"Movie's Over"


"Movie's Over"

These 2 old movie seats are from the former New Roxy movie theater in Clarksdale, MS. Ike Turner worked at this theater when he was a young man. It's now a very cool ampitheater-like venue renovated by a lady named Robin. Music acts are scheduled on a quarterly basis. Check the New Roxy out next time you're in the Delta!

"A Big Box of '70's"

This was one of the hardest things for me to part with since I'm a huge music fan. I sat this 8-track cassette box out on the curb for the Wednesday morning garbage pick up. I had these 8-tracks since the late '70's. This box represented my musical tastes in high school.

"Spring Blooms"

It's Springtime in Memphis, TN! I love this time of year when it comes to photography. Great colors, temps are warmer, winter is a fading memory ...the flowers that bloom in Spring remind me of my grandmother, Mimi, who was a florist and her house always smell good.

"Welcome to Shelby County"

I love this photo of one of the entrances to Shelby County's "Shelby Farms", It's such an iconic image. It looks like something that one would see in the opening of a movie such as "Cool Hand Luke".
