Oscar Grossheim (1862-1954), hijo de emigrantes alemanes, se inició en la fotografía como aprendiz de un estudio local a la corta edad de 15 años y pocos años después se independizó junto a su hermano para montar lo que bautizaron como el Estudio Berlín, prosperando en poco tiempo lo suficiente como para repartirse la sociedad y dedicar Oscar un edificio entero a su labor como fotógrafo, llegando incluso a desarrollar una cámara pórtatil que llamo la atención de George Eastman (Kodak), todo ello desde la pequeña localidad de Muscatine (Iowa, EE.UU.). Las aproximadamente cincuenta mil placas de cristal de su producción estuvieron durante décadas guardadas en la oscuridad de un almacén fuera del ojo público, hasta que fueron donadas a la Biblioteca Pública por un particular. La institución ha digitalizado unas cuatro mil que se pueden ver en la página del Upper Mississippi Valley Digital Image Archive.

The approximately fifty thousand glass plates of his production remained for decades kept in the dark of a an attic storage far from the public eye, until they were donated to the Public Library. The institution has digitalized four thousand of them, which can be seen in the Upper Mississippi Valley Digital Image Archive website.

Deborah Luster
Retratos de presos realizados por Deborah Luster. Tras el asesinato de su madre en 1998 esta artista tomó inesperadamente la determinación de tratar de comprender cómo la gente llega a cometer hechos como ese. Animada por ese impulso estuvo retratando a prisioneros de centros penitenciarios de Louisiana (EE.UU.) entre 1998 y 2003, reuniendo miles de negativos que sirvieron para las placas de aluminio que forman el trabajo que tituló y han sido editadas en libro como 'One Big Self', acompañadas las imágenes en su publicación de poemas de la escritora C.D. Wright. Además me llamó la atención de este excelente trabajo que hasta entonces la artista no se había interesado por la fotografía y ese fue su punto de partida.
Tintypes by Deborah Luster. After the murder of her mother in 1998 this artist took the unthinkable determination to try to understand how people come to those terms and started taking portraits of inmates in prisons of the State of Louisiana between 1998 and 2003, a collection of thousands of negatives that gave form to the work she titled and also has been published in a book as 'One Big Self', the book also containing poems by writer C.D. Wright. Really called my attention of this excellent work the artist was never interested in photography until then so it was her starting point in the medium.
