Robert Mapplethorpe’s Photography at the Guggenheim…


JANUARY 23, 2019: See and Be Seen: Robert Mapplethorpe’s Photography at the Guggenheim…

Who is up for a road trip: JANUARY 23, 2019: See and Be Seen: Robert Mapplethorpe’s Photography at the Guggenheim…

According to an article By Caitlin Dover on the Guggenheim’s website here: https://www.guggenheim.org/blogs/checklist/see-and-be-seen-robert-mapplethorpes-photography-at-the-guggenheim

[…] 

Implicit Tensions: Mapplethorpe Now, which opens this Friday, January 25 at the Guggenheim, presents selections of the artist’s work thirty years after his death. Drawn from extensive holdings gifted to the museum by the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation in 1993, the show includes iconic images of nudes and flowers, explicit depictions of the S&M underground, portraits of the likes of Philip Glass and Andy Warhol, and Mapplethorpe’s intriguing and moving self-portraits.

The exhibition will have two phases; the second phase, which opens in July, will delve into Mapplethorpe’s impact on portraiture and self-representation, showing works by contemporary artists Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Lyle Ashton Harris, Glenn Ligon, Zanele Muholi, Catherine Opie, and Paul Mpagi Sepuya.

Hyperallergic: A Mysterious Police Archive Reveals Mid-Century Mexico’s Cult Criminal Heroes by Carey Dunne on January 7, 2016

Hyperallergic: A Mysterious Police Archive Reveals Mid-Century Mexico’s Cult Criminal Heroes by Carey Dunne on January 7, 2016


In summer 2010, while poking around at a stall in Mexico City’s sprawling thrift market, Las Lagunillas, artist Stefan Ruiz discovered a batch of photographs from the city’s police archives. Over the next few years, Ruiz purchased hundreds more such photos from the vendor, who refused to reveal his source. The yellowing black-and-white images included mugshots, stills of an armed robbery, and artists’ impressions of both notorious criminals and stolen jewelry. Ruiz was fascinated by this rarely seen visual history of crime in mid-century Mexico. Now, his collection is compiled in a book, Mexican Crime Photographs, published by GOST

Here are the winners of the 2014 US Military Photographer Awards Business Insider Australia… by JEREMY BENDER



“A panel of judges in Fort Meade, Maryland have made their selections for the 2014 Military Photographer awards.

“The judges have handed out awards to military photographers for their amazing work in ten different categories including Sports, Pictorial, and Combat Documentation (Operational). The judges have also named the overall best military photographer for 2014…”

This is an awesome set of photographs…


In photograph # 17, “A US Marine assigned to Echo Company 4th Reconnaissance Battalion rappels out of a CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter at Camp Upshur, Marine...”

Take a good look at this photograph. I trained, in part, at Camp Upshur in the summer of 1972. If you will notice how graceful the Marine jumps out of the helicopter. This Marine makes it look so easy – so polished – so graceful. A ballet in the air with a helicopter. It is beautiful. That, my friends, is not how I did it.

In the real world, the helicopter is so loud. The air rushes about so violently. If my memory serves me, in my case the helicopter was a Boeing CH-47 Chinook and-or a CH-46E Sea Knight – see picture #16...

At night it was easy to lose track of what was up and what was down - and just where is the ground anyway? You pray you find the landing zone before it finds you – with a very hard thud. I usually flailed-out of the aircraft and fell on my head. Over and over again.

Go here for all the pictures…. I also did number 7: I have no idea why I did not drown. I remember #6… I still do not like wind to this day.


Picture #10 is pretty powerful. And see if you can look at picture #14 and not get a tear in your eye.

Photograph #21 made me think of my grandfather, William Earl Wright, who served as a farrier in the cavalry during World War 1. (My dad served in the Navy during World War II – in the Pacific Theater …)

Photograph #24, ‘'The Army Chaplain' is pretty poignant.

All of the pictures are great. Please enjoy…

See Dick Hull's latest photography at the Carroll Camera Club’s annual exhibition, Lens Flair” at the Carroll Arts Center.



January 29, 2015 KED

On Friday, February 9, 2007, Dick Hull retired from Carroll Land Services. The creative genius that made Carroll Land Services so successful can still be seen through the lens of his camera.

Find his latest work at the Carroll Arts Center in an exhibit with the Carroll Camera Club’s annual exhibition, Lens Flair.” http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-carroll-county-camera-club-20150120,0,2829628.story

According to Carroll County Times writer Jacob deNobel, the exhibition started on Thursday, January 22, 2015 and is “running until Feb. 28. The exhibition features photography from the group's 38 members and families, with subjects including nature photography, still-lifes, abstract images and landscapes


[…]

Mr. deNobel quotes Mr. Hull to remark, “Richard Hull, a nature photographer from Manchester who will be exhibiting in the show, said he began taking pictures in the mid-'80s when he became involved with underwater photography. When he bought his first digital camera in 2005, he had trouble with the new technology, though soon embraced the tech wholeheartedly.

“‘I’m not a computer guy, so to learn computers and the programs was pretty tough," Hull said. "In my opinion, it really is superior a lot of the time, even though there are people who would hate to hear me say it.’”

Baltimore Sun – Sloane Brown: Pictures: What's in Store in Westminster

Pictures: What's in Store in Westminster – Off Track Art


Perhaps it's something in the air. But Westminster seems to be a center of creative expression.

Whether it's something created by a local artist or artisan or a home accent carefully chosen by a local business owner, you're sure to find something here that can bring a little self-expression to your home. -- Sloane Brown

What's in Store: Off Track Art
(Sloane Brown, Special to The Baltimore Sun / April 26, 2012 )
Two businesses share this artistic space. Walk in the door and on the left, you'll enter Off Track Art, an artists cooperative which currently shows the work of 10 local artists.

On the right is Carousel Stained Glass, with work mostly by owner Roger Lewis, who also teaches locally and shows the work of his students.

From Off Track Art: a 20-inch-x-22-inch mixed media collage displayed in a 6-panel window, titled “Egg Visions” ($250) by Bob Waddell; a 32-inch-30-inch “Reclining Nude” laminated plywood sculpture by Linda Van Hart; and an 18-inch-x-12-inch red and black patchwork small laundry basket ($150) by nationally acclaimed basket maker Joyce Schaum.

Off Track Art and Carousel Stained Glass are at 11 Liberty St., Westminster.

“Child of the Universe,” the latest exhibition by Phil Grout opens Friday at Off Track Art in Westminster

“Child of the Universe,” the latest exhibition by Phil Grout opens Friday at Off Track Art in Westminster


Award-winning Carroll County photojournalist, fine art photographer, and author, Phil Grout, will appear for the opening of his latest exhibition Friday, May 4, 2012, at Off Track Art in Westminster.

His latest exhibit, titled “Child of the Universe,” is a collection of 40 black and white images that come to life from Grout’s 45 years of documenting life in Americas, Africa, Asia and India.

Grout is no stranger to Off Track Art, where he exhibited extensively from January through June in 2011.

Previously Grout had a critically acclaimed retrospective show at Birdie’s Cafe, 233 E. Main St., Westminster, MD ran in November and December 2010. That show, “44/40,” spanned over four decades of Grout’s work, from Vietnam to Africa, Plains Georgia, to Carroll County; and included almost 70 pieces of work.

“I’ve never done a show like this,” said Grout in an interview last Wednesday. “This show focuses upon our humanity and what binds us together… It’s 40 4-by-6 inch framed black and white images of people and runs the gamut of emotions,” explained Grout.

For example, in “Afua's Hands,” Grout reminisces “Her name was Afua Nyame. At 83 she was the oldest cocoa farmer in the village of Odaho, Ghana, West Africa. In Harvest of Hope, a book by Grout for SERRV International, he wrote, “Hope carves trails in an old woman's hands then plows furrows up her arms, and all trails lead back home where food is never scarce and the medicine is always half full.”

In another photograph, “Giving Thanks,” Grout shares that it “is a portrait I made in 1971 of John and Irene Wolf saying grace in their humble Taneytown home. John was a huckster who hauled livestock to the Woodsboro auction for over 50 years. He would return many times with box lots of 19th century tools.

“Over the years he built an extensive collection of Americana and hand-wrought farm implements and tools. The Wolfs helped shine the light on my path which lead me round the world in search of the threads which bind us together as human beings.”

Since 1966 that path has lead Grout and his work throughout North, South and Central America, Asia and Africa gathering images for newspapers, magazines, wire services, and book publishers.

According to his website, philgrout.com, and a series of e-mail interviews, Grout said he “started to learn his craft as a photographer in 1966 working as a photojournalist for the U.S. Navy covering naval operations in Vietnam.

“But I quickly learned it wasn’t the images of war I was hunting, but more the face of humanity as I roamed the back alleys of Saigon; Hong Kong; Sasebo, Japan and Olongopo, Philippines.”

With pictures and words Grout, “became a gatherer of the threads which bind us together as human beings.”

After the war, Grout “came home and settled in rural Maryland with his wife, Mary Lou, and worked for nearly 10 years as a photographer, reporter, and editor for the Hanover Evening Sun in Westminster.”

Since moving to Carroll County, Grout has authored three critically acclaimed photo essay books. His work has been awarded by the Associated Press as well as various arts organizations. It has also been featured in art galleries throughout the United States.”

According to Grout, “I fell in love with this land and its people who worked the land in my new rural home. That love pulled me away to Plains, Georgia in the late 70’s to complete my first book as I lived in an abandoned sharecropper’s home near President Jimmy Carter’s farm, and learned first hand the rigors of working the land and documenting the “tillers of the soil.”

His first venture into the book world won him national critical acclaim, including recognition from Publisher’s Weekly which called A Spell in Plains “a triumph.”

In the 1980’s Grout took his camera throughout the developing world in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and India documenting the work of various relief organizations. 

A second book of photography, “Seeds of Hope,” “grew from the splinters left in the wake of a hurricane which cut a path through Nicaragua in 1988,” recalled Grout.

Grout then went on to live in Ghana, West Africa in 2002, with an extended family of cocoa farmers to create his latest book, “Harvest of Hope,” a portrait of those who toil to bring us chocolate.

Grout, who is also an avid gardener, is constantly pushing the artistic envelope in search of new and innovative ways to tell a story, over the past four decades he has explored drawing, blacksmithing, woodworking, papermaking, and new photographic processes in photography.

In a May 21, 1995 article in the Baltimore Sun, credits his father, Gerald C. Grout, for his interest in art and photography. “He’s the one who really got me into photography. He was a physician and a fine photographer. He had his own darkroom, and I used to watch him,” Grout told Sun writer, Ellie Baublitz.

At the time, the article in 1995 described Grout’s show at the Carroll County Arts Center, also a retrospective, “Jubilee: A Photographic Retrospective.”

“Like his father, Mr. Grout has a studio and darkroom in his Westminster home, where he develops prints, standard photos as well as what he calls ‘photoglyphs’ and an even newer image using handmade paper,” wrote Baublitz in 1995.

“His photographs capture people, animals, and nature, mostly in black and white, few in color, some as photoglyphs.

The photoglyphs are a relatively new method of developing prints that Mr. Grout discovered while experimenting with chemicals,” observed Baublitz.

“For those who have the time, Mr. Grout can tell the story behind (each of) his photographs.”

Indeed, his photographs all tell a short philosophical story about Grout’s worldwide travels in the four decades of a life rich in storytelling and experiences.

Grout is “Good picture shooter and a colleague in journalism… (We worked together) starting in the Navy and then at the Hanover Evening Sun… I have three or four walls covered with his work in my home…. (I) recommend you stop by and see his stuff,” said former Carroll County Commissioner and fellow Vietnam veteran, Dean Minnich

Sherri Hosfeld Joseph, the owner of Birdie’s and an artist and critically acclaimed photographer herself, added, “Phil Grout is one of the greatest photojournalists of his generation. We are truly blessed as a community that he has chosen our stories to document. His work will leave you awestruck.”

After his work in Africa, Phil returned to his first love, photojournalism, and newspapers in 2006, freelancing for Patuxent Publishing and its string of papers in central Maryland. His photo illustrations regularly appear in Carroll Magazine as well.

Phil’s photography and reporting have been awarded by the Associated Press, Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association as well as various arts organizations.

"Child of the Universe," a collection of 40 black & white images opens Friday, May 4, 5:30-7:30, at Off Track Art, an artists’ collective and gallery located in the historic Liberty Building at 11 Liberty Street – next to the railroad tracks, off of the Sentinel parking lot at the corner of West Main St and MD 27-Liberty St - in the historic downtown of Westminster, Maryland. The exhibition runs through the month of June.

Sad Times for Eastman Kodak, TheTentacle.com: February 15, 2012, by Kevin E. Dayhoff


There have been many tragedies of economic malaise in the last five years. Kodak’s recent filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy seems especially sad; and it is only fitting that we pause for a moment to pay our respects.

According to an article in The Wall Street Journal by Mike Spector, Dana Mattioli and Peg Brickley on January 20, “Kodak's board, meeting by telephone, voted to seek bankruptcy protection at 4:48 p.m. Wednesday after a 75-minute discussion of the company’s position, a person familiar with the matter said. The company filed the documents shortly after midnight.”

Then, as if the laws of nature endeavored to pour salt in the wound – and our collective memories – the venerable 132-year old icon of American hard work and innovation announced it was going to stop making cameras… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4921
