The Interview:
•You've been in the entertainment biz for over 35 years. What's the story behind getting into it, and in what ways have you been involved in that scene?
I was never really into music until I was released from military service in 1964. I was dis-charged in San Francisco and went to visit some high school friends before traveling back to NY. Well long story short
I ended up staying in San Francisco and got involved in music and the business of music. I have done many jobs in music from driving trucks, mixing monitors, road manager, tour manager and the last 8 years in the business I was the head of touring for a large management company.
•Are you musical at all yourself? Do you play an instrument?
Sort of play guitar and a bit of drums and bass...
•Who have you worked with? Who has the best sense of humor?Most artistic vision? Who is the most misunderstood? Has the biggest heart?
Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Joh Mellencamp, Barbara Streisand,Van Halen, Jewel, Stevie Nicks, Dancing with the Stars, America's Got Talent are a few artists that I have worked for. I found Jewel had a great sense of humor - all of these acts had great artistic vision - large heart goes to Billy Joel and Van Halen is definitely not understood.
•All sorts of things can happen on the road. What's the craziest situation you've ever found yourself in?
I once had a gun pulled on me during a settlement - guess they did not want to pay.
•You're quite the artist yourself. How long have you been using photography to capture your experiences traveling all over the world with some of the greatest musicians ever? How does your hobby fit into your career?
My avocation has always been attached at the hip for me. On bad days I would get up early and go find some images to make - most of the time it seemed to calm me down. I get lost in making images and the world dis-appears for that period of time...
•You're obviously not paparazzi. But how do artists tend to react to you having a camera around? Ever present a problem?
Never was an issue - I think there was an understanding that I would never make anyone look bad...
•You're on the cutting edge of iPhoneography, but when did you first go from film to digital? How has that impacted your images and approach to taking them?
Made the switch around 2004 but it was a slow learning curve.Had to embrace the post capture image management which was so different from the darkroom days. I do like making images in color and then deciding if it should be black and white or color - never really had that choice in the film days until the advent of good scanning devices. Also, one can shoot many more images without having the cost of film and processing - this is huge - the only thing that matters is getting the image so why not shoot as
many as you can.
•Oh, and what, by the way, is iPhoneography? (Do you really have to have an iPhone?) What about it intrigues you, and how long have you been exploring this new medium? How'd you get into it? What makes it different from other digital photography?
Yes you do need an iphone - the idea is to use that camera and see what you can do with a low res image and the results from around the world are fantastic. It is a camera and darkroom in your pocket -
sort of similar to the old polaroid camera where you saw the image instantly. Only now you can apply image management while still in the phone, err camera....Chase Jarvis said that the best camera is the
one you have with you. I started doing iphone images as a visual diary of my travels and slowly I started to believe this was a viable alternative to the more traditional technology. As the genre grew the quality
of image also grew and I started to shoot more seriously with the iPhone. I know have an iPhone mount on my large format camera and capture images with both. Recently I started taking more traditional
large camera images and processing them through the iPad with results that I am enjoying.
•Dare I ask... Mac or PC?
MAC MAC MAC MAC MAC MAC
•You're very active on your blogs [links to both]. I noticed you have been scanning in some of your old film images of musicians from a couple decades ago. Is this part of a large project, or just something you're doing here and there?
As mentioned above I was looking for a new way to present older images, both music and other genre....Recently I made a presentation at the Apple Store in Indianapolis - they came up with a name for the presentation - 'Music and iPhone' and that triggered my thinking of using the iPad to process the older images - I am liking the results... I think this will turn in to a larger project as I continue to
shoot musical events...This week I shot Phish and on Sunday am doing an urban show at Meadowlands Stadium...Chris Brown, lil' Wayne etc...
•You're a pretty versatile photographer - people, still life, landscapes...Do you have a favorite to shoot, or is it more of a mood/opportunity thing?
Music has always been my first love. I never imagined doing landscape but over the embraced the art form in a huge way. Still Life is something I try and avoid.....
•Where is the farthest you've travelled to deliberately do some photography? What was the motivation to do that? Did the trip change you or your art in any way?
Iceland for sure....needed a drastic change of scenery - it totally motivated me in several ways. For one Iceland is 97 percent renewable energy and that made me think more of things like lights and re-cycling which is so important for the future of our planet. As well, I noticed the peaceful and friendly way the people of Iceland lived - well worth noting. On the image front the topography is so different from
anything that has ever crossed my path - i had to compensate for many new technical issues in the way I shot to properly show Iceland...this helped me immensely in my day to day work in this country. Learning new technique is always good thing.
•Your upcoming show, "Harry Sandler: Childhood and Other Neighborhoods," will be showing at 20 North Gallery from October 9 - 30. Have you chosen all the pieces for it yet? What should visitors/viewers expect?
Have not made all the choices yet. As the show is really about raising money and awareness for the homeless this show will present the challenge of presenting different images to tell the story. I look at childhood as a time for learn many different lessons and I will be mixing and matching images to tell the story of my life in image-making. I will be presenting images on canvas and more traditional
substrates that cover landscape, music, iPhone and even a few more personal black and white pieces. Basically views should be prepared for saturated color images and more bleak black and white - i think the contrast will prove interesting. I keep thinking I have had my entire life to prepare
for this so showing images this diverse fits...
•In addition to the art show, you are also teaching a class or two on iPhoneography when you're back in Toledo in October. I noticed you take time to explain your process on many of the images on your sites. Is passing on your skills and knowledge something you're passionate about? How often do you get
the chance to teach?
I feel teaching helps me close a loop in my own childhood. Without going into too much detail I had (as so many others) a childhood of being alone most of the time. No one really ever taught me what life had to offer and I learned what I learned on the streets. This is me giving back whatever I can, especially to children, to motivate individuals into understanding they can do what they want and are responsible for their own lives...I hope this makes sense....as I told 1Matters all but for inch to the left or right I cold have been homeless or worse.
•Last fall, you were with John Mellencamp on his tour which took him to the Fox Theater in Detroit, the nation's poorest city. Before the concert, you and John and several others stopped at COTS (Coalition On Temporary Shelter) in the heart of Motown, where John introduced himself and made a point of talking to each shelter resident one-on-one. What was the ride back to the Fox Theater like for you, John and the crew after your visit? Is that something you've had the chance to do a lot, or was this a relatively unique experience for you? What was the most memorable thing about your stop in Detroit?
This was a first. I always knew that this other side of life existed and have even been close at times. This trip made an indelible mark on my brain that will not go away. To see a major city in that state of decline and to see the impact on other humans was a bit to digest...Once you see that it does not go away easily...the most memorable thing was too see the spirit and dignity these people showed. With all that is happening i admired their ability to be proud, stand tall and be counted. Even talking about this now brings a chill to my body....it was all truly admirable....
•Photography and music are both powerful art forms, capable of capturing and expressing so much. Knowing you have generously agreed to donate all proceeds from both the show and the iPhoneography classes to benefit 1Matters, you clearly know art has the ability to make a positive difference. What is your history with using art for activism? Greatest example you've witnessed of "star power" helping a cause?
I have witnessed star power bringing relief while being part of Farm Aid for many many years.I have seen what can be done with a bit of social consciousness....This is the first time for me personally and I think more and more people should get involved. Without getting too political our government leaders need to get something going for so may reasons...
•What is it about homelessness (the issue 1Matters is working to solve) that resonates with you?What, besides financially benefitting 1Matters, do you hope your show in Toledo might accomplish or communicate?
I was lucky. I had some inner drive that kept me going and off the streets. As mentioned above all but for an inch this way or that way....So when I met Ken and saw what the organization was about it was
imperative to become involved. I am trying to communicate this through images that indeed everyone and everything matters - not just money, fame and fortune. Also, having worked with Don Henley for quite sometime, I admired his involvement in saving Walden Woods and Caddo Lake form being destroyed...That is 'star power' giving back not just lip service - if you talk the talk then walk the walk....simple as can be.
Photo exhibit of rock icons to aid project for homeless
BY TOM HENRY
BLADE STAFF WRITER
Harry Sandler, a veteran rock 'n' roll tour manager and photographer, will donate all the proceeds from his October exhibit at 20 North Gallery to 1Matters, an agency trying to improve living conditions for the area’s homeless. THE BLADE/JETTA FRASER
As a tour manager, photographer, truck driver, sound engineer and jack-of-all-trades in a rock ‘n’ roll career that began in San Francisco in 1964, Harry Sandler has immersed himself with some of the biggest names: Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, John Mellencamp, Harry Chapin, Billy Joel, Peter Frampton, the Eagles, the Rolling Stones, Van Halen, the Who — you name it.
And there’s a good chance Mr. Sandler’s either managed the act, photographed it, or played a role in its production.
This October, his amazing collection of photographs will be on display at 20 North Gallery in downtown Toledo, a fund-raiser for 1Matters and its efforts to improve living conditions for Toledo-area homeless people.
Mr. Sandler is donating all proceeds from that exhibit to 1Matters. Gallery owner Eric Hillenbrand likewise is donating all of his commissions.
“I thought it would be the most productive way I could contribute,” Mr. Hillenbrand said.
The gallery is at 18 St. Clair St. across from Field Third Field.
The plan is to have the opening reception on Oct. 9 in conjunction with World Homeless Awareness Day.
Back for a second year that day will be 1Mile Matters, a mile long walk in support of homeless services.
An all-day musical extravaganza called the 1Rocks — 1Matters Benefit Concert is to be held inside the Erie Street Market immediately after the walk, from noon to 9 p.m. Oct. 9.
Mr. Sandler’s Oct. 30 closing reception is tied to the final day of Tent City, the annual event in which area volunteers camp out with the homeless in Civic Center Mall near the Toledo Police headquarters and provide a variety of services while listening to live music.
Tent City is scheduled from Oct. 28 through Oct. 30.
Bruce Springsteen is among the subjects of photos taken by Harry Sandler. Others include Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Peter Frampton, and John Mellencamp, who became involved in Toledo’s tent city project last year. HARRY SANDLER
Mr. Sandler, 67, was described by an online publication last year as “one of the top tour managers in the music business.”
He attended Woodstock and had a hand in producing the largest festival to follow it, the 1983 US Festival in southern California.
While on the road, he was a frequent contributor to Rolling Stone, Circus, and Crawdaddy! magazines, among others, and shot photographs for record companies.
His many credits include a stint as tour manager of Springsteen’s The River tour and a long association with Mellencamp’s road shows, up until his unsuccessful effort at retirement in 2008. He jokes about how he has come out of retirement three times since then, but — now that he’s in his “fourth retirement” — he’s retired for good.
That is, except for a little dabbling with photography he expects to keep doing, with his sights now set on America’s national parks.
He said he was inspired by the recent Ken Burns series on them. “I’ve been around the world and haven’t seen a thing,” Mr. Sandler said. “Hotel rooms and gigs. That’s it.”
Mr. Sandler admits there were times the glamour and glitz of rock ‘n’ roll started to go to his head.
But, unlike many others who immersed themselves in the music business, he didn’t lose sight of his humble roots.
According to Mr. Sandler, his upbringing included some abuse during his formative years in Atlantic City and the Bronx, places his family moved after his birth in Tallahassee.
It culminated with a bout of drug addiction, including when he was living in San Francisco during some of the rock industry’s most pivotal moments out there from 1964 to 1967.
“I always thought of how lucky I was to survive,” he said.
Now, he said, he wants to be part of an event that gives back to those in need.
“As a nation, we don’t care [enough] about the old, the sick, and those unable to care for themselves,” Mr. Sandler said yesterday while visiting 20 North Gallery. “Many are veterans.”
And many, he said, are the kind of people who can give something back to society with a little patience and help.
“It’s the same with children,” Mr. Sandler said. “Teach them to do something and their hearts open up.”
Flanking him in the gallery were photographs on canvas he took of Roger Daltry, lead singer of The Who, and Mellencamp.
Both had paintinglike qualities to them, which Mr. Sandler attributed to a special technique that involves a creative marriage between his iPhone and more conventional photography.
Mr. Sandler said he met Ken Leslie, Tent City founder and the creator of 1Matters, while managing a Mellencamp road tour.
Mellencamp was Mr. Leslie’s inspiration for 1Matters, commenting during a 2007 concert at the SeaGate Centre how every person matters in life.
Mellencamp told his audience he was touched by the caring atmosphere he came across while visiting Tent City the afternoon of his concert. One of his assistants came back with a fistful of 70 free tickets for the homeless. The singer-songwriter from Indiana struck up a relationship with Mr. Leslie’s group after that, doing public service announcements for 1Matters and checking in from time to time.
“People will see things here that are not available anywhere else in the world,” Mr. Leslie said of the upcoming exhibit.
The music biz is in the rest of Sandler family’s blood.
Mr. Sandler’s wife, Debra Rathwell, is a senior vice president for Los Angeles-based AEG Live, the world’s second-largest music and entertainment promotion company; his son, Jesse, 37, is Bon Jovi’s production manager. Mr. Sandler’s daughter, Emilie, 24, is road manager for Mellencamp and production coordinator for Phish.

With ‘Music, iPhone & Other Neighborhoods’ music veteran and groundbreaking iPhone photographer Harry Sandler reaches deep into his archives to create a show that blends old and new visual technology. The wide range of subject matter promises the viewer a glimpse into his 45 years in the music industry, spectacular landscapes from his travel around the world, as well as a rare peek into the personal thoughts, inspirations, and humor recorded digitally, and for decades on film. Sandler’s passion for self expression through the lens is as breathtaking as it is an evocative social commentary about the things he cares most about in his past and current surroundings. The story held within his images are as broad as the subject matter. Sandler is the artist- capturing the artist during a rock icon’s blaze of glory on stage, and by doing so we get the chance to imagine what it was like to be in that exciting moment in time. His ability to capture the sensitivity of a poignant moment of loneliness in an abandoned childhood toy speaks volumes to those listening to what these images say. So many images, yet so little space here to summarize...the viewer will take away many stories from this provocative exhibit.
The careful thought put into this exhibit has yet a deeper meaning for Sandler and something he cares very deeply about. Harry Sandler and Ken Leslie, founder of 1 Matters have come together on an important issue of our times and decided to try to make a difference for the homeless during World Homeless Day with art...to learn more about Ken and his amazing work, please go to
1 Matters where you will learn that each one of us really does matter...you can also make a donation there...it’s so easy!
Because of all of the amazing work that Ken is doing, Sandler, and Stevens of Renaissance Gallery have decided to donate 20% of the total sales of the 'Music, iPhone & Other Neighborhoods’ first preview to 1 Matters!
When ‘Music, iPhone & Other Neighborhoods’ first preview comes to a close at the Renaissance Gallery, the Exhibit will move 20 North Gallery in Downtown Toledo for its main opening on October 9, 2011. This opening coincides with World Homeless Day, where there are many activities planned in the Toledo area to help the homeless with much needed services and raise awareness to those who can lend a hand during the Month of October. ALL proceeds from the sales from the ‘Music, iPhone & Other Neighborhoods‘ Exhibit at the 20 North Gallery will go to 1 Matters to help raise awareness.

iPhoneography with Harry Sandler
This week we return with another fantastic interview from American iPhoneographer Harry Sandler. A photographer and iPhoneographer, Harry teaches 2-day workshops on using your iPhone as a camera. Harry will also make a guest appearance giving an artist talk to coincide with a show of his work at the Renaissance Gallery in Carmel, Indiana, USA on the 9th of September 2011…be sure to check it out if you can! For now, here’s Harry’s take on iPhoneography!
Tell us a bit about yourself and how you got into iPhoneography
I first started with Phoneography approximately May 2008. I retired and immediately dumped my
blackberry for the iPhone – it was after that I discovered image making with the iPhone. Eerily it
reminded me of a Polaroid camera my father gave me when I was 8 years old, where I could now get
instant images but with the added ability of processing and managing the image!
What does iPhoneography mean to you? How is it different from regular photography?
For one, and this will seem repetitive, it is always with me. With immediate access to different camera
applications it gives me so many choices to capture an image.
Additionally, I use the iPhone as a ground glass for my high resolution technical camera. It keeps me
from having to remove the digital back and put on a ground glass for composition. What that means is,
I use my iPhone to see what the camera is seeing, so it basically becomes my composing screen or
viewfinder. Take a look at the image below to get a better idea of how I use my iPhone with my camera.
And of course, as a bonus my iPhone has become a visual diary.
How would you describe your iPhoneography style?
Fairly straight ahead…with a few twists and turns. I am a firm believer in not using applications for the sake of applications. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried almost every application that is out there to see what it might have to offer, and I do occasionally trip on to something that works for me, in which case I will immediately add it into my workflow.
Do you think it is important to have an iPhoneography style?
Not really – but it is important to try and find your own authenticity and to use all the tools in your repertoire to create your own image types. When I teach I stress knowing where the medium came from, and paying homage to those who came before. I believe this is important wherever your creativity lies.
What tips could you share with budding iPhoneographers?
-
•Shoot shoot shoot, play play play! To quote Malcolm Gladwell, get in your 10,000 hours learning your craft. Also make use of Facebook and other social media to study the work of others.
-
•
-
•Keep making images and learning! Get involved with other iPhoneographers, and learn from each other.
-
•
-
•It’s also very important to learn how to manage your resolution, as it is often overlooked with
-
•
-
•iPhoneographers. If you are going to print your work this becomes very important, and keeping
-
•
-
•the resolution up is not that intuitive in some apps…they put the dialog in the strangest places!
Tell us a little bit more about your iPhoneography workshops…
I hold 2-day workshops in the town of Carmel, Indiana. You can read more about them here. I teach
beginners and up but must stress that I teach photography using the iPhone not just iPhoneography.
There is a difference in my mind. I see the iPhone as a powerful and creative tool but it is just that – a
tool like any other camera. My workshops cover set-up, image making, resolution, applications, folder
structure, transfer of images, and we end the class with how to export and print the images.

Sound and vision will intersect when Harry Sandler's "Music, iPhone & Other Neighborhoods" exhibit opens Saturday at the Renaissance Fine Art & Design Gallery in Carmel.
Sandler, who's worked as tour manager for John Mellencamp, the Eagles and Van Halen, has compiled photographs from 45 years in the music industry -- including images of Dr. John, jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal and the Who.
He's also recognized as a pioneer of iPhone photography.
"It's all done inside the phone: camera and darkroom, in your pocket," Sandler told The Star in 2010.
Cynthia Layne, part of the Indy Jazz Fest Band scheduled to perform Sept. 15 at the DeHaan Fine Arts Center, will sing during Saturday's opening reception. Twenty percent of proceeds from artwork sales will be donated to 1Matters.org, an advocacy group for the homeless.

Rock and roll iPhone
By Eric DiBlasi, Jr. - eric@thebanner.com
Posted at Thursday, September 22, 2011 8:56 AM CDT
Photo provided by Harry Sandler
After spending nearly 40 years as a tour manager for acts ranging from Bruce Springsteen, JEWEL, Barbara Streisand, Billy Joel, and Eagles (to only name a few), Harry Sandler has found what appears to be a new career with his childhood and lifetime avocation, photography to include iPhone photography.
Whether he is capturing images on his iPhone, processing them on his iPad, or teaching workshops on how to do so, Sandler seems to enjoy being among those pioneering a style of photography some refer to as “iPhoneography,” a term of which he is not a fan.
“We don’t have Nikonography,” Sandler joked during a recent workshop. “Basically it is photography using an iPhone camera which has a photographic voice of its own.”
He sees it as a style of photography and not a separate art form, as the term may imply.
While shooting and processing images on a device that fits in his pocket is new to Sandler, he is no stranger to photography. His passion dates back to his first camera, an early Polaroid given to him by his father at the age of eight.
After he was discharged from the Army in the mid-1960s, Sandler spent a few years in San Francisco. It was during this time he started taking pictures of bands performing and would submit them to publications like Circus and Rolling Stone, which eventually lead to him working with the bands in the role of tour manager. And as they say, the rest is history.
During his years on the road Sandler continued taking pictures of the shows and the musicians, some of which have found their way into his work today, such as the picture of Eddie Van Halen.
“I was tour manager on the 2004 Van Halen Tour, also known as the Van-Hagar Tour, as the lead singer was Sammy Hagar-I had access,” Sandler said. “So each night I was able to photograph various parts of the show until I had an image I was happy with.”
The iPhone was still fairly new to the market during this tour, so more traditional cameras were used to capture these images; however, they were eventually processed in a non-traditional way.
“Many years later, after several years learning how to process on the iPhone and iPad I decided to process these original film images on the iPad 2, in order to create an image that conveys the power of music, particularly rock’n’roll,” Sandler said.
But it’s not only rock’n’roll when it comes to Sandler’s images, his repertoire includes streetscapes, architecture, and several landscapes from Death Valley, Iceland, Ireland, and even his old stomping grounds, Coney Island. Some his work includes old images that he has brought back to life with the aid of his iPad, while several of his images were shot and processed solely on his iPhone.
Comparing his iPhone to the modern day version of his first Polaroid, Sandler notes that being able to capture and manipulate images on an iPhone and iPad is like having a darkroom in your pocket.
“Music, iPhone & Other Neighborhoods,” is an exhibit which features over 50 works by Sandler is on display now through the end of September at Renaissance Fine Art and Design Gallery, 1 S. Rangeline Rd., Carmel. For more information visit www.renaissancefineartanddesign.com.
