  • MS-1 PART III Photographs
    MS-1: Wright Brothers Collection PART III WRIGHT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION This series includes many original photographic prints made by the Wrights from their own negatives shortly after the images were taken. The Wrights exposed at least 303 gelatin dry plate negatives in the course of documenting their process of invention. All of their glass plate negatives were given to the Library of Congress in 1949, but many of their original prints remained with the Estate of Orville Wright. Many of the Wright Brothers’ original negatives were damaged in Dayton’s great flood of 1913, when they were submerged for up to four days. The Wright State University collection includes some images for which no negatives exist at the Library of Congress and so many of these prints are unique. In addition, this collection includes hundreds of prints collected by the Wrights through their association with other aviation pioneers such as Octave Chanute, and a great variety of aeronautical prints either collected by them, or sent to them by well-wishers through the years. While the major prints exist in both collections, both the Wright State University collection and the Wright collection in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress contain many images that are unique to each collection. Wilbur and Orville Wright began photographing their experiences on the Outer Banks using a 4 x 5 inch dry plate camera. In 1902 they purchased a Korona view camera which used 5 x 7 inch dry plates. They developed their negatives and made prints in the darkroom they set up at their home in Dayton.

  • Shinola Case Study
    by Matthew Fisher & Blodwen Tarter Shinola: What’s Next for a Brand Linked to Detroit’s Manufacturing Heritage? Martin Digger had recently applied for a job at Shinola, the Detroit-based company that manufactures consumer products ranging from watches to bicycles. He was excited about the possibility of returning to his hometown to use his new marketing degree as a brand assistant. To prepare for his interview, he walked to the closest coffee shop, ordered an extra-large coffee, and opened his laptop to review the history of the firm and Shinola’s products. He was glad to see that the articles overwhelmingly praised the company. According to the Shinola website, Of all the things we make, the return of manufacturing jobs might just be the thing we’re most proud of. Shinola is founded in the belief that products should be well-made and built to last. Across a growing number of categories, Shinola stands for skill at scale, the preservation of craft, and the beauty of industry.1 Those values resonated with Martin and his hopes for both Detroit and his own work. However, Martin paused when he came across one article that was critical of the firm. Shinola’s entire presence is predicated on its ties to the City of Detroit. The justification for the cheapest men’s watch being $550? For bicycles that cost a minimum of $1,950? American manufacturing costs more. Quality materials cost more. American products are inherently worth more. Like buying a pair of Toms helps some poor Third World kid, by buying a two thousand dollar bike you’re doing your part to help rebuild a fallen American city.

È vietata ogni duplicazione, anche parziale, non autorizzata. 1 La Petite Reine «Chi si inerpica con fatica troverà, ovunque vada, ali ad aspettarlo». Henry Charles Beeching, A Boy’s Song «Questo è il futuro» dice Butch Cassidy mostrando a Etta Place dove sedersi sul manubrio della sua bicicletta. Quando B.J. Thomas comincia a cantare Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head sulle malinconiche note composte da Burt Bacharach, Butch ed Etta stanno già allontanandosi dalla fattoria in sella alla bici, lungo un sentiero sterrato. È uno degli intermezzi musicali più famosi della storia del cinema. La canzone si aggiudicò un Oscar. Quando Butch Cassidy uscì nelle sale nel 1969, la locandina ritraeva la coppia in bicicletta. Per la cronaca, Paul Newman eseguì personalmente le acrobazie sulle due ruote. L’intermezzo rappresenta un momento centrale del film: non è solo la legge a dare la caccia ai due pistoleri Butch Cassidy e Sundance Kid, ormai sulla via del tramonto; anche il futuro – simboleggiato dalla bicicletta – li insegue.

I quickly responded with a request to be considered as an attendee because while I had travelled to the park a couple of times, I had never been in the spring, and I had never been to the northern range. My initial justification for going was to experience, yet again, the beauty and diversity of ecosystems and wildlife unique to YNP. I wish I could truthfully write that I had the foresight to envision what would happen over the next year as a result of this trip, but that isn’t the case. I’m still not exactly sure how the ADP’s seminar evolved into a large JSU group returning in 2019 with the potential for subsequent groups to follow, and I have to fight myself not to overly romanticize my experiences.
