It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

The Silver Man
There are all kinds of interesting performers on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, only a few minutes away from Venice. The promenade is lined with stores, but the street is blocked off and reserved only for pedestrians. I want to show you some guitarists I photographed the other day, but this silver man who showed up today just seemed astounding to me. Imagine how tedious it has to be to cover all of the skin on your face with this silver makeup. I have no idea what his deal was - he was just setting up when I shot this, and I didn't stay around to see. I was just taken by the effort he needs to expend just to show up for work each day.
