1975
About the Item
A silhouetted man looks out to infinity and ponders the buried memories on the hallowed grounds of Vicksburg. He is seen in silhouette in the bottom half of the composition. The top half shows two Civil War cannons. The past and present images are connected with the Godly glow of backlighting . The image is surreal and enigmatic and provocative of a dream state. It was shot in 1975 while on an industrial assignment for Life Magazine that had nothing to do with the Civil War. Funk took some time from photographing inside a noisy paper plant to visit site of a key Civil War battle. The silence of the Vicksburg Civil War battle field was deafening and marshaled Funk to create this acutely introspective image about present connecting with the past. ( Yours truly is the silhouetted man )
