Phi photos 30 years of
Georgia politics
Audley
Tucker
It was 1954 when fellow chapter Brother Ernie
Vandiver, Georgia '40, decided to run for lieutenant
governor of the state of Georgia, and
Audley Tucker, Georgia '44, melded his two passions:
politics and photography. Tucker used his
fraternity connections and an inexpensive
Kodak camera to record Vandiver's election.
But what started as a hobby, grew into an enormous
private portfolio of political photographs.
When Vandiver ran for a second term as
Georgia's governor in 1966, Tuck' started taking photos at political
gatherings, and he hasn't stopped since.
For the past 30 years. Brother Tucker has captured on film
the movers and shakers in Georgia politics, including several
Phis. Besides Vandiver,Tucker has photographed Sen. Sam Nunn,
Georgia Tech '60; former senator, Wyche Fowler, Davidson '62;
and Carter chief of staff and senatorial candidate, Hamilton Jordan,
Georgia '66.Tucker was on hand to see Brother Nunn and
Brother Vandiver face off in the 1971 Democratic primary for
the senate, and he captured Sen. Nunn's election in 1972.
In 1970, after Jimmy Carter's successful bid for a second
term as Georgia governor. Carter named Tucker the official
photographer of the Georgia Democratic party and the official
state photographer. Brother Tucker still serves as the official
photographer for many state Democratic functions.
Tucker is compiling his enormous collection of photographs
into a book, recording the political life of Georgia.
A photograph by Audley Tucker: Sen. Wyche Fowler and Sen. Sam
