MASTER OF CEREMONIES
In this image, the sepia tones lend an air of nostalgia to the captivating scene it captures. At the center of the frame, a circus master of ceremonies stands tall, commanding attention with his practiced poise. His posture is regal, and his raised hands seem to conduct the very atmosphere around him. He exudes an aura of confidence that hints at the captivating performance that is about to unfold.
The master of ceremonies is impeccably dressed, his attire a testament to his role as the orchestrator of this grand spectacle. He wears a tailored frock coat that drapes elegantly over his form, and a crisp white shirt adorned with a bowtie. His top hat, adorned with a decorative band, adds an air of formality to his ensemble. I
Behind the master of ceremonies, a group of distinguished gentlemen in coats and top hats form an attentive backdrop. Their presence lends an air of gravitas to the scene, as they listen intently to his every word. Gesturing with their hands and nodding in agreement, they appear to be advisors or fellow organizers of this grand circus event. Their involvement suggests a sense of unity and collaboration in the endeavor.
In the distant background, the canvas of the big top tent is unfurled and begins to rise into the sky. The framework of this colossal structure is exposed, a testament to the monumental effort that goes into bringing this spectacle to life. Workers are the unsung heroes behind the scenes, working tirelessly to ensure that the big top is raised to its full glory.
The daguerreotype captures a moment of anticipation and preparation, where the master of ceremonies rehearses his opening speech, and the gentlemen behind him offer their support. It's a glimpse into a time when the circus was a marvel of entertainment, and the dedication of those involved was the heart and soul of the show. This photograph encapsulates the magic of the circus, where dreams were woven into reality beneath the billowing canvas of the big top.

- #19, 1970s Nightclubs of Chicago South Side - Rare Vintage Silver Gelatin PrintLocated in London, GBA camera is a window through which a photographer interacts with the world, and it's up to the operator to decide whether his camera will be a barrier or a mirror between he and his subjects. In the 1970s, Michael Abramson chose the latter path when he brought his camera to Pepper's Hideout on Chicago's South Side. Following in the footsteps of his acknowledged influence Gyula Halász, a Hungarian photographer better known as Brassaï who became the pre-eminent chronicler of the Paris nightlife he loved so much, Abramson initiated himself into the nightlife of Chicago's predominantly black neighbourhoods. He was very much a part of the scene he documented on film, drinking, laughing, and dancing with his subjects into small hours and becoming as much a part of the atmosphere as the locals who frequented the same nightspots he did. - Joe Tangari (Numero Group, 2009) This series won Abramson a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1978 and launched his career as a photojournalist. Eventually the project resulted in a hardbound book, Light: On the South Side, including the Grammy and Mojo nominated album, featuring Chicago blues...Category
