Who Needs Niggers?, James "Spider" Martin, gelatin silver print
This black and white photograph represents haystacks in a field beyond a tree and its shadow, which occupy the foreground. Beyond the field and haystacks is a line of trees, another large field, and finally a horizon of large hills or mountains.
