About The Artwork

This scene saddened me when I was on the location. A young Black Man was walking past an abandoned building in Texas City, Texas. The structure had housed a restaurant in the past and a sign saying "Colored Dining Room In Rear." I personally remember riding in buses with "Colored Seating at the rear." I also remember the end of segregation and the first Black person in our high school. His first name was Booker, after the great Black scientist, Booker T. Washington and was in the school choir with me. We must remember that if we do not learn from history, we will be doomed to repeat it. The original 6x6cm Ektachrome color transparency was made with a Hasselblad 500C analog camera. Extreme manipulation was done in Photoshop and Topaz Studio was accomplished to convert a photo that was shot on a bright sunny day into an Expressionistic image of dark foreboding.
