- A colour photograph - self-portrait of the artist. The portrait is of Barbara Spohr from about the waist up. She is looking down at the camera she is holding. She has short dark hair, medium size hoop earrings and is wearing a dark brown sweater with a jeweled brooch on her right shoulder. There is light coming in at her right and there is a blank wall behind her that looks a yellow-beige. Spohr is holding is a Yashica 635 twin lens relfex camera. There is a circular red sticker on the top of the camera. At the top left corner of the photo there is a brown spot that looks like chemistry on the neg and also two brown spots which seem to be chemistry on the print or stains. Au verso there is a silver sticker with black print at the bottom right, “ FOLIO 328 - 10 STREET N.W., CALGARY, AB T2N 1V8 (403) 283-6423 Distinctive Custom Framing”. At the bottom in the centre is a white card with grey print, “In Memoriam - In March of this year Barbara Spohr died after a long struggle with cancer. Despite what she would have called the dark cloud over her head, she demonstrated to those who knew her, or to those who took the time to study her photographs carefully, that beauty is ever-present in the mundane, and that even the simplest things hold the wonderful and delicate gift of life. Barbara was more a collector of images than a conventional photographer. What many would pass by, she observed and recorded. In so doing,she offered us photographic statements filled with whimsy, pathos, frailty, and the power of hope. All ofus who had the privilege of knowing her will miss her dearly.” On the right is a newspaper clipping taped to the back. The clipping talks about Spohr and celebrates her life.
