Thin Air

George Lottermoser

When suggested, the title, Thin Air, seemed to appear out of thin air. It had not occurred to me. I had to look it up—and found, to my sheer delight, “disappear / vanish into thin air / idiom: to appear or disappear completely in a way that is mysterious.” So. Perfect. For where I’m at as eye express and document my aging out of aliveness in this way, with these selected images.

 

George Lottermoser began his visual journey as an apprentice to the photographer, Norm Bigelow, at Broadway Studios, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1960 at the age of 14. George holds a BFA in Visual Communication, with minors in Journalism and Printmaking. He taught Visual Design for Interactive Multimedia for a decade as part-time adjunct faculty at Columbia College, Chicago, as well as numerous intensive workshops for the Mankind Project and the Center for Creative Learning. George’s work has been published in numerous periodicals and exhibited in local and regional museums and galleries, garnering numerous awards along the way.
