The sweater was found in a Paris bookstore called Shakespeare and Company where Michael was the artist-in-residence in the winter of 2001. After packing too light for Paris winters, one of the tumble weed travelers gave him this sweater .

Michael Garlington is a photographer, master printer and sculptor. He is the son of a journalist and a photographer. Raised in Petaluma, California, he was influenced early on by the mix of hippies, poultry and dairy farmers, metal fabricators, bleeding hearts, artists and transients surrounding him. At 17, he began working with his mother and step father at their photographic lab in San Francisco, Spindler Photographic.

The boots have taken whatever was thrown at them.

Michael unveiled his latest creation for Burning Man 2023: The Chapel of Babel. This enchanting hexagonal wooden structure, a long-held dream, features Garlington’s signature black-and-white photographs. The portraits of people, animals, and nature emphasize inclusivity and celebrate the diverse expressions of humanity.
