We sometimes have visitors. Courtney’s cat, Rumor, comes over during holidays or other breaks. Shall I say that Pebbles is less than happy to have a visitor, and the screen is needed to keep them separated? Amazon to the rescue!

Play Ball – 1858 Style

  • By Rob Wehmeier
  • September 6, 2024

My friend Bob invited me to come out to see his vintage baseball team, the Lemont Quarrymen. They played this Labor Day weekend at the Pullman Historic Site. This group of vintage players follows 1858 rules: no mitts, no strikes, and you be caught out on a catch after the first bounce. A very different…

My name is Rob. My journey into photography began in the early 1970s, inspired by my older brother as he developed and printed black-and-white photographs in our basement darkroom. After a challenging eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C., with a malfunctioning Kodak Instamatic 100, I was motivated to work a long, hot summer to earn enough money for my first camera, an Olympus OM-1. In 1986, while studying at Valparaiso University, I embarked on my photography career. For over 38 years, I have worked with both commercial and retail clients, driven by my passion for this art form.

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture!) is spontaneous. - Aaron Siskind, 1955
