Description: This photograph was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely taken in southeastern Ohio or central West Virginia. Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Albert J. Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio Historical Center. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: These five 8"x10" (20.32 x 25.10 cm) photographs were taken on the set of the movie "Light of Day" in 1987. The photos portray actor Michael J. Fox with Ohio Governor Richard Celeste and other cast members. Parts of the movie were filmed in Cleveland, including a portion at the Euclid Tavern on the city's East Side. Governor Celeste played himself in the movie. "Light of Day" depicts the lives of a brother (Fox) and sister (Jett) who have their own local rock band in Ohio. The original title of the movie was "Born in the U.S.A", but was re-named "Light of Day." "Light of Day" also became a hit single for musician Bruce Springsteen. The Ohio Film Commission was established in 1979 to promote Ohio to the filming industry as a diverse place to film and a home to specialists with a wide range of film-making skills, including actors and set crew. The commission worked to bring to Ohio such films as "Rain Man," "Eight Men Out," "City of Hope," "The Shawshank Redemption," and "The Deer Hunter," among others filmed in Ohio. The commission's functions included scouting locations, arranging support services and helping in-state filmmakers to make and export their work. In 2002, the commission was eliminated as a cost-saving measure. The Division of Travel and Tourism absorbed all functions. View on Ohio Memory.
