Jimmy Fike 鈥 Edible Plants: A Photographic Survey

March 3鈥揂pril 28, 2023

Since 2007, Jimmy Fike has been creating a photographic archive depicting North America鈥檚 rich trove of wild comestible flora. He has conducted field work in 15 different states and amassed a collection of over 150 specimens. His photographic work sprung from his disillusionment with the position of landscape photography in relation to pressing threats like climate change, extinction, pollution, alienation and the loss of commons. Fike hopes the photographic survey can serve as a historical archive of botanical life during an era of extreme change and provide viewers all over the country an opportunity to feel the type of bond with their landscapes that will encourage health, engender wonder, help identify free food and, most importantly, inspire greater concern for environmental issues.

Oliver O'Hanlon: Everloving

Aug. 29-Sept. 26, 2014

Interested in exploring the relationship between childhood memories and a sense of place, but contained in the present moment, O'Hanlon has been revisiting important locations which marked his life, with many of the same people. This process is a form of channeling the past to bring a narrative to childhood and adulthood. Recently, when in India, he had the feeling of turning a page. These photos are the physical result of this transition. Opened to his own past, he now can see the future. It is a celebration of life.

Oliver O'Hanlon is a commercial photographer based in Geneva, Switzerland.

Jos茅 Hern谩ndez-Claire: Broken Roots

Feb. 28-March 28, 2014

is a photographer based in Guadalajara, Mexico. About this show he writes, "No doubt the hottest issue nowadays with Mexico is immigration into the United States of America. A history of unemployment, low salaries, lack of opportunities, corruption and poor policies within the government of Mexico have caused a massive exodus of young people, possibly in their more productive stages of forming a stable workforce within the country. They often leave behind broken families, relatives, friends and almost empty villages, just inhabited by the old, and little children.

"As a concerned photographer of social issues and as a native of Mexico, I am continually interested in documenting this dramatic subject, which is growing daily and has become a crucial issue in the government policies of both Mexico and the United States."

Mr. Hern谩ndez-Claire is represented in photographic collections worldwide and has had over 60 exhibitions in Mexico, France, French Guyana, Canada, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, U.K., Cuba, Bangladesh, China, and the United States. This show comes to the Gallery from the Embassy of France in Washington, DC.

Benedict J. Fernandez: A Life's Work in Photography

Oct. 26-Nov. 21, 2012

The Wall Street journal wrote of this exhibition (which is currently also on view at the Robert Anderson Gallery in New York City), "(This is) a sampling of work from Benedict J. Fernandez's long career in photojournalism. Mr. Fernandez (b. 1936) does not belong to a photo agency and does not shoot on assignment. He self-selects his projects and, since he is not working against a deadline, works on them until he is satisfied; as a consequence, his pictures frequently have an art photography quality. Unlike much photojournalism that simply records an event, Mr. Fernandez creates images that distill its essence.

"The top half of "Wall Street, New York City" (1970) is dominated by a fluttering American flag, but the scene beneath Old Glory is one of strenuous conflict as hard-hat construction workers battle police during a demonstration in support of U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam. The flag is backlit and light glances off the police helmets and the demonstrators' hard hats, charging the image with vitality. Mr. Fernandez shot both pro- and antiwar demonstrations, as well as actions in favor of, and against, the civil-rights movement." (22 Sept 2012, p. A-20)

Journeys reveal peoples' needs, intents, and situations. This collection of images from Washington, DC; the Arizona border region and Cincinnati, Ohio examines circumstances surrounding and driven by people on the move: the urban commuter, the undocumented migrant, the drop-in to a food bank.

Stephen Mallon: Reframing the Machine

March 2-30, 2012

Re-framing the Machine follows Stephen Mallon's winding journey of searching out his industrial landscapes. From out-takes to the decisive and violent recycling of New York City, Mallon's selects of the past decade's picture hunting are here to see.

One of the exhibition's featured projects is images of subway cars being dumped into the Atlantic. More than 2,500 of New York's decommissioned subway cars are laid to rest on the eternal seabed. Gutted and windowless, the hardest workers in the mobile world fall down to the new base, where they now forever serve another population. Mallon's photographs elicit both the sadness and the beauty of cascading water overtaking these iconic figures of New York transit as they sink beneath the surface of the water; surges and sprays are caught in time.

Another image in the exhibition is the only passenger jet aircraft to ditch in water with zero fatalities. Time moves and memories fade. Three years have passed, and it can be difficult to recall the moment for one heard the news of a passenger jet landing in a river in New York. The feelings of shock, awe, disbelief, and amazement come rushing back when seeing an airplane emerging from the icy water.

Most recently, Mallon spent six months producing a short film about the transport and installation of the new Willis Street Bridge. Produced from more than 30,000 still images, the time lapse film, "A Bridge Delivered," was reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, GQ, PDN and Wired. "A Bridge Delivered" was shown at Mr. Mallon's afternoon talk and during the opening reception.

Sarah Carmody: CREATORECORDER

Sept. 24-Oct. 22, 2010

CREATORECORDER explores the dichotomy between a photographer as a documentarian and as an originator. The images, taken from desert, temperate and urban landscapes are manipulated to create a reality fashioned to the photographer's whim. Some of the images anthropomorphize the elements of nature by seeking out 鈥渉uman鈥 qualities鈥 applying human references to them. The intent of CREATORECORDER is to blur the line between what is reality and perception and to raise the question: to what extent is the photographer 鈥減lagiarizing鈥 creation and at what point (if ever) does the photographer become creator.

Jorge Vera: urbanismo

Aug. 27-Sept. 17, 2010

Jorge Vera is a photographer and visual artist based in Lima, Peru. His current series, "urbanismo" (2008-2010), echoes early work from his first solo show in St. Louis, "Seldom Seen" (1989), exploring iconic images of the Midwest, where he lived from 1983 to 1992. In this period Vera started capturing images of mostly empty suburbia and urban spaces and landscapes, work that reflects his experience of isolation and alienation as a young self-exiled immigrant in the United States.

Robert LaRouche: A Reporter's Eye 鈥 50 Years in the Newspaper Business

Feb. 21-March 28, 2003

In eighth grade I was named editor of the school newspaper. That was over 50 years ago, my first newspaper job. In high school I delivered newspapers (Newark NJ STAR LEDGER), set pins in a bowling alley at night, worked in a butcher shop, learned to hand-set type. They were all experiences that I cherish, part of the general education a journalist needs to understand the real world.

Since then I have made my living as a reporter and feature writer, news and magazine photographer, teacher and photo editor. In my mind they are all the same: gather information, organize it and pass it on.

This is what we do: Tell the story. Try to get it right.

The words give you the details, the hard fact matter. The photos show what the story is about, physically and emotionally. They work together to tell the story.

I worked at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, as photographer and photo editor, for 43 years. Before that I worked at newspapers in Elizabeth, NJ; Toledo, Cleveland, Washington Court House and Yellow Springs, Ohio; Russellville, KY. and Santa Fe, NM. Some of those jobs were while I was a student at Antioch College in Ohio, where students spent half their time on full time "co-op jobs" as part of the education. They call them internships now.

As a matter of simple coincidence, in my career I have ridden the waves of changing technology, from hand-set headlines and hot lead to offset printing, from processing sheet film from a 4X5 Speed Graphic to editing digital photos in Photoshop on a computer. I had to bootleg 35mm and roll film on the night shift because the chief photographer believed only sheet film was "professional."

The cliche is that "it has been an honor and a privilege." I'll pass on the honor, but a lifetime as a working newspaperman has been a decided privilege, an opportunity granted to a few to have a voice in significant social dialogue. Privilege implies responsibility, always. In the new corporate world of journalism ethics by committee, there are multiple pages of written guidelines. They boil down to some simple basics:

Be honest. Be real. Yes, "honesty" is subjective. It is a big part of integrity, seeking the truth to the best of your skills and sensibilities. Being true to your subjects and your readers is the obligation that comes with the press pass. Being true to yourself is also part of integrity.

The photographs here are a sampling of images gathered and stories covered. in my time at the Post-Dispatch. They include some of my favorite stories and a few favorite photos 鈥 that is much the same thing. I've tried to put them in context, in the caption key provided.

They do not include a great deal else that goes into the daily life and efforts of the working journalist, a staff photographer on a metropolitan daily newspaper.

But that's another story.

Richard Flamer: The Chiapas Project

March 8-April 5, 2002

Members of the Des Moines Catholic Worker discovered a humanitarian need in Chiapas, Mexico, in the area of San Cristobal de las Casas in June1999. Specifically, over 30,000 Mayan Indians have been expelled from their homes by the local government, and have suffered human rights violations at the hands of their own fellow citizens. Given their social mission with the poor, the Des Moines Catholic Worker members have committed to these people in ways that will provide educational, economic and housing development opportunities.

The plan includes several projects. They are finishing work on a Community Center which contains a child care center that enables single mothers to go to work, and will house a sewing cooperative, providing much needed jobs. The plan also includes building a warehouse for storage of building materials for Habitat for Humanity, with upper level classrooms for adult education, among other projects.

Contributions to the project can be sent to:
