July 2009 Bill Steber
(Tue. July 7th, 6:00 PM at the Otter Creek Church in Brentwood) Bill Steber Photographer Bill Steber, who hails from Grinder's Switch, TN., is a 3rd-generation veteran of the Tennessean newspaper. He worked for the photography department for 15 years, leaving in 2005 to pursue a freelance career. Since 1992, Steber has been documenting blues culture in Mississippi from juke joints to artist portraits to river baptisms and tent revivals. He will be speaking about the lessons he learned from working in Mississippi over the past 17 years, personally, creatively, photographically, musically, and professionally while showing some of the thousands of black and white Hasselblad images he found there. He will also show recent work exploring the 19th century wetplate process, including tintypes, ambrotypes and glass negatives and well as answering questions about the process and the challenges of long-term documentary work.
