ichael Fiedler's "Working Journal" is a unique black and white "coffee table book" featuring people in their world and with their unique stories. Nothing too unique or niche, you might think off hand, on the contrary, the journalistic photography in his documentary style is produced in black-and-white from Michael shadowing the subject at their work place. Just an ordinary day. The story, is their story in their handwriting. The marriage of the image and personal storytelling creates a moving, touching and truly collective work of art. Remembering that simple things in life, that make-up who we are, are universal regardless of geographical lines or profession. Reading the stories, you find the same passion for a baker as a truck driver. On a visit to Topeka last December, seveneightfive had the privilege of working with Michael for a week to capture some of our own local flavor. Subjects featured in "Working Journal" include Matthew Porubsky, Antwayn Hopper and two Women Who Rock: Debra Mapes and Marni Schleuning.
