Your Blues by Michael Schmelling

A collection of photographs by American photographer Michael Schmelling.

This book contains photographs taken by Schmeling of the music scene in his hometown of Chicago as a commissioned work for the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago. Over the course of 18 months, Schmeling traveled solo night after night from Chicago's basement show to the recording studio to produce this massive documentary.

At the end of the book is a newly written essay by Tim Kinsella, a member of "Cap'n Jazz" and "Joan of Arc" and a living witness of the Chicago music scene.

Limited to 800 copies.
