I think the flag/gun picture is good satire to modern society. But, it’s whatever. Artists put their art up places for it to be viewed, if you see it as bashing are country that’s just how you see it.

i like the fact that these “patriotic” people thinks that just because the artist used a gun to represent the country, the artist should be hated and criticized upon. But everyone agrees that this country is a violent nation who seeks peace through wars and power. the pistol represents this country perfectly.

Nationality defined, simplicity, juxtaposition, rock & roll, pop, dystopia, and environmental degradation!?

just looked at his web site, one of the best landscape photographers I have seen in a long time, brilliant work. someone to keep an eye on I think.

I love how people get so defensive when they think their values are being threatened. If you would look at his site you would see that he has a small series of guns with the flags of different nations overlayed. It’s not an attack on America “Ess”, it’s just a concept. I think that it’s an interesting generalization to associate a flag that symbolizes a nation as a whole and juxtapose that with ANY other object, whether it’s appropriate or not. It’s a dialogue and it doesn’t always have to be profound and it doesn’t have to be an accurate portrayal of our vast and diverse nation.

I love these. The first one expresses so much with using so little. It makes a statement that all should see and listen to.
The second one is a beautifully morbid reality of our world today.
Both of these are truths. Blunt and true.

Wow. A gun. An American Flag. Lets just bash our great country some more. I don’t like it.

The flag images are trite and unoriginal. Pieces of that ilk are amateurish at best. Even a great artist can make a mistake. While I won’t comment on whether or not I think Spencer is great, I will say that the flags are a mistake. He should further explore the cityscapes and photography that he is decidedly better at.

Both works of art are saying sooooo much about present day and people need to be aware even though they do not want to be. I love it definitely original.

Oh wow. I really love it! I’m a huge fan of dark cityscapes, and overlaying those photos looks amazing! And the pistol with the American flag on it made me laugh. xD Excell-ent!

Love the ethereal effect used on the landscapes. Not as fond of the flags series, but it shows an interesting contrast between the artist’s two styles.

I like the first picture.
It says a lot about the country.
And just how it expressed the artist’s thought straight away
;) very nice.
