Michael Wilson’s The Day of Small Things
April 6, 2009 by Michael Winters
The mailman kindly brought me a very nice postcard a couple days ago, sent from my photographer friend and hero Michael Wilson. You might be most familiar with Michael Wilson's photographs of musicians. He's done most of the album art for Over The Rhine and has photographed all kinds of famous musicians like Wilco and B.B. King. He made my favorite little art photography book (I See That Hand). Also, he was one of the first artists we showed at the 930 and he'll have another exhibit at the 930 this fall.
But the big news with his work right now is that he's got a mid-career retrospective called 'the day of small things' showing at the Weston Gallery in Cincinnatti's Aranoff Center. It opens April 10th and there's a gallery talk May 6th.
I'll be checking it out soon and will write up a response - glowing with appreciation I'm sure.

Once again, Michael Wilson blows me away with his talent and beautiful photography. There is something unmistakably wonderful about his work, Michael Wilson is true Cincinnati treasure...a must see for sure. I heard through the vine that he is offering portrait sessions out of his Cincinnati studio?
