Ernest Nitka Photography

Actual Size

Actual Size by Ed Ruscha, 1962.  I was researching this artist for my photography stories blog when it was mentioned that this art work was what started his road to fame.  I had forgotten till just recently that I had taken a photo of this same artwork in 1968.  For a 13 year old from Colorado this art was very radical.  I wasn’t used to seeing this kind of thing, let alone having it called art.
