Glenn Weber, Photographer
Glenn Weber lives and works in an area where folks still love stories, and
the rich oral tradition is still to be heard on back porches lit by fireflies.
In his rural town in Wilkes County, Georgia, Glenn has captured potent visual
stories with his camera. We are extremely lucky to have a small trove of
his black and white images from the 70's and early 80's. A weary hound dog
is displayed for sale in the back of a battered pick-up truck on a "trade
day," or a preacher seems ready to take flight during a dedication ceremony
speech. Missy the horse is a study in light and shadow backlit by a sunny
moment. A woodcock alertly regards the cameraman from roadside brush. A black
man casts a night-time vote at the polls (a small whitewashed outbuilding)
in which the ballot box is a metal garbage can. Glenn's fine photographs
suggest a rye and earthy sense of humor along with his love of the land and
its people. (More photos)
