Amber & Brad in Their Garden, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, 2009, 40x32 archival inkjet print
Gardens have been a favored location. While photographing Amber and Brad in their urban garden a couple summers ago, Brad turned his video camera on us to show the apparatus of our process then posted it on YouTube.

Milwaukee Art Museum "Unmasked & Anonymous" installation view, November 2008
“This was effective in a small dimly-lit gallery where Shimon and Lindemann’s tintypes whispered across the way to ta collection of daguerreotypes and ambrotypes with which they shared affinities. Depsite their age differences–or maybe because of it–the air crackled with the electricity of their meeting.” — Sam Watson, Art Papers, January/February 2009
