Public and Private Passions: Episode Two
Creative Haverhill presents the second episode of thePublic and Private Passions video
documentary series on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at 12:00 pm, 5:00 pm, and 8:00 pm on HCVT
channel 9. This episode will focus upon acclaimed Haverhill artists Paul Prue and Don
Toothaker.
Creative Haverhill is a non-profit organization designed to promote artists who work and live in
Haverhill. Stained glass artist Paul Prue’s work can be found in Haverhill as well as throughout
the region. Don Toothaker is a digital photographer who focuses upon the history and cultures
of New England.
Prue is quoted as saying “I’ve always been an artist... I’ll be 90 still pulling windows out of a
church and restoring them.” In addition to churches, Prue’s work can be found in restaurants,
public buildings and private collections. “For me, one of the greatest aspects of digital
photography is the opportunities it offers. The camera is just a tool and, ultimately, it is only as
good as you are” says Toothaker. “When I was a film shooter and headed to Maine for a
weekend, I would typically bring 25 rolls of film. Instead of wasting film, I wasted opportunities.
Now, I dial a button and blow away anything that those films could ever do.”
Public and Private Passions follows artists such as Prue and Toothaker illustrating their love of
art and connection to the city of Haverhill. Creative Haverhill will present one episode per
month for the next eight months. This series can be viewed on HCVT as well as on YouTube.
