While in Tupelo, I had to try for a fun Holga photo of the Elvis mural. This kind of wall art is all over down south! This particular mural is maybe 15-20 feet tall? Something like that. It’s a block away from the Tupelo Hardware store that more or less looks the same as it did when Elvis got his first guitar there at 12 or 13 as I recall the story. Tupelo has Elvis stuff all over. Lots of guitars painted and displayed all around town. Other murals too.
I was hoping the chrome fixtures on this old bath tub at a restoration place near Batesville, Mississippi would show up well, and it worked out. There are hundreds of old porcelain claw foot tubs sitting outside waiting to be restored and sold right next to one of the main highways. I’ve been there several times and knew there was a picture there, but just couldn’t find “the one”… Photographers know what I mean! lol Anyways, I was there with a group of other photographers and I finally found a few photos that I liked.
These photos are not really about “tubs” but about shapes and shadows. At least they are for me!
Gotta love a good double exposure! I did this on purpose, though I wasn’t sure what I’d get when I did it. Another one from Mississippi. I had to run up and down the block to get these two signs together. I like the confusion!
