In this episode of Platemark, I talk with Mae Shore, a collaborative printer and owner of Shore Publishing in Tuxedo Park, New York. Mae shares her experiences working at Pace Editions with notable artists like Jim Dine and Chuck Close. She discusses the history and evolution of her gallery and print shop, which she established to merge her love for printmaking and curating exhibitions. Mae touches upon specific projects, such as her collaborations with artists like Amy Bennett, Kamrooz Aram, and Katia Santibañez and James Siena, detailing the unique processes and challenges in creating prints. The conversation also highlights the importance of print fairs, the nuances of printmaking, and Mae's backstory growing up in New York City's SOHO and Tribeca neighborhoods. Mae's reflections offer a compelling glimpse into the meticulous, collaborative, and often experimental world of printmaking. Episode image: Greg Dohler Amy Bennett (American, born 1977).

Philandering husband Edwin Main Post found himself blackmailed by a scorned mistress who threatened to go public with their affair unless he paid her and her publisher to stay silent. This is a story about blackmail, yes, but it isn't actually a story about Edwin, not really; this is the story about how his wife, Emily Price Post, suffered the humiliations of his actions and the blackmail that ensued, and then rose above it. Let's hop back to Manhattan during the Gilded Age for this story of adultery, blackmail, and bestselling books about etiquette.

In such spirit was this book written.[24:38] The essence of civilization is the transmission of the findings of each generation to the next.[29:00] This is not a call for optimism, it is a call for determination.[31:12] It is pleasant to turn to situations where conservatism or lethargy were overcome by farseeing, energetic individuals.[31:34] People are really a power law and that the best ones can change everything. —Sam Hinkie[33:46] There should never be, throughout an organization, any doubt as to where authority for making decisions resides, or any doubt that they will be promptly made.[34:32] You can drive great people by making the speed of decision making really slow. Why would great people stay in an organization where they can't get things done? They look around after a while, and they're, like, "Look, I love the mission, but I can't get my job done because our speed of decision making is too slow." — Invent and Wander: The Collected Writings of Jeff Bezos by Jeff Bezos and Walter Isaacson.(Founders #155)[38:36] Rigid lines of authority do not produce the best innovations.[38:42] Research projects flowered in pockets all around the company, many of them without Steve's blessing or even awareness.They'd come to Steve's attention only if one of his key managers decided that the project or technology showed real potential.In that case, Steve would check it out, and the information he'd glean would go into the learning machine that was his brain. Sometimes that's where it would sit, and nothing would happen. Sometimes, on the other hand, he'd concoct a way to combine it with something else he'd seen, or perhaps to twist it in a way to benefit an entirely different project altogether.This was one of his great talents, the ability to synthesize separate developments and technologies into something previously unimaginable. —Becoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart into a Visionary Leader by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli (Founders #265)[40:56] He was so industrious that he became a positive annoyance to others who felt less inclined to work.  —Pulitzer: A Life in Politics, Print, and Power by James McGrath Morris.

(Founders #138)[48:21] Difficulties are often encountered in bringing an invention into production and use.[48:47] An invention has some of the characteristics of a poem.It is said that a poet may derive real joy out of making a poem, even if it is never published, even if he does not recite it to his friends, even if it is not a very good poem.No doubt, one has to be a poet to understand this.In the same way, an inventor can derive real satisfaction out of making an invention, even if he never expects to make a nickel out of it, even if he knows it is a bit foolish, provided he feels it involves ingenuity and insight.An inventor invents because he cannot help it, and also because he gets quiet fun out of doing so.Sometimes he even makes money at it, but not by himself. One has to be an inventor to understand this.One evening in Dayton, I dined alone with Orville Wright.During a long evening, we discussed inventions we had made that had never amounted to anything. He took me up to the attic and showed me models of various weird gadgets.I had plenty of similar efforts to tell him about, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.Neither of us would have thus spilled things except to a fellow practitioner, one who had enjoyed the elation of creation and who knew that such elation is, to a true devotee, independent of practical results.So it is also, I understand, with poets.[51:28] Against The Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #200)[52:21] When picking an industry to enter, my favorite rule of thumb is this: Pick an industry where the founders of the industry—the founders of the important companies in the industry—are still alive and actively involved. — The Pmarca Blog Archive Ebook by Marc Andreessen. (Founders #50)[57:18] If a company operates only under patents it owns, and infringes on no others, its monopoly should not be disturbed, and the courts so hold. An excellent example is Polaroid Corporation. Founded by Edwin Land, one of the most ingenious men I ever knew (and also one of the wisest), it has grown and prospered because of his inventions and those of his team.[1:00:46] I came to the realization that they knew more about the subject than I did. In some ways, this was not strange. They were concentrating on it and I was getting involved in other things.[1:01:31] P.T. Barnum: An American Life by Robert Wilson.

The Dog Show Drive Episode 67 - Wayne Cavanaugh & Will Alexander Today they discuss the history of our sport through the eyes of the lens of the wonderful Tuxedo Park, Somerset Hills, Westchester weekend. Waynes old stomping grounds.

IKC “Phoenix Rising” Blends History into the Future Scott Pfeil and Erika Wyatt join host Laura Reeves to share their excitement about the International Kennel Club of Chicago's new shows. IKC was a privately owned kennel club founded in the early 1900s. When the club's owner, Lou Auslander, passed away in 2018, more than 100 years of tradition came to an end. Scott Pfeil and Erika Wyatt have taken on the challenge of resurrecting the “Phoenix from the ashes” and creating a new breed of dog show – embracing history while building the future. “I started when I was a kid showing dogs,” Pfeil said. “It was just the most iconic show to me. You know, there are very few really iconic shows. You always go to the Garden. It was some of those experiences, like Tuxedo Park. It was that emotion that got me. How do we bring something like that back? This was something that meant something to somebody. “Chicago is an amazing city and we've lost our Inner City shows, they just don't exist anymore. And when (IKC) went away, to me, it was heartbreaking. (The show) was exciting because the people were excited. The energy in the room was like, you couldn't believe it. And simply, that's why. It's that excitement. That is why we're putting our asses on the line here, just to make sure that we can bring something like this back to one of the greatest cities in the world, as far as I'm concerned.” “It will not be benched,” Wyatt said. “The dates of the show will be Aug. 25-27, 2023 at McCormick Place. We looked really hard at (benching). Historically this has been a huge spectator show. Throngs of families from Chicago come through this show. We wanted an opportunity for the public to become educated, be able to actually see breeds of dogs, put their hands on breeds, learn about breeds and we didn't think that in today's climate that benching was the best avenue for that. Meet the Breeds “So instead, we are partnering with AKC and we're holding a full-blown Meet the Breeds within the show. I think this will keep the show dogs that have just been groomed and their handlers not being interfered with. And it will give the public the opportunity to come and see dogs, get information and learn about purpose-bred dogs. It will be a better experience for both exhibitors and spectators. “We wanted to do something with an open show because we want to give people with foundation stock service and miscellaneous class breeds the same opulent stage that the recognized breeds get. “We wanted to do something to recognize owner handlers because there are so many owner handlers out there, and owner handlers deserve to be recognized for the fabulous contribution that they make this sport. And we wanted to have a special award to recognize a special dog in Chicago at the Chicago show.” Chicago Challenge Cup Winner of the Chicago Challenge Cup will receive $20,000, with an additional $5,000 donated to a charity of their choice. “How do I know I've put on a great show?” Scott asked, “When all the great dogs are there. “How do we do that and how do we bring them together? I think this competition really allows that to happen. In a nutshell, it's all of the winners of the FSS group, of the Miscellaneous group, of the owner handled groups and of the regular groups over the three days in Schaumburg (IKC's January show in Schaumburg, IL). So, if you win any of those groups, on any of those three days, you're going to get a certificate that's going to invite you to participate in the semifinals of the Chicago Challenge Cup. “Canine Chronicle is partnering with us to also invite the top 10 dogs in each regular group for the first half of the year.”

A friend recently told me that as she ages she feels invisible. That no one looks at her as she walks on the street or as she comes into a restaurant. I was floored by the comment. Really? I think that happens when you give up and wear black leggings and an oversize shirt; which is like hiding from the world. Making an entrance is about attitude. And a touch of red lipstick. Right? Because this newsletter is a diary and because well, because I can, today's missive is going to be a little bit about me. And the reasons why entertaining and hosting have always had such an impact in my life. As I write this, I am sitting in my library in Charleston, SC looking at hundred-year-old camellia bushes in bloom. Heaven. I live in a historic 1769 Charleston Single that I bought in 2019. Yes, I got really lucky with this real estate transaction. I moved to the Holy City after having lived in Greenwich, Palm Beach, and New York. At different moments in time, I also had houses in Tuxedo Park and Southampton, NY. Born and raised in Madrid, Spain, I went to boarding school in England for five years and then back to Madrid where I worked in PR and fashion. In my early 20's I moved to New York and never looked back. I have been so fortunate to have met wonderful people along the way who encouraged and supported my entrepreneurial spirit. From creating a line of men's bathing suits to writing entertaining books to Liberty fabric-lined towels and hostess skirts, even custom plates and napkins, I have thought it out and created samples, and proposals. Endless samples and lots of proposals. In my late thirties, without really having any professional background or real knowledge, I started writing about food and entertaining at home. My articles and photographs were published in the Palm Beach Daily News and Cottages and Gardens Publications. After that, I wrote for Town & Country, Food & Wine, Veranda, and many other magazines and newspapers. I have also self-published 2 entertaining books and collaborated with a few others that are still in print. In 2012, I moved with my children to Connecticut and started a gourmet food company called Victoria Amory & Co (VA&Co), and after a couple of years stint at HSN, I created a line of artisanal condiments that sold in most of the high-end specialty food stores across the US and Canada. Even Harrods in London carried my products! I closed it after 5 very hard years and a brutal divorce. My entrepreneurial spirit was crushed. Well, not totally crushed but after so many bad decisions and mistakes, I have finally learned what I need to look for in my next chapter. Now that I live in Charleston, where food, entertaining, and hospitality are the heart and soul of the community, I am continuing with my career and my life. I write for The Epoch Times a bi-monthly column, and this newsletter (which I love) and am now starting a video streaming project for Kittch. I also collaborate with brands like Antonius Caviar to help them spread the word (and their products!) Phew! A few years ago I was asked to give a talk about entrepreneurship and what I had learned and so, I am passing along these few pearls of wisdom: Making money is incredibly difficult. Yes, it is all about the money. Do not work alone. Partner or collaborate. It is impossible to do everything and know everything that needs to be done. Having someone with whom you can exchange ideas, talk things through and use their skills collectively is essential. Even though creative people don't like to do this, have a plan. It doesn't have to be a 15-year detailed analysis of the industry but a well-thought-out “elevator pitch” and a sentence or two on what exactly you want to do will make you look professional and pulled together. Furthermore, it will make it easier to explain to your friends. Go for it. And go for it and then, even more, go for it again. Consistency is key. Take deep breaths, do what you love, and love what you do. And give yourself time and space. As they say, “Rome wasn't built in a day”. It is going to take time. P.R. is not just about the press, it is also making sure that all your friends know what you are doing. Go out and tell the world. Making connections and networking is hard without being pushy and obnoxious. Beware of overdoing it as it will backfire.Rely on and accept the help of family and friends. Not just with funding but with spreading the word and promoting. If they don't support your project, it won't work. Seriously, if your best friend or your mother is not willing to pay for what you have to offer, who will? That show of support is one of the first questions that you'll be asked when you raise money. Yes, creating a community and a platform is essential for the success of your project ….And so, as I learn new systems and continue spreading the word of charming and elegant entertaining and share recipes and ideas and bits of wisdom I wonder… Am I crazy? At my age? But my spirit has not been broken and my passion for food, entertaining, decor, and style is actually even more focused and clear. I guess with age does wisdom come. And that is the point of my diary today: as women, we play so many roles, daughter, wife, mother, colleague, mentor, sister, and friend. We nurture and create lives around us. We empower and encourage our children. We support and back our husbands, we listen to and advise our friends, and we give, give, give. At some point, it becomes time to think about ourselves. And my time is now. My journey to today has been both easy and turbulent, magical and scary. Finally, I am at peace. I love what I do and who I am, and who I have become. I adore the life I have created and the strong friendships that I have made. In these really complicated times, bringing people together around the table is not frivolous or useless. It is what we all need to find a thread of optimism in each other's company. And so, I will continue to talk and write about hospitality and friendships, generosity of spirit and camaraderie, inclusivity, and love. Thank YOU for being part of my journey.

As I write this, I am sitting in my library in Charleston, SC looking at hundred-year-old camellia bushes in bloom. Heaven. I live in a historic 1769 Charleston Single that I bought in 2019. Yes, I got really lucky with this real estate transaction. I moved to the Holy City after having lived in Greenwich, Palm Beach, and New York. At different moments in time, I also had houses in Tuxedo Park and Southampton, NY. Born and raised in Madrid, Spain, I went to boarding school in England for five years and then back to Madrid where I worked in PR and fashion. In my early 20's I moved to New York and never looked back. I have been so fortunate to have met wonderful people along the way who encouraged and supported my entrepreneurial spirit. From creating a line of men's bathing suits to writing entertaining books to Liberty fabric-lined towels and hostess skirts, even custom plates and napkins, I have thought it out and created samples, and proposals. Endless samples and lots of proposals. In my late thirties, without really having any professional background or real knowledge, I started writing about food and entertaining at home. My articles and photographs were published in the Palm Beach Daily News and Cottages and Gardens Publications. After that, I wrote for Town & Country, Food & Wine, Veranda, and many other magazines and newspapers. I have also self-published 2 entertaining books and collaborated with a few others that are still in print. In 2012, I moved with my children to Connecticut and started a gourmet food company called Victoria Amory & Co (VA&Co), and after a couple of years stint at HSN, I created a line of artisanal condiments that sold in most of the high-end specialty food stores across the US and Canada. Even Harrods in London carried my products! I closed it after 5 very hard years and a brutal divorce. My entrepreneurial spirit was crushed. Well, not totally crushed but after so many bad decisions and mistakes, I have finally learned what I need to look for in my next chapter. Now that I live in Charleston, where food, entertaining, and hospitality are the heart and soul of the community, I am continuing with my career and my life. I write for The Epoch Times a bi-monthly column, and this newsletter (which I love) and am now starting a video streaming project for Kittch. I also collaborate with brands like Antonius Caviar to help them spread the word (and their products!) Phew! A few years ago I was asked to give a talk about entrepreneurship and what I had learned and so, I am passing along these few pearls of wisdom: Making money is incredibly difficult. Yes, it is all about the money. Do not work alone. Partner or collaborate. It is impossible to do everything and know everything that needs to be done. Having someone with whom you can exchange ideas, talk things through and use their skills collectively is essential. Even though creative people don't like to do this, have a plan. It doesn't have to be a 15-year detailed analysis of the industry but a well-thought-out “elevator pitch” and a sentence or two on what exactly you want to do will make you look professional and pulled together. Furthermore, it will make it easier to explain to your friends. Go for it. And go for it and then, even more, go for it again. Consistency is key. Take deep breaths, do what you love, and love what you do. And give yourself time and space. As they say, “Rome wasn't built in a day”. It is going to take time. P.R. is not just about the press, it is also making sure that all your friends know what you are doing. Go out and tell the world. Making connections and networking is hard without being pushy and obnoxious. Beware of overdoing it as it will backfire.Rely on and accept the help of family and friends. Not just with funding but with spreading the word and promoting. If they don't support your project, it won't work. Seriously, if your best friend or your mother is not willing to pay for what you have to offer, who will? That show of support is one of the first questions that you'll be asked when you raise money. Yes, creating a community and a platform is essential for the success of your project ….And so, as I learn new systems and continue spreading the word of charming and elegant entertaining and share recipes and ideas and bits of wisdom I wonder… Am I crazy? At my age? But my spirit has not been broken and my passion for food, entertaining, decor, and style is actually even more focused and clear. I guess with age does wisdom come. And that is the point of my diary today: as women, we play so many roles, daughter, wife, mother, colleague, mentor, sister, and friend. We nurture and create lives around us. We empower and encourage our children. We support and back our husbands, we listen to and advise our friends, and we give, give, give. At some point, it becomes time to think about ourselves. And my time is now. My journey to today has been both easy and turbulent, magical and scary. Finally, I am at peace. I love what I do and who I am, and who I have become. I adore the life I have created and the strong friendships that I have made. In these really complicated times, bringing people together around the table is not frivolous or useless. It is what we all need to find a thread of optimism in each other's company. And so, I will continue to talk and write about hospitality and friendships, generosity of spirit and camaraderie, inclusivity, and love. Thank YOU for being part of my journey.

A friend recently told me that as she ages she feels invisible. That no one looks at her as she walks on the street or as she comes into a restaurant. I was floored by the comment. Really? I think that happens when you give up and wear black leggings and an oversize shirt; which is like hiding from the world. Making an entrance is about attitude. And a touch of red lipstick. Right?

My guest today is Geoff Daking who grew up playing in local bands before attending American University which he ultimately left to join the NY based Mercury artist Blues Magoos to play the drums in 1966 (I was born in 1967).  Between ‘66 and '69, they recorded four albums, two of which were platinum, and a top-five single, “We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet”. The peak of their career was in 1967 when they toured four months with Herman's Hermits and The Who (the Hermits were the headliners). During that time he became fascinated with recording and engineered some of the Magoos last albums. In the summer of 1969, Geoff went back to Woodstock where he played in bands with Tim Harden, Dave Sanborn, Paul Butterfield and Buzzy Feiton.  In 1970, Geoff became a staff engineer at Sound Ideas in NYC, then SoundMixers NYC, and later as an independent engineer. And In 1982. he opened his own studio, Nimbus Nine, which grew to four rooms, one API, one Neve, one Trident, and one ProTools. Since 1970, Geoff has designed and built more than 20 recording studios for music, film and commercial production. including the all analog “BIG Blue” in Katonah NY for the recording of Joan Osborne's premier album, “Relish” and Tuxedo Park for Cyndi Lauper's “Sisters of Avalon”. His most recent studio is the multi-million dollar music production facility in Saint Petersburg Florida, Big3 Entertainment. In 1993 Geoff started manufacturing his own line of audio equipment. The first product was a combination mic-pre/eq. This all-discrete Class “A” unit was based on the legendary Trident A Range circuits by Barry Porter. Next was the FET Compressor. In 2000, production began for full-size Class A recording consoles in frame sizes from 16 to 80 inputs.  Thanks so much to William Wittman for making our introduction!

Tap into eons of knowledge and experiences, condensed into digestible portions. Highly, highly recommend. “Uniquely outstanding. No fluff and all substance. David does an outstanding job summarizing these biographies and hones in on the elements that make his subjects so unique among entrepreneurs. I particularly enjoy that he focuses on both the founder's positive and negative characteristics as a way of highlighting things to mimic and avoid.”“I just paid for my first premium podcast subscription for Founders podcast. Learning from those who came before us is one of the highest value ways to invest time.

We also have the latest instalment in the etymological battle for the word ‘Digs' with contestant Brandreth coming in with some further evidence.

He was too complex to categorize—financier, philanthropist, society figure, physicist, inventor, dilettante—a contradiction in terms. He rose to become one of the most powerful figures in banking in the 1920s. The smile was a velvet glove covering his iron determination to get underway without any lost motion. He would dedicate himself to overcoming Germany’s scientific advantage. He had amassed a substantial fortune, which allowed him to act as a patron.Loomis was a bit stiff, with the bearing of a four-star general in civilian clothes. He was strong and decisive. He was enthusiastic about American know-how and was not inclined to sit idly by until the miliary finally determined it was time to take action—particularly if just catching up with the Germans proved to be a monumental task. He carried himself with composure, but his politeness was merely a habit; he was preoccupied. When duty called he helped reinvent modern warfare. He became an enthusiastic champion of the new armored tanks. He became such an expert on tank construction, he built a scaled-down model tank in his garage in order to see if he could make further improvements in the design. When his cousin came to visit, Loomis rolled into the rail station in his light armored tank to meet the train, kicking up dust and causing quite a scene. Loomis would later maintain that everybody on the Street knew the crash was coming, the only difference was that he and Thorne refused to bank on its being inevitably delayed. After the shock of the sinking of the Lusitania by a German submarine in 1915, Thomas Edison said that Americans were “as clever at mechanics as any people in the world” and could defeat any “engine of destruction.:” Edison had advocated for preparedness without provocation, and to Loomis, it seemed as wise a course in the present as it had been then. For the next four years, he would drive himself and his band of physicists almost without break to develop the all-important radar warning systems based on the magnetron.He drew a striking parallel between the present international situation and the financial situation prior to the crash. He said that now people are asking him when we will enter the war just as in 1928 his friends were asking him when the stock market crash was coming. He said that in both cases such a question is quite beside the point. He said that once a person admitted a stock market crash was coming a prudent individual will immediately get out fo the stock market and not consider when the crash is coming and thereby try to hang on and make some more profits. Likewise, at the present time it is of secondary importance when we will get in; of first importance is the admission that we are going to get in, and our action accordingly should be that of preparing just as though we were actually in the war! Loomis had one important characteristic. His ability to concentrate completely on the chief objective, even at the cost of neglecting matters that appear to other people to be of equal importance. ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out. The only criticism I would have is that after each podcast I usually want to buy the book because I am interested, so my poor wallet suffers.”— GarethBe like Gareth. Buy a book. It's good for you.

What technology won WWII? Most people would say the atomic bomb, but the real answer is radar.As a small island country, vulnerable to aerial attacks, England took the lead in developing radar in the 1930s. But the early radar systems were too massive to fit into planes, where they would be of most use in the fight against the Germans. At the heart of the problem was a technological catch-22. Smaller radar systems were, by definition, less powerful.Or so everyone thought, until a mismatched pair of brothers in Northern California decided to take a crack at creating a new kind of radar...This is episode one of our three-part series on radar, “Welcome to Tuxedo Park.”Listen ad-free on Wondery+ here.

Designing Buildings for Clients and the Environment How does a small architectural firm end up fielding calls from Tesla? By designing the largest residential microgrid on earth. The project, a recent home renovation in Tuxedo Park, NY, includes geothermal wells, a thousand solar panels, and enough battery capacity to interest Tesla. Architect Andrew Wright explains that he began with a design for a net zero home, but that the decision to go totally off grid turned out to be more cost efficient. Wright is the president of Wright Architects, based in New York's Hudson Valley. The firm specializes in energy efficient design, complemented by renewable energy generation systems. Bard MBA Alum Cindy Wasser spoke with him about current trends in sustainable architecture and about what the future holds for Wright Architects and the industry as a whole. theimpactreportpodcast.com

The 2016 season finale episode of Out of the Blocks takes a twist, as we travel to the 600 block of Deepdene Road in North Baltimore’s Tuxedo Park neighborhood.  The sounds of city traffic give way to the natural harmony of cicadas, birds, and frogs on this tree-lined residential block, nestled up against the city’s Stony Run Trail.  The stories here are a study of families in all their varieties: families with same-sex parents, interracial parents, single parents, and adoptive parents, as well as empty-nesters, divorcees, and newlyweds.  The twist?  For the Out of the Blocks producers, this episode is personal.  Wendel Patrick used to live here, and Aaron Henkin lives here now.
