Friend and fellow Kansas City  photographer, David Biegelsen, has a serious case of wanderlust. He is never really sure where he’s going, but always finds what he’s looking for. Currently, Dave has been traveling around the midwest in search of local people and their flavor. A few images from his recent trips are posted above. I’ve also posted images from his last project Sacred Spaces below.

Jaimie Warren’s book Don’t You Feel Betterpublished by Aperture in 2008, puts a huge smile on my face. It’s hard not to grin with such titles as Nose Lick, Percy’s Butt, and The Finger. Jaimie is also the creator/curator of the curious performance based program Whoop Dee Doo, a live show featuring an assortment of dancers, musicans, and performance artist. As a Kansas City based artist, Jaimie was selected as a 2009 Charlotte Street Foundation Visual Awards Fellow. Make yourself feel better and watch the videos below from previous Whoop Dee Doo shows. Wild!

I received my copy of Lay Flat 01 in the mail yesterday and can say that it was well worth the wait. I enjoy a good essay about photography as much as I enjoy a good photograph, and this has both. If you are not familiar with the project/publication take the time to check it out, and don’t forget to order a copy for your collection.

I know, it has been months. It’s not that I haven’t shot any new work, I have. I am very excited about this work and hope to share it  when further along. I need to collect more visual evidence before I announce it to the world. I will however post other images not related to “the project”. When this series of work is finished I will also give it a proper title.
I thought this would be a great time to feature other photographers working in or around Kansas City. The images above come from Deanna Dikeman’s project Relative Moments. Deanna has been shooting images of her parents and extended family since 1986. A truly wonderful series of midwestern family moments. Deanna is a recent recipient of the United States Artist Fellowship.
