The original artwork for the book cover of Chuck Colson’s autobiography, Born Again, was based on a photo taken by Spencer. One of his recent projects is “Monotation.” Consider it iphoneography meets meditation.
One sunny October Spencer led a group of would-be photographers around an encampment offering tips taken from his time spent teaching photography in college back in the day. Some of the first photographs Spencer showed me were “graffiti” shots. Bridges. Walls. I have one of those original pieces received as a gift.
Last month while shooting around S.E. Oklahoma, Charlie and I stopped to photograph a railway bridge. When I saw the graffiti spray painted on the bridge I immediately thought of Spencer.
Choosing a title for a photograph often presents a challenge. What title would you give this photo? I chose “Bridge Peace.” There are a number of reasons. But, so as not to influence your response, I will leave it to your reading of the accompanying post to see if you make my connection.
Enjoy.
