It was a good show. My first show. Now on to the next thing. I'm designing a new photo blog with <a href="http://www.leilaniwertens.com/">Leilani Wertens</a> that's launching very soon, maybe next week. It'll have interviews with new contemporary photographers, reviews of books and shows, and an events listing for shows and other photo stuff that should not be missed. It'll be Chicago or Midwest-centric instead of NY/east coast-centric. This kind of thing is needed. Today I was designing the home page and somehow subconsciously channeled Ed Ruscha. I've always felt I have a connection with him...<br /><br />Anyway, look for the site to be up in the near future. It's name is <a href="http://www.dorothea-western.com/">Dorothea & Western</a>. We got the domain with a "-" instead of the ampersand because it's easier to type. I doubt we'll put the meaning of the name on the website so here's the one and only explanation that you'll find on the web. We wanted to name it after a very important and significant photographer to both of us (Leilani and I) and we wanted it to also be about a place or the idea of a place but without it being too local. So, for the photographer we chose Dorothea as in Dorothea Lange. This also helped us decide what the other name was to be. We picked Western not only because it is the place of the West that is meaningful but also the idea of the west; to head west, to be westward bound. That idea has meant so much not only to the history of the U.S. but to many photographers as well. Also, Western is the street that you would take to get to either my or Leilani's house- kinda nifty.Mike Reindershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248231407527314524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846483786487744368.post-14490823527400893322010-04-24T15:00:00.000-05:002010-04-24T15:01:18.008-05:00opening tonight<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzRA35h9Io4W5F2JFgU4kV7A3telMxvzz-ejcx1W8j7GCc-fzOP6nCXQW3Pf8GxsfpSLpDQNN4CdQFExHWfBqY5Zxw71LLs6Rd95ZHCz1qQMbzT5U34jZX4L-vy54Ca5FT5MGVVnGsZLY/s1600/329967801349.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Parr has no less than 50 monographs to his credit. I have a copy of his <span style="font-style: italic;">Mexico</span> monograph and am hoping he'll do me the honor of signing it. What a pleasure it has been though to have Eggleston and now Parr in a matter of weeks gracing Chicago with their presence and great exhibitions of their work. I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say this but... if you <span style="font-style: italic;">don't</span> like Martin Parr, you might not like making photographs.Mike Reindershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248231407527314524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846483786487744368.post-30447848028695205222010-02-27T21:00:00.000-06:002010-02-28T11:45:36.001-06:00Eggleston<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbFDo_KzX82jouW7LgTLzbEU0rKAu5HmMrHOVxGAE4qDJAhyLqtwFKOhZ5oTkTm18q2KwsMt2g5ltn9MUIVXWmLpJFmuGfJsXucZwmHYGzhDLqtlfXDLbbyKLkGZg2axpU_2BvF_8HyGY/s1600-h/4eggleston_untitledplane.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

These go all the way back to late November when I made the trip to Garden of the Gods near Herod, IL. I'll have more next week. I'm a little disappointed that 4 of the negs got ruined when the processor went down at the lab... I could probably re-shoot them if I could get down to Missouri in the next few weeks. But still, I'm pretty happy with most of what I got, especially the top pic on this post.Mike Reindershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248231407527314524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846483786487744368.post-82124760444085821682010-01-11T22:07:00.009-06:002010-01-18T23:59:33.449-06:00on break<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAarFErjTBpDlJR1DcM8MjpDiDGUQRnYwVJJxIVVvlDI4Ad2UbGt2hJcGcQaAMenwpCJTDA4WMxhRnSibudhgUmmpBgasCJO4sUnkGzQZzCvL7d8PkCA_A9unSVC7pd8aCpl2zDgbJnM/s1600-h/shuttle1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAarFErjTBpDlJR1DcM8MjpDiDGUQRnYwVJJxIVVvlDI4Ad2UbGt2hJcGcQaAMenwpCJTDA4WMxhRnSibudhgUmmpBgasCJO4sUnkGzQZzCvL7d8PkCA_A9unSVC7pd8aCpl2zDgbJnM/s400/shuttle1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428326518427550210" border="0" /></a><br />Its been a little quiet lately. Photos I shot at the end of last year are still waiting to be scanned (the lab at school is closed a further 2 weeks) and I'll be working on 2 grants and a job application in the coming weeks. But to keep the blog going, I'll post a little about the new branch of my project that's been on my mind lately.<br /><br />I've been photographing observatories for the past year in between shooting the views for "The Expected Frontier". While shooting these magnificent pieces of star-gazing architecture I wondered, "is there anything more I could be doing for this part of the project?" And of course, the answer was "yes there is." I've recently become obsessed with the early years of space exploration, the Apollo program and everything after that has been progressing towards the event of exploring new land. If there's ever a mission to Mars in the next 60 years, I want to be the next Timothy O'Sullivan or W.H. Jackson that gets to go and photograph with an 8x10. Most of the work I've made so far I hope, helps make the case for me to go. But in the meantime, I might need something else to keep me occupied. This next part of the project will do that easily.<br /><br />When I heard that they (I guess the government and NASA together) decided to discontinue the shuttle program, I was a little upset. People had been going into space using the shuttle since I was born and I had watched launches and had been playing with toy shuttles since I could remember. It didn't make sense to me. It was like they were deciding to stop progress. The shuttle program is old and the shuttles themselves have been used way past the time they were supposed to retire. However, there was never any practical idea that surfaced to replace them. I guess they're working on that <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_%28spacecraft%29">now</a> </span><span>but in the meantime, the U.S. has to catch a ride with the Russians on their rockets.<br /><br />So, that leaves me wondering "well what are we (the U.S.) going to do while we wait for NASA to build the next space shuttles?" Are we still going to make progress in exploring space or are we going to fall back? The next part of my photographic project will look at this question and document the things related to how we are going to get there. This probably won't come out as literal as I'm proposing but I hope it will be more of an exploration of the idea of space as "frontier" and how this idea really is entrenched into the U.S.. Or, maybe not the whole U.S. but me, at least.<br /><br />That's where I'll leave it for now. I have places to go in mind like Edwards AFB in California and I'd like to get to see one of the last space shuttles launch- the last one will happen sometime in the later half of 2011. But what I'd really like to find is that toy space shuttle that I had when I was kid and got so much use out of that I had to buy another one myself, with my own money.<br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjpGkdhwJ0Q3scAtEJ_XehN4W4LiF-v0TgMzRGYO7__EFhphz1w0M3yFo-FuUQJS8K1UDdngV7wRTvfosowVh9KLD6TBT0oR2ylhmkw9B8uLlp3kEklRFAlR4-AD5uQUQDOMY7s3TmTJA/s1600-h/2110506837_6829d4aeba.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjpGkdhwJ0Q3scAtEJ_XehN4W4LiF-v0TgMzRGYO7__EFhphz1w0M3yFo-FuUQJS8K1UDdngV7wRTvfosowVh9KLD6TBT0oR2ylhmkw9B8uLlp3kEklRFAlR4-AD5uQUQDOMY7s3TmTJA/s400/2110506837_6829d4aeba.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425735542003895618" border="0" /></a>From the bottom of the 13th page of google results for "toy shuttles"<br /><br /></div>Mike Reindershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248231407527314524noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846483786487744368.post-58816796858265797402009-12-25T13:00:00.002-06:002009-12-25T22:35:54.671-06:00merry x-mas!<object width="420" height="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/huzXQuNaDVQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/huzXQuNaDVQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="420" height="320"></embed></object>Mike Reindershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248231407527314524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846483786487744368.post-63954656500249411122009-12-09T20:45:00.004-06:002009-12-10T12:25:11.975-06:00Cape Girardeau<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJroyDUHFas-wUwqNgCLc5ubf4ox7rPu4qhiGqtHwi-3gBlJCq-9tGrLg0U3FJudO991t7Q4x9vWeSgOCmh5i1vB0D0GM3K_J0-AeGX8fhabw4JhWZ2CFG-ldM5POpOgknerwSLOEVtDY/s1600-h/cape+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 307px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJroyDUHFas-wUwqNgCLc5ubf4ox7rPu4qhiGqtHwi-3gBlJCq-9tGrLg0U3FJudO991t7Q4x9vWeSgOCmh5i1vB0D0GM3K_J0-AeGX8fhabw4JhWZ2CFG-ldM5POpOgknerwSLOEVtDY/s400/cape+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413434511599098610" border="0" /></a>The Emerson Bridge<br /></div>Mike Reindershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248231407527314524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846483786487744368.post-48186893851726665302009-12-08T20:15:00.003-06:002009-12-08T20:31:55.538-06:00the other garden<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvemkziu-UIiemAIPkqTuEqkrjggaMb6vtr0-pwQ4ovPTQb5LVGLDgz4G16S0t8AMcN7ImT6yOnAjISBLGU5uPNBtYO8ZWL4k4rE_nXjIgOV_JMCHi9J-6ws1g4MCYvBaJysQZflWrVhQ/s1600-h/garden.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvemkziu-UIiemAIPkqTuEqkrjggaMb6vtr0-pwQ4ovPTQb5LVGLDgz4G16S0t8AMcN7ImT6yOnAjISBLGU5uPNBtYO8ZWL4k4rE_nXjIgOV_JMCHi9J-6ws1g4MCYvBaJysQZflWrVhQ/s400/garden.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413057693327378386" border="0" /></a>W.H.

I was shocked to find topography unlike anywhere else in the entire state. These are a few day-of-the-shoot shots that I made with my camera phone. I becoming quite fond of what it does.

But it's fast and I can put it directly above my 4x5 lens. something happened to the last shot... looks like the photoshop monster is coming back...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEBj5dfTL5IJXGaDY1ffOMpFdv0Cu8FTJ2lhXTO_3Jv1iQjtjribAoRKy2cW4dLmgb2rUk6kMoRap9IZ1QVOsDf7SFzOqUh7Yr72yFjj6NbLM1KN-PFXjFNoEY86ncupbMBdyXZ1tfVoA/s1600/302720718085.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Nate re-shot a few things too. I've been taking cell phone pics straight from the top of my camera after I shoot the 4x5, thus these instant, day-of-the-shoot pics are on my blog tonight. This globe was a happy accident on the way to the bathroom in the geology building.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmo7Vt97eXlSG656HiYGEpbSDDynZQeB2b1urTYVmaIQpzK_0jmp8WLe-59VcVX2M7SgeFVThuXkBVqnbloE5_NdsyehQhmw4y_DNkOt3868Ir9wfIP9VuM0US93lrlXesOK-10woH7Cc/s1600-h/298783190149.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmo7Vt97eXlSG656HiYGEpbSDDynZQeB2b1urTYVmaIQpzK_0jmp8WLe-59VcVX2M7SgeFVThuXkBVqnbloE5_NdsyehQhmw4y_DNkOt3868Ir9wfIP9VuM0US93lrlXesOK-10woH7Cc/s400/298783190149.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401597947177986242" border="0" /></a>inside the geology building<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZsGA6iiGmHo4WZieO1NJKf4itwH7q074kN-74EgYqMu2xa2bkkUUiIgoIjFAgB9JsJbnH1hwTa_nq582VKMVOdN1zn0-M04SWRnRXP-pJWoHrdjW998ViXl6SmL-TdRBjt8h2QnBwbwg/s1600-h/298878776453.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZsGA6iiGmHo4WZieO1NJKf4itwH7q074kN-74EgYqMu2xa2bkkUUiIgoIjFAgB9JsJbnH1hwTa_nq582VKMVOdN1zn0-M04SWRnRXP-pJWoHrdjW998ViXl6SmL-TdRBjt8h2QnBwbwg/s400/298878776453.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401597883124871634" border="0" /></a>the observatory<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSZJAwNuXPbJRbz0IW91hix28NxZUEeXZkznot_QQur5KdwOLnF6CiWsAXKx73t_wJn0Vk3Rm4d4x_AJafhcTO6jk9ufS7zP3pW7kER57Urtv3zIj5bEj1oBPpK2hWrnC9_iOoBTZZHMw/s1600-h/298878820613.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSZJAwNuXPbJRbz0IW91hix28NxZUEeXZkznot_QQur5KdwOLnF6CiWsAXKx73t_wJn0Vk3Rm4d4x_AJafhcTO6jk9ufS7zP3pW7kER57Urtv3zIj5bEj1oBPpK2hWrnC9_iOoBTZZHMw/s400/298878820613.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401597813108574722" border="0" /></a>a medium sized radio telescope<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimjq3M6uw7ts-8NPUhlj0n2KXEm4b9IYMeRS7cft0JUBairig9xuoKqb4Xbl0ICYhf0AEIEDnzrjE_wfcchH-qtJT1shXzHv7zpcMMn5FgkwJ8890cFae78gZwbpoOOoVSAsOUQ6f_FE8/s1600-h/298878924677.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimjq3M6uw7ts-8NPUhlj0n2KXEm4b9IYMeRS7cft0JUBairig9xuoKqb4Xbl0ICYhf0AEIEDnzrjE_wfcchH-qtJT1shXzHv7zpcMMn5FgkwJ8890cFae78gZwbpoOOoVSAsOUQ6f_FE8/s400/298878924677.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401597699490438946" border="0" /></a>Nate making his picture<br /></div>Mike Reindershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248231407527314524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846483786487744368.post-17904495361237149602009-11-05T11:15:00.005-06:002009-12-07T22:01:04.798-06:00Nate Mathews opening!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://natematthews.com/Images/Nate_Mathews_106.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 318px;" src="http://natematthews.com/Images/Nate_Mathews_106.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />My friend and colleague Nate Mathews has a solo-show opening tonight from 4-7pm at the UIC Student Center. Here's the info and GPS coordinates from Nate himself:<br /><br />The Address is: Art Lounge, UIC Student Center West, 828 South Wolcott Ave. This is the west end of the UIC campus near Damen so you could take a Damen bus south to Polk and go one block east, or take the pink line to polk and walk two blocks west. There is also plenty of metered parking within a block or two walk. The space is in the south east corner of the building so enter from the south doors (near the center of the block) and turn right. The gallery is next to the bookstore in the corner past the stairs.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.natemathews.com/blog/uploaded_images/Picture-14-742940.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 313px;" src="http://www.natemathews.com/blog/uploaded_images/Picture-14-742940.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Mike Reindershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248231407527314524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846483786487744368.post-51602269827776935792009-11-04T11:30:00.005-06:002009-11-05T00:14:50.832-06:00an old favorite<object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_ul7X5js1vE&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_ul7X5js1vE&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="320" width="403"></embed></object><br /><br />Sesame Street turned 40 today.

I arrived at 2am in a deserted airport. As I got off the plane the pilot apologized and a stack of diet coke and peanuts waited for me at the gate. Here's a map of what the plane did. As we approached Minneapolis, the pilot came on and said "they're making us circle the airport until we can land so we're gonna have to go to Milwaukee because we're going to run out of gas." So we flew to Milwaukee, refueled, sat on the tarmac for an hour and a half and then flew an hour back to Minneapolis. A lady got sick at the end. A woman on the plane had to help her and paramedics were called to get her off the plane first. This was hell. And I had to give my first big artist lecture the next day. My friend Heather drove there and beat my plane by over an hour. I decided not to go with her because I wanted to get there early and rest up for my talk. The lecture did go well though. I might of rushed through a few things and I did forget W.H. Jackson's name, but it was pretty good anyway. I showed this map at the beginning of my talk. The second map is all the trips that I've taken so far for my project. It looks like I might be making another one soon. People have told me the coasts look conspicuously empty.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_pIF2sIh9SF8um7kqHDuU-MweSoP6tjW1VwxZCZDmgGmqMpaWcf3N_g1BzFWiigTCgAX_5zckdTLDo4lOIopVzcwZUslrkJo4-9Mu2LTy2U2WKLz2q71qKamRfiMYTLKUss16_d03Go/s1600-h/big+map.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 189px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_pIF2sIh9SF8um7kqHDuU-MweSoP6tjW1VwxZCZDmgGmqMpaWcf3N_g1BzFWiigTCgAX_5zckdTLDo4lOIopVzcwZUslrkJo4-9Mu2LTy2U2WKLz2q71qKamRfiMYTLKUss16_d03Go/s400/big+map.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399986221254997554" border="0" /></a>Mike Reindershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248231407527314524noreply@blogger.com1
