There is a sense of unity with the camera, and in fact I work with the same camera that I acquired when I was 21, and I love her. She's a part of me.
The title of your exhibit is "DIGNITY: Tribes in Transition." Can you unpack this title for me?
Let me start with the transition part first. The "Dignity" book, which came first, is a collection of over 100 portraits that were created over 25 years of my life. The exhibition that has been touring Europe and now the United States is 60 portraits that come from that book. Some are actually new and showing at the Brown exhibition.
What I found after decades of travel is that places all over the planet were going through major transitions. I would arrive in some places early on expecting only the traditional, or what was in my imagination. And I would find instead, for example, in Bhutan, a little boy wearing the traditional little outfit called "gho" holding a toy rifle, wearing old Adidas shoes, crouched in a monastery. There would be that strange juxtaposition of the sacred with the modern and the influence of Western culture, and I would see that over and over again. And so the content of "Tribes in Transition" became a predominant theme in the work, and I always knew that the book and then the exhibition would be called "Dignity." It just was very clear that my point of view as an artist was in showing the dignity of serenity, not necessarily the poverty or the tragedy, but to really show our sense of unity, our interconnectedness.
There are no boundaries in the world. And indigenous people have understood this for millennia. They walk very closely to the land, to the resources, to the air we breathe. They understand a sense of interconnectedness, not only to each other, but with nature. And so that weaves back to understanding the "dignity" of our world. Not only of humanity, but of how precious our world is.
How did you decide where to travel to find the indigenous people you photographed?
In the early days, I would be sent on advertising photoshoots. In my early 20s, I was working in advertising as a photographer and I was very fortunate to have some companies send me to different parts of the world to photograph campaigns for them. There I would see, for example, a Silicon Valley computer company, and I would be sent to Puerto Rico to work in a factory and photograph people and what they were doing and I would say, "Wow, here I am, and I have all of my equipment. Maybe I can take a few days off and go to Haiti." And that's what I did. And then months later, I was sent to England to photograph members of the British army for another computer ad campaign. The flights were inexpensive, and I went to Nairobi and stayed in Kenya for a few weeks. I was really on fire during this time — driven by my heart. And over time, a body of work started to grow, and I had to stop and think about why I was so drawn to photographing indigenous people. That was toward my mid-to-late 20s, and I felt that my life mission was to be somebody who could steward the messages and voices of the elders, or what I call the "ancient ones." It was then that I really started selecting the places I wanted to go, the ones that I felt still had people living in their traditional ways, but places that you could also see were in transition.
Why black-and-white portraits?
That goes back to your very first question on soul. As a student at Stanford, I fell in love with black and white. That was in the era when we didn't have digital. I felt that it was very soulful, that it took me and the viewer to a place that color didn't, largely because I worked in advertising and in our world, we are so bombarded by images in color. Color is everywhere. And black and white is transformative because we have to use our imagination. For me, it is the color of choice.
Did you begin this project with intent three decades ago, or did you work on other projects in the interim?
Never could I have imagined that this work would become decades later an internationally known book and exhibition, that I would go to the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. I think that is my message to Brown students. You must set off on your course because you feel passionate about it. And you cannot always anticipate where it is going to take you because if you do, you would never set off on that course because it would feel too daunting.

A rare inscription on a strip of gold, found as part of the Staffordshire Hoard, is from the Bible, new research has discovered.
In the first issue of The Mediaeval Journal, published by the University of St Andrews, Elisabeth Okasha, Professor Emerita and Acting Director of the Language Centre at the University College Cork, Ireland, suggests the quotation may demonstrate religion was carried out by the people and not dominated by church leaders.
Although there are many religious inscriptions on the 250 Anglo-Saxon objects which have already been discovered, just 16 are accurate biblical quotations. And just two, before the Staffordshire strip, are from the Old Testament.
The preference for quotations from the New Testament, Psalms and paraphrased passages, indicates that the inscriptions may have been made by those taking part in religious ceremonies rather than church leaders.
Professor Okasha says: "Some interesting questions remain, probably the most striking being, why do so few Anglo-Saxon inscriptions contain a biblical text?
"The paucity of biblical quotation in the inscriptions seems particularly surprising in view of the involvement of the Anglo-Saxon church in literacy and learning, especially in Latin learning, and in the translation of at least some parts of the bible from Latin into Old English.
The new international scholarly journal, The Mediaeval Journal, is based in the university's Institute of Mediaeval Studies and published in partnership with leading European academic press, Brepols.
It is run by General Editors Dr Margaret Connolly and Dr Ian Johnson of the School of English and Dr James Palmer of the School of History.
The first issue also includes an article by Professor Tony Hunt, a former member of the French Department in St Andrews, recently retired from Oxford University.
Its aim is to be a cross-disciplinary journal.
Ian Johnson, General Editor, said: "The Mediaeval Journal is in the powerful position of being able to draw on an Editorial Board of over thirty specialists from within St Andrews and across the globe.
"Mediaeval Studies, in which St Andrews is an undisputed world leader, is a large, vibrant, and fast-growing field –in both research and teaching.
"But whereas contemporary mediaevalists are of necessity interdisciplinary, the journals available to them are, with too few exceptions, generally restricted to single disciplines, such as History, Art History, or Languages.
The Staffordshire hoard of Anglo-Saxon treasure was discovered in the English county in July 2009.
The hoard of more than three thousand objects, from jewelled sword hilts to crosses, buckles and helmet fragments also contained several garnet-inlaid gold strips including one with an inscription.

New Guilford County Sheriff Danny Rogers has promised all kinds of changes for the Guilford County Sheriff's Department – but one of those changes will be very visible right away: the new uniform policy.
Guilford County officials were hoping to have the kiddie train at Northeast Park up and running in time for the Christmas festivities at the park, but that is not to be once again this year.
High Point is known as the furniture capital of the world – not the restaurant capital – but a slew of new restaurant announcements and openings on North Main Street in High Point may have city leaders rethinking that title.
The Piedmont Triad Partnership, a regional economic development group with a goal of promoting a 12-county area in central North Carolina including Guilford County, laid out its "Carolina Core" regional branding effort in August, and now it's gearing up for a big rollout of the initiative meant to draw a lot of attention to the central part of the state.
On Thursday, Dec. 6, the all-important 911 emergency call system in Guilford County – and in other areas across the southeastern United States – went down, with calls to 911 failing to go through or being redirected to other phone numbers. State emergency response officials say that the widespread outage, which lasted several hours on Thursday, appears to have been resolved and there is now a widespread investigation into the reason for that rare failure.
Let's face it, not much work gets done between mid-December and New Year's Day. That's as true for local governments as it is for other sectors of society – however, Chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners Alan Branson is clearly already thinking about 2019. He said this week that Guilford County government is going to have a busy year ahead, and added that the year will bring a lot of financial challenges.
Guilford County Commissioner Carolyn Coleman who lives in Pleasant Garden and others in and around the town are saying they want their section of the county to see its fair share of development. Coleman has brought the issue up recently at several county commissioners meetings and she said this week that, while projects – industry, new restaurants, new retail, etc. – seem to be popping up all over the county, the same isn't true of Pleasant Garden and southeast Guilford County.
Guilford County government just flushed $421,000 in taxpayer money down the commode.
New Vice Chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners Jeff Phillips said this week that the county is starting to move the needle in the right direction when it comes to the number of foster children in the county's care, but he added that the problem is still enormous and it is something Guilford County has to make one of its top priorities in 2019.
Forsyth County is considering the purchase, preservation and development of about 215 acres of Duke Energy land to establish a new public park with roughly two miles of lakefront along Belews Lake – an area that's very popular with Guilford County residents.
On Monday, Dec. 3, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners held a morning meeting to conduct a swearing-in ceremony and, though that sounds as though there's something new on the way, the board was exactly the same old board after the swearing-in as it was before: Six commissioners were sworn back into their previously held seats for another four years.
It's good to be the king – and Chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners Alan Branson must also believe it's good to be the chairman.
Guilford County commissioner swearing-in ceremonies are always a jovial affair, however, on Monday, Dec. 3, the commissioners had an unusually elevated level of fun – with just about every single commissioner getting solid laughs at some point in the morning from the cheery audience in the Old Guilford County Court House.
Guilford County Chairman of the Board of Commissioners Alan Branson has already served one year as chairman, but some county residents may still not know much about the man who is now, for the second year in a row, the most powerful elected official in Guilford County government.
Guilford County government wants to hear from you.
The Guilford County health department likes to catch health problems early – especially when it comes to school children, and under a new program – Ready for School, Ready for Life – that department is going to start helping those children really early on. Specifically, county health workers are going to get involved before a child is even born: They'll step in when the parents are just starting to think about conception.
Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTIA) is trying to get a runway rehabilitated but now it has to go back to the drawing board at a cost of $133,000.
A rose by any other name is pretty much still a rose but there's a lot more to a name change when it's the result of a merger of a national law firm and one of North Carolina's best known firms.
When Guilford County Sheriff-elect Danny Rogers is sworn in on Monday, Dec. 3, most eyes will be on Rogers, however, there's a lot of subtext in his swearing-in ceremony since the man doing the honors – former NC Supreme Court Chief Justice Henry Frye – has been a major advocate for the themes of racial justice that Rogers says will be important in his administration as sheriff.
Guilford County Sheriff-elect Danny Rogers has his backers and his detractors, however, whatever anyone says about him, this much is true: Even before being sworn in, Rogers has brought a great deal of statewide and even some national attention to the Guilford County Sheriff's Department.
For the second year in a row, Forbes magazine has named North Carolina as the country's Best State for Business.
Guilford County Sheriff-elect Danny Rogers is now hitting back hard at his critics – especially Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes – and is adamantly defending his move to fire 28 employees in the Sheriff's Department.
Guilford County Sheriff's Department Colonel Randy Powers, one of the nearly 30 employees who has been told that as of Dec. 3 when Sheriff-elect Danny Rogers takes over he will no longer have a job, is expressing his concerns over what he said is the wholesale dismantling of effective Guilford County Sheriff's Department programs that have been carefully put in place over the years to keep the county safe.
Guilford County Sheriff-elect Danny Rogers will take office on Monday, Dec. 3 and, when he does, his salary will be the exact same as Sheriff BJ Barnes' salary after Barnes served six-terms – 24 years – in the job. Rogers will get paid $158,000 a year, making Rogers the fifth highest-paid county employee.
Guilford County staff is getting things ready for a huge day on Monday, Dec. 3 when newly elected officials will be sworn in in Greensboro and High Point – and the Guilford County Board of Commissioners will elect a new chairman.
Jobs, jobs, jobs. That's what every community wants and the good news according to the Guilford County Economic Development Alliance (GCEDA) is that Guilford County is bringing those jobs in.
High Point Mayor Jay Wagner and City Manager Greg Demko say the city's downtown is seeing tremendous investment – and that there's much more to that story than just the new baseball stadium project.
Mars may need women but Cone Health needs nurses.
In the wake of mass firings at the Guilford County Sheriff's Department by Sheriff-elect Danny Rogers, Guilford County commissioners are expressing their reactions.
New Guilford County Sheriff-elect Danny Rogers has selected Steve Parr, a Republican who ran against Sheriff BJ Barnes in the 2018 Republican sheriff's primary, to be one of his top right hand men in the new Sheriff's Department.
That is: Does District 3 Republican Guilford County Commissioner Justin Conrad want to be chairman of the Board of Commissioners for the next 12 months? Conrad, who is now vice chair of the board, has been talking and meeting with commissioners from both parties this week and everyone seems to agree on one thing – the job is Conrad's if he wants it.
Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes said on Tuesday, Nov. 27 that Guilford County Sheriff-elect Danny Rogers is conducting a "bloodletting" – defined as an indiscriminate massacre – of the Guilford County Sheriff's Department by firing a huge number of officers, including many who play key leadership roles in the department.
Planes have been known to land on golf courses in an emergency, but that is by no means an ideal situation. Planes do much better traversing flat slabs of an asphalt runway and that's the reason Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTIA) just closed Pleasant Ridge Golf Course, an 18-hole par-70 public course at 1518 Pleasant Ridge Road.
The list carried around by Santa Claus tells who's been nice, but a new list that came with Guilford County's latest audit shows who's been nice for the county's bank account.
Guilford County Sheriff-elect Danny Rogers is already shaking things up, even when it comes to his swearing-in ceremony – which will be held in High Point rather than Greensboro, the county seat, as has been the practice in the past.

The premier of Victoria is the head of government in the Australian state of Victoria. The premier is appointed by the governor of Victoria, and is the leader of the political party able to secure a majority in the Victorian Legislative Assembly.

Responsible government came to the colony of Victoria in 1855. Between 1856 and 1892, the head of the government was commonly called the premier or the prime minister, but neither title had any legal basis. The head of government always held another portfolio, usually Chief Secretary or Treasurer, for which they were paid a salary. The first head of government to hold the title of premier without holding another portfolio was William Shiels in 1892.

Premiers of Victoria who have served for more than 3,000 days have a statue installed at Treasury Place. Four Victorian premiers have been afforded this honour: Albert Dunstan, Henry Bolte, Rupert Hamer and John Cain Junior.

Every Premier of Victoria since 1933 (with the exception of Ian MacFarlan, who was Premier for 51 days) has a portrait of them displayed at Queens Hall in Parliament House. The idea of creating a portrait gallery for former Premiers of Victoria was initiated by the Hon. Fred Grimwade, the President of the Victorian Legislative Council from 1979-1985. Prior to 2001, the portraits were originally displayed in the corridor leading to the Members Dining Room, leading to the corridor being known as the "Premiers' Corridor".

The incumbent premier of Victoria since the 2014 election is Daniel Andrews of the Australian Labor Party.

More About Dividends:
One benefit of owning a stock is the potential that you will be paid a dividend. The distribution of dividend payments is another way for a company to share its profit with you. A dividend means that the company pays you a certain amount of money, either as a one-time payment or more commonly on a quarterly basis, for each share of stock you own.
Many times, dividends come at the expense of greater price appreciation, because the company is distributing its profits to shareholders rather than reinvesting the profits back into the growth of the company. However, companies that pay dividends can be very attractive to investors when they offer a steady stream of income. There are some important terms and dates an investor should be familiar with before purchasing any dividend-paying companies. Let's work through an example to help better explain some of these terms:
On March 1, ABC Widget Company has decided that because it holds excess cash and lacks investment opportunities, it would like to reward shareholders with a regular quarterly dividend payment. The date for this particular announcement is known as the declaration date. It is on this date that the company announces the specific dividend payment along with the holder-of-record date (aka record date) and the payment date. The company announces that a dividend payment of 25 cents per share will be payable March 31, 2012 (the payment date) to all shareholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 2012 (holder-of-record date). What does this all mean? Well the short story is that the company looks at its records on March 16 and anyone listed on the books as an owner of ABC Widget company will be eligible for the dividend payment (on March 31).
The one other important term to remember is the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date (typically two trading days before the holder-of-record date for U.S. securities) is the day in which a company begins trading without the dividend. In order to have a claim on a dividend, shares must be purchased no later than the last business day before the ex-dividend date. A company trading ex-dividend will have the upcoming dividend subtracted from the share price at the start of the trading day. Many times, the price of a stock will increase in anticipation of the upcoming dividend as the ex-dividend date approaches, yet will fall back by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date.

Q: What happens when the centripetal force is equal and opposite to the centrifugal force? We say that centrifugal force is fictitious, yet we still use it in some problems. If the centrifugal force is equal and opposite to the centripetal force wouldn't that make the net force zero?

A: First, it must be stated that Newton's laws only hold in inertial frames. What this means is that accelerations must arise from forces (Second Law), and these forces arise from interactions (Third Law). The issue with rotating frames is that accelerations arise when forces of interactions are not present, so Newton's laws do not hold in rotating frames.
However, the second law ($\mathbf F=m\mathbf a$) is nice to use since it tells us how to determine the position and velocity of a body given initial conditions. Therefore, we define "fictitious" centrifugal and Coriolis forces in order to keep this framework. They are "fictitious" because they are an artifact of the rotating reference frame rather than interactions, but they are not fake (for example, they are very real for anyone going around a sharp turn in a car). Essentially we have opted to abandon the third law in order to keep the second law.
Now, onto your specific inquiry: If you are in a rotating frame, and there is a force equally opposing the centrifugal force, then yes the net force is zero (assuming no Coriolis force either). Therefore in the rotating frame there is no acceleration of the object in question.
Of course, if you looked at the scenario from an inertial frame you would have a non-zero acceleration of the object as there is now a non-zero net force that is the centripetal force.

A: The centrifugal force is a "fictitious force" that appears when working in a rotating coordinate system.  Basically (together with the Coriolis force) it's the imaginary force that would, if real, make objects move with respect to a fixed, non-rotating coordinate system in the same way that they actually move (due to inertia) with respect to the rotating coordinates that we're using.
If all that sounds really confusing, please see the second half of this earlier answer I wrote, where I try to explain this in more detail (and with pictures!).
Anyway, the point of these fictitious forces is that they let us apply the same laws and formulas of Newtonian physics in a rotating frame of reference as we would in a non-rotating one, and still get physically correct results, as long as we remember to also include the effect of those imaginary forces on all objects.
For example, in a normal non-rotating coordinate system, a stationary object will remain stationary if (and only if) all the forces acting upon it cancel out, so that the net force acting on the object is zero.  In a rotating coordinate system, an object which is stationary with respect to the coordinates (i.e. rotating along with them around the same axis at the same speed) will remain so if (and only if) all the real and imaginary forces acting on it cancel out, leaving an (apparent) net force of zero.

Here's a simple example, taken from the answer I linked above.  Imagine two spheres floating in space near each other.  If you do nothing, they'll just keep floating there.  If you push each of them in different directions, then they'll each float in the direction you pushed them, away from each other.  But if the spheres have been tied together with a string, then the tension of the string will exert a centripetal force that will curve their trajectories into circles:

Now, if we look at the same system of two spheres and a string in a coordinate system which is rotating along with them, then the spheres will look as it they were motionless.  But clearly something is still pulling the string taut (and, if it's elastic, stretching it), counteracting the tension force that is pulling the spheres together.  We call this apparent force (which is really just inertia, hidden by the fact that our coordinate system is rotating) the "centrifugal force":

In this example, since the spheres are motionless with respect to the rotating coordinate system, and since the centripetal and centrifugal forces balance out, they will remain motionless with respect to the rotating coordinates — i.e. they will continue to rotate around the same axis at the same speed.

In Utero is a testament to the artistic vision of Kurt Cobain. It's kind of a weird record, and it's strangely beautiful at the same time. And if you look at Kurt's paintings and his drawings - he even did a sculpture for me - it's a rising, tortured-spirit person. It's kind of weird. It's done well, but it's like what Dave was saying about having your own sound. Kurt was a great songwriter. He knew he had a good ear for a hook [and was] a great singer, great guitar player, and In Utero is a good representation of what he liked in art and how he expressed himself.

Wirral YZ Planning Application Submitted
Nikki Anderson 30 April 2015
Our new Youth Zone in Wirral is fast becoming a reality with the news that a planning application to build The Hive Youth Zone, has recently been submitted to Wirral Borough Council for approval.
This news also comes united with the announcement that Capenhurst based nuclear enrichment company, URENCO UK Limited, will be the first Founder Patron of the Youth Zone.
Expected to open at the end of 2016, the submission of a planning application marks a significant milestone in the development of Wirral's new Youth Zone and with URENCO now confirmed as the first Founder Patron, the project is really starting to take shape.
John Syvret CBE, Chief Executive of Cammell Laird Group Ltd and Wirral Youth Zone Chair, commented on both success stories: "There has been a lot of hard work gone into getting the Youth Zone's planning application ready and we are delighted to now be in a position to submit. The young people of Wirral are long overdue a youth facility of this standard and with the planning application now in place, we are now on the road to making the dream a reality.
"An equally important milestone is the confirmation that URENCO has agreed to support the Youth Zone's mission to help transform the lives of young people in this borough and become the first Founder Patron. URENCO is a very successful company with strong community-led values. We're incredibly grateful for their support and I am confident that it will not only be their financial investment that will help enable the Youth Zone's success, but their strong CSR values will play a significant role as well."
URENCO already works hard at building strong relations with the communities in which it operates, supporting various local projects with charitable donations to providing educational support to local schools and colleges, to help encourage a better understanding of nuclear energy.
Steve Ball Head of Human Resources at URENCO commented: "We are delighted to come on board as the first Founder Patron of Wirral's new Youth Zone. The Youth Zone model is a fantastic concept and we firmly believe that young people should have the opportunity to experience a wide variety of activities to help raise their aspirations and shape their future. Wirral Youth Zone is set to be a fantastic facility and we are delighted to be playing a part in helping the young people of Wirral gain access to new opportunities in a positive, supportive environment."
Becoming a Founder Patron of The Hive is a chance for the local businesses and philanthropists to create a legacy for the future of Wirral. Their support and endorsement of the project will serve to encourage others to invest in the future of the city's young people. For more information about how to get involved please contact: Francine Healey, OnSide Youth Zones on 01204 362128 or email francine.healey@onsideyouthzones.org
A decision on the Youth Zone's planning application is expected in the summer of 2015.
