Carl Akeley Carl Ethan Akeley (May 19, 1864 – November 18, 1926) was a pioneering American taxidermist, sculptor, biologist, conservationist, inventor, and nature photographer, noted for his contributions to American museums, most notably to the Field Museum of Natural History and the American Museum of Natural History. He is considered the father of modern taxidermy. He was the founder of the AMNH Exhibitions Lab, the interdisciplinary department that fuses scientific research with immersive design.
Michael Abramson Michael Abramson (1948–2011) was a Chicago photographer who produced a large body of artistic and commercial photography. He earned a Bachelor's degree from the Wharton School of Business, but his life took a different direction when he was accepted at the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, and subsequently earned a Masters in 1977. His thesis, "Black Night Clubs of Chicago's South Side," was a reflection and analysis of the photographs he took of patrons and performers in nightclubs on Chicago's south side during the mid-1970s. Abramson's work has often been compared to the 1920s Paris photographer Brassaï (1899-1984). Many of Abramson's south side prints were later published in a photography book / 2 LP record set entitled "Light on the South Side" (2009), by Chicago music recording company Numero Group. The collection of music featured on the LPs are blues songs by mostly Chicago recording artists, and reflect what was actually playing on the jukeboxes in these clubs at the time. A slideshow was created using Abramson's photographs and the music from the LP.
