Excerpt from the C’ville Weekly:
” In the summer of 2000, as part of a UVA sponsored art exhibit called Hindsight/Foresight: Art for the New Millennium, artist Todd Murphy stuck a huge steel frame on top of the tower and draped it with a flowing white dress. The piece was described as “a nameless faceless monument in honor of Sally Hemings.” It was beautiful in many ways, its ends lifted up by the breeze, its body rendered translucent by the setting sun, but for the most part the sculpture was met by locals with bemused confusion. It was the last major piece of art to involve the tower, and although the dress is gone, the steel frame is still there.”
The band “Mill” engaged me for some experimental sparkler shots. No flash was utilized here, just 25 second exposures off a tripod, wide angle f/5.6, ISO 100. Fun stuff.

Howard gave me a tour of his business a few months ago – I’m so glad that I made this little record of it…
