America’s Favorite Photos
Rekindling America’s Appreciation of Photography

Remembering The Sixties

I wrote, played, and recorded my own music, protest, inspirational, environmental, and historical in the 1970's and 1980's. This is an image of myself that was used as an album cover for my musical album, "Born A Working Man." I am standing in front of the Lock Tender's House on the Fox River in my hometown of De Pere, WI, and as I am a photographer, I took the photo myself by posing myself for the shot and using the timer on the camera to snap it. I have added sepia toning to the b&w photo.
