Limited Edition Print Sale!!

©Aaron Nutter

Upon my vehicle inspection last week, I was told I can no longer drive my truck. The under body is completely rusted out. My truck is the only way I can travel to continue photographing. Due to numerous school loans, I can not afford to buy a new or used vehicle. I have decided to do a print sale in which all the proceeds will go towards a used car of some kind. I figure this is a way I can continue my work. Each print is limited to only twelve copies. You can buy them individually or you can purchase all three as a set.

Tower City PA

©Aaron Nutter

Tower City was founded by and named for Charlemagne Tower, a New York–born lawyer who had come to Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania in 1846 to work with the legal issues regarding land claims to large coal and mineral deposits in that area. His first Pennsylvania practice was located in Orwigsburg, and then relocated to Pottsville in 1850 when it was made the Schyulkill County seat.

Not long after Tower came to Pottsville, he began furiously purchasing and clearing liens to lands containing large anthracite deposits in and around Schuylkill County. This was part of an elaborate land grab scheme devised by Tower and his partner, Alfred Munson of Utica, NY.


©Aaron Nutter

The plan called for Tower to use his legal acumen to clear all the liens and opposing claims to the 8 thousand acre (32 km²) Munson-Williams claim, and to all the land around it. In short, the partners hoped to create a single landed estate, which would have measured 65 miles by 4½ miles (105 km by 7 km) at its widest point in southwest Schuylkill County. In return, Tower was to receive ownership and title to one half of all the land acquired once all the cost to Munson had been settled, or until Tower paid him half the value of the total land purchase.

Esther Mathis uses light not as an instrument of sight, but as a field in which she generates the loss and disappearance of her subjects, or cultivates their possible, sometimes disturbing, re-appearance. “Being blind in a white world where light does not help to see” in the fog which covers the distant subjects of remote landscapes, is a condition for the establishment of relationships, feelings, suspended participations and subtle losses of consciousness. Snow is a metaphor for solitude and the inner condition of waiting, just as the body, immersed in complete darkness, sinks into a slow and inexorable disappearance of the visible. It is to create emptiness to start all over again, or to lose oneself and disappear forever along the path of total whiteness, into abolute darkness.

Lindsay Lohan’s

Inspired in part by Lindsay Lohan’s grotesquely fascinating black hole existence and in part by my unwavering belief in the power of pop music as an artform, I saw an opportunity to create something interesting with her music, and decided to ask some friends to reinterpret some of Lindsay’s songs. “Tri Angle Records Presents: Let Me Shine for You” is the result. Even though we are all fond of Lindsay in our own ways, there is no FREE LINDSAY agenda here. We all love pop music and this is merely an experiment. All of our intentions are very sincere.

This large facility was once the largest coal breaker in the world, at one time producing 12,500 tons of coal per day. Here is a brief history of the place thanks to wikipedia.

The Old St. Nicholas Breaker, located just outside of Mahanoy City, was constructed in 1930 and began operating in 1932. Half of the village of Suffolk was relocated in order to create room for Reading Anthracite’s Old St. Nicholas Breaker, the largest coal breaker in the world. 20 miles (32 km) of railroad track were laid, 3,800 tons of steel and more than 10,000 cubic yards (7,600 m3) of concrete were used. A mile and a half of conveyor lines, 25 miles (40 km) of conduit, 26,241 square feet (2,437.9 m2) of rubber belting, 118 miles (190 km) of wire and cable and 20 miles (32 km) of pipe were installed. When the breaker was constructed it was divided into two sides. Each side could be operated independently, producing 12,500 tons of coal a day. Once the raw coal enters the production process within the breaker it took just 12 minutes to pass through the entire breaker. For 31 years, the Old St. Nicholas Breaker prepared all sizes of famous Reading Anthracite for the markets of the world.

Last Saturday I had the chance to meet with Klaus Grutzka. I was introduced by Ralph Lindsay. Klaus served in the German navy during WW2 as an engineer on a submarine. When he lived in Munich he saw Hitler twice. Klaus says he inherited his artistic talents from his father. Klaus has worked as an artist in Germany and the states. He has done art work for General Electric, Exxon, and many American Steel Company's.

all your kin have all gone on to fields all bathed in sun
and the only things left in your possession is an empty bottle and a gun
and the weekends come and go like tides and they soak you to the neck
and pretty soon the weekdays are all the same
