<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="margin-left: 4.5pt; tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt;">This group show of 21 photographers images of a single model,
Marlene Tupy, photographed at my Vision Quest workshops in the Badlands of
South Dakota and at the Trade River Retreat Center in Wisconsin are joined by
several studio photographers from the Minneapolis Photo Center to provide an
intriguing kaleidoscope of different vision, approaches and execution, all
using the same subject. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="margin-left: 4.5pt; tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt;">What artist wouldn’t like a muse - something- or better yet
someone - outside of them selves to provide creative inspiration. At best, it’s
a romantic notion that we are not responsible for our own creativity and at
worst it is giving power over your creativity to unseen or uncontrollable
forces, again absolving ourselves of responsibility to our own creative forces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="margin-left: 4.5pt; tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt;">The myth of the muse persists throughout the ages. Marlene
embodies this classic notion of muse: beautiful, remote yet approachable,
off-beat personality, fiercely intelligent, engaging yet emotionally
unavailable. The perfect artist’s gift: totally present and at the same
time inaccessible. Unlike most
models, she does not use the gaze of others to reaffirm her self-worth, her ego
remains healthily detached from our results. Marlene deeply cares to
collaborate and inspire the art of others and unlike most objects of beauty,
she knows that it’s not really about her but you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="margin-left: 4.5pt; tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt;">As photographers we think we’re ‘capturing her essence’ (a
phrase I think should be banished from our vocabulary) or at best feel we are
conveying something about who Marlene is, but really we are revealing more
about ourselves. We are using the external, her physical form, as a catalyst
for our own internal artistic exploration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt;">At age 52 Marlene continues to captivate the attention of
photographers, who are often criticized for only portraying youth. It is both a
tribute to her and way of showing that art is not what you see but how you see.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">She
was born in the still swollen heat of the month of the Lion, stunned by her own
ferocity, humbled by her gift of silence.
A guiding visual voice creating sense & nonsense, a mirror reflecting
harmony and contrast from which comes beauty & sorrow, balance &
imbalance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Her
presence reveals the secret without involving herself in what is before
her. Recording, in image, what the
artist must remember. She reminds
them of what they need before they find it or, before they lose it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">She
is a thought, a look, a gesture arranging sensibility or, unleashing reckless
abandon. The muse and the artist
become one. They are one, they
always have been one? She is a
guiding genius, an illusion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Her
anonymity intensifies a sensual, sometimes erotic effect. Her body sculpts gradual deliberate
unfolding of ideas. Alone in her
strength and the ever shifting movement of the lines that form her, she engages
the viewer. A concrete, yet
abstract sculpture suggesting structure & limits, igniting spontaneity
& experience. Each event is a
unique detector of truth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Is
the muse, with her gift of meaning and fascination the seducer or, the seduced?
She holds a secret. The secret is in her presence; the
secret is in her eyes.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The concept of the Muse is a dangerous one. It is steeped in the notion of the
chosen artist, that only those worthy of the Gift will have it breathed upon
them. It carries with it certain
advantages though. For when we
cannot touch pen to paper, or brush to canvas, because the well we draw from
feels dry as bone, we can blame her.
We can channel our frustration at her, shaking our fists in anger at the
sky, proclaiming, “if only!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But for every artist who has professed to have tasted the
sweet kiss bestowed upon them by the Muse, there are countless other, silent
voices who wander in obscurity feeling abandoned, yet blameless. For like a young lover who feels they
have been slighted by their partner, it is easier to contest that there is no
spark, no chemistry, no magic.
When what is really at the heart of it all is an unwillingness to put in
the labor. While it may be that
the most magical of artistic expressions come in the form of effortless bliss,
these fleeting moments are, in fact, the sum of countless others filled with
toil, sweat, tears and intense personal sacrifice. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, while the obvious danger in waiting for the Muse to
speak to you is never moving forward, there also lies the danger of losing
awareness of the role that one’s self plays in the euphoric moments of success
and release. So, perhaps, it is
best if we discard the notion of waiting for a mythical spirit to fill us to
the point of bursting, and instead infuse ourselves into our work, our labor,
our love, our world.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1995540875156691113" name="_GoBack"></a></div>

</div>Brett Kosmider of Boreal Sky made this <a href="http://vimeo.com/35243860">video</a> of me at my Saint Paul home and while teaching a photo workshop at the Trade River Retreat Center (my cabin) in NW Wisconsin. I think he did a great job of both filming and editing but even more importantly in portraying the spirit of what my teaching is about. I hope you will take a look and let me know what you think...<div><br />
</div><div>Brett is also the editor and first camera operator of the Vinyasa Yoga video I directed for <a href="http://www.amypatee.com/">Amy Patee</a>. See a preview <a href="http://vimeo.com/22927908">here</a>.</div><div><br />

</div></span></b></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-weight: normal;"><div style="font-family: Helvetica;">We saw some excellent photographs but also noted some common problems. Many of the applications had good individual images but did not present a cohesive body of work. Others had convoluted or hard to decipher artist statements with a lot of 'art speak' that used art-world terms that made little or no sense or had any real meaning. Remember - jurors are reading multiple statements and the more succinct and easy to understand the better. We also had to disqualify a number of people for not following directions: some artist's statements were way too long and exceeded the 500 word limit, some forgot to send required documents. It is a good reminder of how important attention to detail is in our artistic life; not just in our imagery but in all that we do.</div></span></b></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br />

Here are some iPhone photos showing <a href="http://www.linden-centre.com/">The Linden Center</a>, our home in Xizhou, China for the "Spirit of the Middle Kingdom of China" workshop.<br />
<br />
Yunnan Provence is truly one of the most incredible places I have ever been and I made more photos there in SW China than I have anywhere in a long time. Plans are already underway to repeat this workshop next April but it will probably fill fast as several people have already requested space, so let me know if you want me to hold a spot for you. Please consider joining us then for an unforgettable adventure.<br />
<br />
To see any of the photos larger click on image but please go to their <a href="http://www.linden-centre.com/">website</a> to see much better photos than my iPhone snapshots! I will try and post some of my B&W photos made on medium format film as they are available in the coming months...<br />

Here are a few iPhone photos from my workshop in SW China. I also shot almost 40 rolls of 120mm TriX but you (and I) will have to wait to see those until after the film is processed!<br />
<br />
It was an amazing trip and The Linden Center in Xizhou was an incredible place for our workshop to land after several days of traveling thru the dramatic mountains.<br />
<br />
If you want to see any of the photos larger just click on the image.<br />

A Japanese poem found on the back of one of my old T-shirts at the cabin this past weekend:<br />
<br />
<br />
Love<br />
<br />
Like a<br />
<br />
Half pint<br />
<br />
Of tequila<br />
<br />
Coursing<br />
<br />
Through My<br />
<br />
Soul<br />
<br />
<br />

In January I gave a talk about my photography at the New York Open Center in Midtown Manhattan, where I was also teaching a <a href="http://vqphoto.com/2011/zen-opencenter/">Zen & the Art of Photography</a> workshop. In attendance that night was Heather Willems, once a photo assistant I worked with on a large annual report travel assignment several years ago. She was and still is a very talented <a href="http://www.heatherwillems.com/">photographer</a> but she is now also doing '<a href="http://www.imagethink.net/">graphic recording</a>' of meetings and events for numerous corporate clients and events. During my slide show/lecture she made the amazing graphic drawing above, taken from her imaginative interpretation of things I said, images I showed and questions people asked.<br />
<br />
Here is a link to her <a href="http://www.blog.imagethink.net/line-by-line/2011/1/24/zen-and-the-art-of-photography.html">Line By Line</a> blog.<br />

The Twin Cities Public Television series <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">mn</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">orignal</span> did an artist's profile on me that aired earlier this summer. We spent an interesting afternoon together late last winter, with the small crew doing an interview in my home and then driving around together looking for something for them to film me making photographs of. If you missed it you can view it on their <a href="http://www.mnoriginal.org/art/?p=1845">website</a>.<br />

It is very sad to announce the passing of a dear friend of Vision Quest Photo Workshops, Dave Kemmerling. Dave died last Tuesday July 20th, 2010 at the age of 50 after a long battle with depression.<br />
<br />
He was our male model at numerous workshops including at least 4 of our annual <a href="http://vqphoto.com/2011/dramatic-portrait/">Dramatic Portrait: People and Nudes in the Badlands</a> in South Dakota as well as in Door Co, WI and recently at the the Mpls Photo Center in Minnesota.<br />
<br />
Dave was very passionate with all he approached in life. He had an admirable sense of integrity and full commitment to anything that he chose to take on.<br />
<br />
His <a href="http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/startribune/obituary.aspx?n=david-john-kemmerling&pid=144309418&fhid=4454">obituary</a> and details of his memorial service on Tuesday afternoon July 26 can be found in the Star Tribune.<br />

</div>There is a photographer <a href="http://www.michaeldonnorphotography.com/">Michael Donnor</a>, that I would like to introduce you to. I first met him as one of my students at Santa Fe Workshops in NM while he was still in college. He then came to the annual Badlands SD figure workshop the summer after graduation. Coming full circle, our next encounter was as my class assistant for <i><a href="http://vqphoto.com/2010/zen-santafe/">Zen & the Art of Photography</a> </i>in Santa Fe. He is a great guy and it is no wonder he did so well there that they have asked him back to teach a <a href="http://www.santafeworkshops.com/workshops/calendar-detail.php?workshop=521">B&W workshop</a> for young photographers this summer. Congratulations and continued success Donnor!<br />
<br />
Michael's photography has been evolving steadily as well. He is dedicated to his craft yet has a unique style (not just a platitude but his style actually <i>is</i> unique!) and has an energetic vision that is well worth checking out. Here is a link to his<a href="http://www.michaeldonnorphotography.com/"> website</a>.<br />
<br />
He has also opened <a href="http://www.redhousedarkroom.com/index2.php">Red House Darkroom</a> in a barn on his family's land outside of Buffalo, New York. He specializes in custom hand-made wet darkroom prints and is quickly developing a reputation for quality with a nationally recognized client base.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple samples of his photography, but do go to his website to see more.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On the last page of the March issue of PDN which I mentioned in my previous post there was also a short article about my experience with one of my favorite photographers and brother-from-another-mother Franco Salmoiraghi, of Honolulu, HI. Although an extremely prominent artist, widely collected, exhibited and published, he does not promote himself and still stubbornly resists even having a website. "Why would I want to do that! That way, people might find me. I'm still in hiding." His lack of ego and self-promotion is refreshing. He continues to explore new boundaries in a new project which is a color series of clouds and sky. You can see some of his work from the Big Island of Hawaii below, including an image from the sky series. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

As the sole judge in the photo category this was an overwhelming task with over 1,100 entries that needed to be narrowed down to just 107. That’s less than nine percent of the entries making the cut! Although honored to have been chosen to be the judge this year, it is made even more difficult because I was suffering jet lag after returning from Italy late the night before. Walking through the room with the photos laid out on the floor along the walls told me there was going to be a lot of very enticing images to have to choose from but also that many will be easy to eliminate. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">With the help of several volunteer assistants, my first undertaking is to remove as quickly as possible all entries that are visually or technically poorly executed. This is to avoid further visual overload and to save energy for the hard choices I know lay ahead. Poorly executed unfortunately often means very bad digital printing. With good Epson photo printers starting under $200 it is probably more due to lack of experience and judgment discerning print quality than a technical issue. I also try and look closely at the small prints that seem well executed so they don’t get lost among the giant oversized works that scream out at you. Small intimate works can easily get overlooked and I really try and see the intent and value in each piece. Almost half the photos have now been sent away!<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">Usually I also take into account presentation but have been asked to overlook matting and framing choices, since not everyone can afford that and to base my choices purely on the photograph itself. This is the only guideline I have been given by the State Fair. I try, but much of the wildly ‘creative’ framing and colorful mats, carefully chosen to match the colors in the photo and often double or triple matted really get in way of the photograph. I wish people realized how distracting this is and how much it detracts from, rather than enhances, their image. If only they could visit a few museums or galleries that are not in malls and that don’t start with “Thomas” or end with “Kinkade” or that don’t feature duck art, I think it might really help. Access to real galleries is where people who live in the metro area have a distinct advantage over the rural population. A mediocre photograph is not made any better by a colorful mat and ornate frame. It is in fact, much worse, sometimes even offensive. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">My next task was to eliminate typical or trite responses to cliched subjects. Way too many cute kittens, cute kids and old barns. I have nothing against kids, kittens or nostalgia but cute gets old quickly when looking at over 1,100 framed images and nostalgia doesn’t replace vision, craft, soulfulness or insightfulness. Cute or nostalgic simply aren’t enough to carry a photo under this level of competition. Use that as a starting point in going deeper and maybe we are getting somewhere. And if you are going to choose subjects, including flowers, that many others are going to submit nearly identical versions of, please try and find a more unique or personal way of interpreting your subject. I suggest to my very helpful assistants that they should consider having a whole separate exhibit, hopefully in a building far away, for the hopelessly cute including any photo where your first reaction is “awwww”. It would probably be a very popular State Fair destination but you won’t find me there unless there is something very tasty on a stick on the other side and no other way to get there.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">Another category with a lot of entries is travel. These span the globe from nice vacation snapshots to some very insightful beautiful photographs. I feel bad eliminating anyone’s favorite travel shot or the amazing sunrise or sunset because I love that they stopped and noticed. I know their friends or relatives told them it was a great shot and I’m sure the experience of being there was great but it is usually the place or moment that is significant, not their photographic record of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The choices of what to eliminate so far have been fairly easy and instinctual and I am confident in my choices. From previous experience, I know that now the real work begins…<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">My criteria for selection includes concept, execution, creativity and exemplary implementations of a wide range of styles or genres. The most important criteria for me is emotional impact: what makes the viewer think, or even better, feel. That quality of ‘emotional impact’ is, of course, completely subjective and up to me to interpret. I try to be as objective as possible while also fully realizing that true objectivity is impossible. I recognize many of the photographers by style, content or because they have signed their name on the front. Many of these people are my friends, my colleagues, my students. How can I be objective about someone’s photo when I know their strengths and weakness, their vulnerabilities, their struggles, their growth and compare that to the photo of somebody I don’t know? I <i>try</i><span style="font-style:normal"> to be objective but I simply don’t think it’s possible, at least for me. It was much easier when I judged shows in Alaska and Hawaii where I didn’t know hardly any of the photographers. I think maybe the State Fair should bring in judges from outside Minnesota to avoid this dilemma. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">Jurying is mostly selection by elimination. I need to take into account balancing how many images in a given genre (i.e. nature, wildlife, documentary or digital composite) are accepted so the exhibit shows a balance and range of different methods of working with the medium and ways of seeing. In the end it is more about trusting my instincts, but there still is a lot of second-guessing myself. In the final selection there are a few that didn’t make it that now, in retrospect, I think should have. If your photo was rejected please know that it was definitely one of these. There are also a couple I think now, in retrospect, shouldn’t have made it in and I agonize over these decisions. Another day or another time there might be different choices but that is always the case. Today I stand by these choices. I also feel for all those that chose to honor moments in their lives by making a photograph. Who am I to now diminish that moment by saying it’s not good enough to stand with these other moments submitted by those more accomplished, more experienced or more sophisticated photographers or alongside the hundreds of professional and commercial photographers who also chose to enter the fair?<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">Now we are down to at least 250 or 300 photographs, all strong and all very deserving of a place in the show. And I have to still eliminate two thirds of these! If you have made it this far you should know that your work is good but there simply isn’t room to include all of these in the show. To narrow it down to 107 it is no longer about what is better than something else but what appeals to me at this time, this day, this point in my life, my career. But are these really the ‘best’? No, there is no such thing in art. These are my favorites and I leave it at that. It also becomes about having a well-rounded show with many styles and genres represented.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">Picking the first through fourth place and merit awards is by far the hardest part of the day for me. With jet-lag swirling through my body and the sensation of my blood turning to cement I am temporarily unable to continue. I ask that all possible candidates for awards be lined up against the back wall but I simply can’t choose. I want to just give them all an equal designation of ‘my favorites’ and walk away, but winners must be chosen. The task is made harder and more complicated by the fact that I know at least half of the award contenders personally and a couple of them are very close friends. I consider eliminating any awards to friends. I consider only giving friends ‘honorable mention’ status. But either of these choices would be doing their work and them a disservice. I walk away again to try to clear my head and gather energy. When I return I talk with the exhibit director and with several of my helpers about my dilemma in making awards to friends. They both help me realize that I just have to give the awards to what I feel is the strongest and most powerful work, no matter whose it is. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">Even though overall I love my choices, I am haunted by a couple images that made the final cut that I let outside factors influence me (who they are, what their previous work is like, their standing in the photo community) and a couple that didn’t make it in that I think I made a mistake on. When I go back the next day I tell the Fine Art committee I think have made a mistake at the last minute by impulsively, under pressure, cutting the photo of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>a man with a red white and blue straw hat the says “Made In China” on it. Is this photo ‘better’ than many of the other much more ‘fine art’ photos rejected? No, but it has made an impact on me and it is one I want others to see, probably more for the wry political commentary than anything artful, yet it is well done technically and aesthetically. They let me add it back in! Now we have 108, what some say is a auspicious number; the same as the number of prayer beads on a Tibetan Buddhist mala. Perfect.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">If your photo didn’t get into the State Fair Fine Arts Exhibit it is important to remember that less than one out of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>eleven photos were accepted, due to space limitations. It was the highest number of entries ever. Out of the eleven hundred images, many by well known artists and accomplished professionals, I thought there were about three hundred strong enough to be in the show and still only one third made it in. Your job is to make it to that top three hundred. If you didn’t make it that far (and I wish there was a way for people to know) you probably need to work on developing your vision and craft. If you did make it into that top three hundred, from there it is up to the taste and whims of the judge. There are many factors that influence the judging that have nothing to do with the quality or artistic merit of your work: the judge’s taste, how many similarly themed entries there were, the need of the judge to create a well rounded show reflecting many sensibilities. There were some very good photos that didn’t make the final cut and every time I had to eliminate one of these it hurt. Undoubtedly there were also excellent entries that somehow got overlooked in the chaos of the sheer mass of submitted images (or the apparent blindness, ignorance or poor taste of the judge). I think it is the job of the photographer to submit a photo with a strong enough vision coupled with a high level of execution to be in the top tier but also true to the photographer’s individual vision. Submit images that you feel most passionate about, not ones that you think will get in. From there it is anybody’s guess as to the whims of fate that year… <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><br /></p> <!--EndFragment-->Douglas Beasleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02586002364514351240noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995540875156691113.post-55798829066844598552009-04-10T11:01:00.011-05:002009-04-10T11:47:29.572-05:00Video on Badlands exhibit opening<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFUFNgkT0A0IlCJ_kcmQEh55NN6KW6SvGGOw0RDZj0AxilpWGTix0IBThgNjmEThsmXJeZ7udlN6d9U43OoU_zUilt5HDaQGNs2KHlWglPMfFNDmg3UgCMh4aByCMHgATbh-CrHYp54GE/s1600-h/Beasley04.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 398px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFUFNgkT0A0IlCJ_kcmQEh55NN6KW6SvGGOw0RDZj0AxilpWGTix0IBThgNjmEThsmXJeZ7udlN6d9U43OoU_zUilt5HDaQGNs2KHlWglPMfFNDmg3UgCMh4aByCMHgATbh-CrHYp54GE/s400/Beasley04.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323104628033933890" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">"Jesse, Badlands, S.D."
