Thank you so much for your comments about my plate, Blowing Smoke. That piece is part of a series called Confidence and relates to my days performing a traveling medicine show in Eastern Pennsylvania. The upturned phonograph horn was part of an Edison cylinder phonograph I was given by my great aunt when I was twelve. It was important part of my evolution as I learned many vaudeville era songs by listening to the old cylinders. The smoke reference has to do with the smoke and morrors aspects of the show we performed from the back of a model T Ford.

By the way, I also made a collodion negative of that same arrangement. It is just now being released as a salted paper print next month at the Howard Greenberg Gallery (NYC) and Tilt Gallery (Phoenix)

Best regards,

Mark Osterman
