1968 Warren Beatty, Dark Eyes, Clyde Keller photo

Original Clyde Keller photo
Warren Beatty portrait
Dark Eyes

Featured as the cover photo on a new book entitled, "Star" about actor and movie director Warren Beatty. Authored by Peter Biskind and published by Simon and Schuster this popular 640 page biography continues to be available since its 2010 debut.

In this vintage documentary arts portrait, I captured Warren Beatty on the sidewalks of Portland adjacent to the Benson Hotel. I asked for this pose (hand on chin) with and without his wearing sun glasses. This image combines both poses so that his eyes become visible through his dark sun glasses. Since we both stood our ground this became technically feasable making for a most unusual portrait. I used a Nikon F film camera, loaded with Kodak Tri-X and equipped with a 55mm Nikkor lens. The negatives are pristine producing a sharp looking print!

1975 Oregon Symphony, Lawrence Leighton Smith, Clyde Keller photo

Original portrait by Clyde Keller
Lawrence Leighton Smith
Encore performance, Oregon Symphony
Portland, Oregon, 1975

This vintage 1975 portrait of symphony conductor and pianist Lawrence Leighton Smith (born April 8, 1936) was captured at the conclusion of an encore performance by the Oregon Symphony. Originally published in a local Portland magazine (One Dollar, edited by James Kiehl) the image proved so popular as to be used extensively (several million impressions reported) by the Oregon Symphony in their promotions for the following year.

Lawrence Smith served as music director of the Oregon Symphony between 1973-1980. As a guest conductor he has been associated with domestic and international orchestras. Here in Oregon he served as the music director of the Sunriver Music Festival for over 17 seasons.

According to Wikipedia his recordings include “The Moscow Sessions” for Sheffield Lab (for which he became the first American born conductor to conduct the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra in 1986). Sheffield lab is well established as one of the first audiophile labels to perfect the analog recording process during the digital era. As a pianist Wikipedia lists these artists he has accompanied: Franco Corelli, Sherrill Milnes, Zara Nelsova, Ruggiero Ricci, Jennie Tourel, Renata Tebaldi, Walter Trampler, and Pinchas Zukerman.

1975 photo, Atomic Reactor Core, Trojan Plant, Clyde Keller art print

Original Clyde Keller photo art print
Atomic Reactor Core
Trojan Nuclear Power Plant
Columbia River near Portland, Oregon

Interpretive art print based upon 1975 photograph

The Trojan Nuclear Power Plant was a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant located near Rainier, Oregon. Here is an imaginative view and rendering of the heart of the controversial reactor core gleaming with its nuclear class rod travel housings and exotic metallurgy. To see it in the flesh was most impressive as it strangely resembled a high tech pipe organ. My vantage point looks up at the reactor core from the floor of the pressurized containment vessel, a rare view indeed. The image was captured before the plant opened in October 1975. It operated for 16 years before it was shut down in 1993. Of note is that the cost of construction and subsequent demolition cost nearly a billion dollars in total. Its history was fraught with technical problems and safety concerns. The Trojan Decommissioning Alliance, founded by Lloyd Marbet, led the environmental opposition staging protests. Ballot measures calling for the plant's closure were defeated in 1980, 1986, 1990 and 1992 but with PGE plant operators committing to earlier retirement than the estimated 30 years lifespan or in early 2011.

1976 NYC, Shirley Chisholm Speech, vintage Clyde Keller photo

Shirley Chisholm Speech
Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm (November 30, 1924 – January 1, 2005)
New York City, July 1976

I photographed Shirley Chisholm in New York as part of my photojournalism documentary coverage of the 1976 Democratic Convention which led to the nomination of Jimmy Carter. She appeared outdoors near Madison Square Garden with an entourage of supporters speaking out for civil rights and womens rights movement issues including gay rights issues that are now embodied in the platform by the National Organization for Women

Chisholm is an important figure in American history well known for her activism for the advancement of women's issues, civil and human rights issues and for concerns for the poor. She was a Congresswoman, representing New York's 12th Congressional District for seven terms from 1969 to 1983. In 1968, she became the first black woman elected to Congress.[

1977, Frances Fox Piven, A Democratic Vision, Clyde Keller photo

Frances Fox Piven
A Democratic Vision
Glenn Beck Hate Speech Dissent Article
Photo and Article by Clyde Keller

"Democracy demands that people have some understanding of what's going on, of what there own interests are, of who their enemies are. And, moneyed propagandists have taken advantage of that to create a demonology in which it is the democratic left that is the source of all our troubles."

Francis Fox Piven on Democracy Today

Frances Fox Piven is a distinguished professor of political science and sociology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. As an educator, and author she has worked tirelessly for nearly four decades with issues concerning the poor and the disadvantaged. She is a member of the Democratic Party and has always worked within the mainstream of American politics.

Because of the recent and continuing barrage of death threats against Piven, I am offering my vintage 1976 portrait of her as someone I both admire and have followed since first meeting her in 1976. I met her withinin the framework of an event in part sponsored by the Democratic Party and in support for legislation that would have created full employment, an idea that still has merit in our current atmosphere of home foreclosures and job losses.

The "obsessive attacks" making the news are from TV commentator Glenn Beck. For nearly two years (according to Piven) Beck has falsely accused her of being a Revolutionary, Socialist or Communist, essentially scaring his viewers into believing that she must be stopped. Beck uses inflammatory, violent rhetoric and imagery comparing her to Nazis and more. He strikes fear into his viewers warning that she is trying to "crash the system" - that she is undermining American Democracy. He ignores the fact that she has devoted her life to the principle that "Democracy rests on inclusive participation by an entire population" as she has stated many times.

These attacks on Piven were recently highlighted on the Democracy Now television program in which Piven was an invited guest. She made several comments about the numerous death threats she has received since Beck began attacking her. It was pointed out that while Beck was not directly advocating violence he was literally giving his listeners the "road map" to then act against her, possibly leading to her death. These unnerving threats are published in his blog entitled The Blaze. Beck has yet to remove any of the death threats made by these bloggers as of January 20, 2011.

In her final statement on the Democracy Now TV interview, Piven clarifies what she feels is the real threat that Beck's hate speech represents.

Piven states: "Democracy demands that people have some understanding of what's going on, of what there own interests are, of who their enemies are. And, moneyed propagandists have taken advantage of that to create a demonology in which it is the democratic left that is the source of all our troubles. This is the most frightening development rather than the kind of nutty death threats. It's a rather frightening development because it raises the question of whether a democracy can survive and re-emerge with any kind of health in the face of these enormous propaganda capacities (Rupert Murdoch & Company) and in that sense it is Murdoch not Beck who is the more important target."

The idea of indirectly empowering people to acts of violence by our leaders or pundits is extremely dangerous. It has led in the past to wholesale genocide with over 50 million deaths throughout the world since the end of WWII. Genocide begins within the framework of false hate speech and the sanctioning of violence made by leaders who have ordinary people do their killing for them.

At the time of this 1976 portrait, Piven (now 78 years old) was invited to participate in a conference where the issues of full employment (Humphrey Hawkins Bill) were under discussion. She along with Michael Harrington, author of "The Other America" spoke about the plight of the unemployed. In this portrait she is addressing many hundreds of people who came to listen to her and others.

2008 Oregon Outback, On Sacred Grounds, Clyde Keller Photo

On Sacred Grounds
Oregon Outback at Summer lake
Ancient mortar and pestle in historical setting
May 22, 2008 near Paisley

An intimate photographic view of stone artifacts ( Mortar & Pestel) placed back into their natural setting at a lake shore once inhabited by the Snakes Indians (including Northern Paiute, Pitt and Shoshone) for a period of nearly 7,000 years. These semi-nomadic gatherers inhabited the Lakeview region of Oregon. Artifacts are quite similar to those displayed at the Favell Museum in Klamath Falls. Many of the examples on display at the museum were found during the foundation excavation while the facility was being built and represent works by the Klamath and Modoc indians. The volcanic materials from which these Mortars were made extend eastward into the Lakeview region. Our Mortar and Pestel came from a farm over 85 years ago (1920s) in that area. It is a particularly beautiful unspoiled example in unbroken condition.

2010 Clyde Keller protest art print, The Times they are Pathetic

The Times they are Pathetic
Original Clyde Keller protest art print, signed
Lyrics for song by Terrence E. Paupp

In this surreal, interpretive Art Print- I was inspired by prose written by my friend Terrence E. Paupp. Normally, Terry writes books about World Governance and World Peace, but with a continuing stream of dismal headlines and the feeling that our country is headed towards financial catastrophe as if we were all embarked on a doomed vessel such as the Titanic, Terry wrote this poem (or song) to relieve the stress. So, here's the inspiration which led to my own creative work in response to his sardonic lament-- and counterpoint to Bob Dylan's - Times They are a-Changin.

Lyrics:

We all live in Pathetic Times-
We share a Pathetic Culture-
We experience Pathetic Things-

We're exposed to Pathetic People-
Who are collectively headed toward a Pathetic End
And hence our lives are doomed to be Pathetic
Through no fault of our own

Chorus:

Some will say the people are myopic
Some will say the people are pedantic
Some will say they like trivial things too much
But I say they are all just Pathetic

Large Fine Art Print of Julian Assange,
WikiLeaks Founder

16x20 inch archival giclee print
Printed on Epson Satin paper
Signed/Dated and Titled on lower white border

Clear sleeved on foam core
Shipped flat, insured with delivery confirmation

Here is my homage to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who had won in the reader's poll conducted by Time Magazine as the Person of the Year. My art print incorporates public domain images and text of code from the recent Embassy Cables, in a new creative design that underscores Julian's philosophy and commitment to full internet transparency in this information age. The image doubles as one of those rare instances where my graphic approach links up with contemporary world views.

Assange is a symbol for those who yearn to live in a world free from hegemony, secrets, lies, wars and repression. His work is widely supported throughout the world (75% from December 21st Poll by ZDnet) more so than it is domestically at 51%, but the fact is that he has not been charged with breaking any existing laws throughout the world and WikiLeaks release of confidential documents is supported by every major newspaper worldwide as being in the public's best interest. In a recent article appearing in Spiegel International, Thomas Darnstadt comments that, "Since 9/11, press freedom in the West has come under attack as governments argue that national security is more important than transparency. But the hunt for WikiLeaks is a greater danger to democracy than any information that WikiLeaks might reveal."

Your beautiful photo resonated for me, connected to a documentary I just saw by Werner Herzog, Cave of Forgotten Dreams, about art work recently discovered, 35,000 years old. Your photo seems to me like a 21st century version of the cave paintings in France. Nancy McNally

"The year was 1976. I was going to visit Kesey with my pal photographer Clyde Keller. Clyde was unique... Keller created what Kesey liked best: art made magic. I never met anybody who could compress creativity into such a vital, efficient package. Clyde’s camera was a silent machine gun, he shot photos like movie directors shot film and we were soon to be off to record “Kesey World” for posterity." Mark Christensen, author of ACID CHRIST.

Another Country, surreal Clyde Keller photo art print

Another Country
Flying high over the midwest
Surreal double entendre of the absurd
WWI Aviator with goggles floating over modern jet

Another Country captures a whimsical surreal mixture of a WWI leather hand stitched Aviator's Goggle placed upon a turn of the century (@1900) porcelain bust and then set against the backdrop of a "modern" jet wing tip. The realization plays upon the absurd in a delightful double entendre. The clouds in the background were indicative of Midwest lightning storms (out of Kansas City) which caused our plane to change course to avoid them. The passenger view of the jet wing and clouds were made through my window as we sped along via Another Country of the Imagination.

This fine art quadtone print was produced from two negatives using montage techniques. The bust wearing the goggles came from an antique store in Portland, Oregon once known for its bevy of treasures- and a time capsule for great examples of Kitsch! The bust was photographed with natural window light as it was found. The image was originally used for a rock concert poster.

Customer Feedback & Commentary:

"Buff Orpingtons are extremely gentle for backyard chicken fans. They're inquisitive and friendly. We have an Orpington rooster that was recently attacked and carried off by a stray dog after defending his flock. He fought his way free from the dog and came back home injured but as gentle as ever. One can learn a lot from an Orpington, if one tries." Ken Bilderback

One of my faves... especially since I now have hens of my own. Rebecca Dresser

Beautifully detailed 24mm wide angle portrait made of literary giant, Ken Kesey captured on the day of the Kesey Poetical Hoo-Haw.

Ken Kesey is shown launching the feastivities of his Poetical Hoo-Haw before an assembled crowd of several hundred enthusiasts who proceeded to break out into a celebratory dance.(See the print entitled Hippies Dancing The B&W negative from which this print is made is in pristine condition with little if any deterioration.

"The year was 1976. I was going to visit Kesey with my pal photographer Clyde Keller. Clyde was unique... Keller created what Kesey liked best: art made magic. I never met anybody who could compress creativity into such a vital, efficient package. Clyde’s camera was a silent machine gun, he shot photos like movie directors shot film and we were soon to be off to record “Kesey World” for posterity."

Martian Dreamscape, surreal Clyde Keller photo art print

"Martian Dreamscape"
Surreal face in the rocks
Painted Hills location
John Day Fossil Beds, Oregon

My surreal art print captures the flavor of the Mars-like hills and terrain as found in the exotic Painted Hills area of the John Fay Fossil Beds of Central Oregon. Central to my composition is the suggestion of an ancient looking statuesque King Tut like face with his tunic emerging from repetitive patterns. The fun is in the imagining conjured up by my abstract illustration and letting the subconscious have free reign to discover what lies beneath the surface of this alien landscape.

This ancient scene with its myriad of surface cracks and fossils is said to be about 33 millions years old.

My surreal fine art print was produced from a single exposure with an ultra wide angle lens-- which was then flipped to create an exotic, dreamlike and otherworldly illustration.

Robert F. Kennedy, IN THE SURF, Clyde Keller RFK Photo

Robert F. Kennedy Photograph
"In The Surf"
On the North Oregon Coast with pet, Freckles
May 24, 1968

Part of the RFK Center Photo Collection

This classic documentary photo dates from near the end of the May 1968 Oregon Primary Presidential Campaign and less than a few weeks before his death at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Freckles, Kennedy's pet dog, is shown left. The entire scene has a natural pictorial look augmented by the use of a longer than normal focal length lens. I used a motorized Nikon F with an 85mm Nikkor lens; this exposure was made on Kodak Ektachrome film. The print faithfully captures the saturated, atmospheric color of the scene.
