My photo was selected for a First Place Photo award in the 2020 Montgomery Art Guild Regions Bank Show.
I titled the photo "A Second Talk", a reference to "the talk" many African-American parents have with their children. It teaches them how to avoid police violence by following strict rules...where to keep your hands etc.
I took the photo at the Equal Justice Initiative Lynching Memorial, and I don't know what the man is saying to the boy, but I projected a lynching lesson on the photo, considering the location.
Thank you to the Art Guild and Regions Bank for honoring it, and me.
