Meryl Truett's Thump Queen Gallery

Photographer Meryl Truett tells us a little about himself and his interest in signs and iconography: "Growing up in the South has given me a rare vantage point from which to observe the ever-changing landscape of a region in transition. I am drawn to the images that are so familiar, yet so alien to me.

Waving Bear.

From crude back-roads signs to eccentric and sometimes humorous records of the quirky manifestations of Southern culture, my photographs capture a particular vision of vanishing iconography and a certain moment in time.
I seek to collect, document, and preserve the objects, signs, and places of my memory before the infiltration of development and corporate mono-culture transforms the landscape forever."
