A Day in the DeltaA friend of mine from Delaware, Dave Wolanski, had a photo challenge this past weekend using disposable cameras. The theme was "My World," and we were given a single weekend to make the photographs. Since I was already planning to be out of town I decided to use the Mississippi Delta as "My World." The camera I used is one that I've had for a few years. It was a Fuji disposable with ISO 1000 speed film that has been out of date almost 5 years. Besides being out of date, it had been stored in a not so cool environment. The project was a lot of fun and challenged me quite a bit since I was forced to "zoom with my feet" and depend on the camera for the correct exposure, which I had absolutely no control over. Here are few images from the weekend. First up is a photo of the inner circle at The Shack Up Inn in Clarksdale, Mississippi. If you are looking for a place to stay that is both unique and a lot of fun.... definitely try it out. Tell Guy and Bill I sent you.
Here is a photo of the bottle tree that is in Shack Circle.
Next up is the New Roxy theater in downtown Clarksdale. The New Roxy doesn't have a roof but that doesn't stop its use. It has become a great venue for the local blues artists that seem to like performing there.
