I was able to go to an art museum semi-recently! and it was so wonderful!! One of the exhibits was of Ed Drew (American, born, 1981)’s
Untitled works from the series Self Portrait: Arkansas, 2014.

In the exhibit statement, he said he is barefoot to feel the pain and joy of the land where his ancestors were enslaved, and to a certain degree, freed. He used a 4x5 camera, and also described leaving its strap in frame intentionally.
