Pride of Milwaukee: Ganger Design

Pride of Milwaukee, overdue: Rich Koslowski

As many people know, I have read comicbooks since I was a child.  I can remember my brother Mitch subscribing to Marvel’s “Daredevil” (during the Frank Miller-era) and can recall titles that I read such as “Team America” and “Star

Pride of Milwaukee: MILWAUKEE part 2

Here’s some of what inspired that last post (Pride of Milwaukee: MILWAUKEE part 1)… -this past Saturday, Rachel and I went to the Central Library for a free “Learn Your House History” workshop.  Milwaukee’s swell librarians showed us the various

Pride of Milwaukee: MILWAUKEE, part 1

I usually use my “Pride of Milwaukee” posts to single out some person who I think needs a little more attention–people like Tim Cigelske, the Miltown Kid, Frank Ford, Nicole Reid, and Katie Donoghue.  Opening the focus a bit, sometimes these posts

Pride of Milwaukee: Diners (unpublished)

I just felt the need to provide this link for any readers who stop by and see this post. This web-gallery is full of images from a story that Tim Cigelske and I worked on together, that never saw print.

Pride of Milwaukee: Katie Donoghue/@2CentsMKE

This young woman is a “Pride of Milwaukee” mention because though I haven’t known her long, she’s already impressed me quite a bit.  She is the creator/co-publisher of 2 Cents MKE, a freelance photographer, a member of Our Milwaukee, and

Pride of Milwaukee: Nicole Reid’s “Peep Show”

Nicole Reid is a really swell woman. I met her through a friend, have known her for years, and have always found her to be helpful, generous and very informed on the art world (that’s probably due to her having

To call Francis Ford a fixture of the Milwaukee photo-culture would be a serious understatement. Frank, a Milwaukee native, has been photographing for nearly 40 years, always creating unique portraits in a style all his own. Having (in my mind)
