This photobook features the graffiti art that is found in a covered bridge in Kentucky.The photographer has lived for many decades in Kentucky. The book was partly inspired by the graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, a Hispanic-African-American who made extensive graffiti art in New York City.The photos in this photobook were made by a sixty-three old photographer-writer who studied with the New York Institute of Photography in his 30’s, and lived in New York State for four years, after high school. He has spent time camping in the Catskill Mountains.This photographer was born in Detroit, Michigan, and lived in the ghettos there for his first five years, spending almost all of his waking hours with his grandmother, who in turn was born in Poland, and came to America as a war refugee in 1950. He attended a predominantly African-American kindergarten, in Detroit.He has also lived in a down-and-out part of San Diego, and for four years in Appalachian Kentucky, too.He also is a fan of African-American music, having counted it an honor to visit the Motown Museum in 2007, and to then enter the studio where Stevie Wonder created his masterpieces.He has a number of relatives, including his mother, who worked in the auto industry in Detroit.
