You Better Stop

On Instagram you can do what is called “tagging”. Kinda like a “hashtag” on Twitter. It turns that word you tag your picture with into a link so you can easily search all photos with that tag. There is also a search menu just for tags. It also is an easy way for people to find your work since they search by tags. You can search ones you like & if there isn’t one already, you can create it & tell everyone to tag their pictures of the same & all those will pull up when that tag (or word) is searched. I started one a few weeks ago called “oldandrustyproject”. You have to put the number sign in front & put it all together if it’s more than one word like this one. Just put a space between each tag though. So, if you get a shot of something old and rusty, tag it with this & add it to the mix. I also started one earlier this week called “justsigns”. Get shots of any kind of sign…old, street, store, whatever & add this tag to it. It will be cool to get in a bunch from all kinds of people. I wanted to explain all of this because my post today is the first one I put into the “justsigns” tag. Hope you all have a great 3-day weekend. As always, this one is for sale by clicking on the link to the right.

Black N White Wednesdays (Week 20)

It’s hard to believe that this is week 20 of my little feature. It’s been really cool & fun though. This is an old boarded up & empty building I shot a while ago & turned it to B/W for this week. These old abandoned buildings are cool in B/W. I guess it wad some kind of country store. Have a great day. You can buy this by clicking on the link to the right.

Old Empty School

This old & empty school is in a little town called Cockrum Mississippi. All we have heard was that it has been empty a long time & they were gonna take it down & build a playground. The older people that live & went to school there blocked that & are trying to get it restored as a landmark. Hope you all had a great day.

Old Train Bridge

This is one of the two old train bridges that go across the Mississippi River in Memphis Tennesse. It connects Memphis Tennessee to West Memphis Arkansas. You can buy this one printed on canvas by clicking on my Instacanvas gallery to the right. Hope you all had great weekends.

Mid-South Coliseum

I posted this one on Instagram today but wanted to put it on here so I could tell more about it. It is here in Memphis Tennessee & was built in 1963. I saw many concerts & all kinds of shows here growing up. The University of Memphis Tigers basketball team played here way back then. It hasn’t been used in about 15-20 years. It only held right at 11,000 & the Tigers needed a bigger place so the Pyramid was built which held close to 19,000. The Tigers & Grizzlies played here when they first got here until their Fed-Ex Forum opened. Now the Tigers & Grizzlies both play there. The Pyramid hasn’t been used in a while either…last we heard Bass Pro Shop has bought it & are gonna build a huge new store in it. People wondered why the Mid-South Coliseum hasn’t been torn down, but the mayor of Memphis got it put on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. So there is your little bit of Memphis history for the day…lol. Hope you all have a great weekend & remember that you can buy this or any other of my pictures by clicking on the link to the right.

A Little Change

Ok, so you now have probably noticed that I have been playing with my theme. I love the dark (think the pictures show up good), but thought it was overdue for a change. I kinda wanted to try a brighter look. Not sure if I’m gonna stay with this one or not, but wanted to give you all a heads up in case you pull it up while I’m messing with it & some things don’t work or look right. I may try some more & just wanted to fill everybody in. Have a great rest of the day. Gonna add a picture because I feel weird making a post & not having a picture with it since it is my photography blog….lol. I got this old beauty last week when my wife & I went to lunch. It sits inside the front door of a pizza restaurant.

Black N White Wednesdays (Week 19)

Just an old abandoned house. This one is on the way to the dam of the lake we live on. Hope you all have been good. You can buy this one printed on canvas by clicking on the link to the right.

Black N White Wednesdays (Week 18)

This is just an old house pretty close to us (just down the road) you can’t tell because of the black n white of course, but this sucker is pink. Doesn’t seem like anybody lives here though. Have a great rest of the week.
