“Whistler’s Daughter”

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I found this lady waiting for an order she had placed with the woman behind the counter at a “Big Box” store in Mississippi. She was soft spoken, patient, and circumspect like so many of the ’scooter people’ I have observed. This photo will be on display along with many others this coming Saturday at Daydream Republic, from 8pm to midnight, all are welcome.

“You Are Toast!”

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

I located this “Church Sign” between Picayune and GulfPort Mississippi. Church signs are billboard like advertisements usually placed between the main road and the institution being represented. These signs are ubiquitous throughout but not exclusive to The Deep South. They tend to speak in more “fundamentalist” terms the further south one travels. For more Church Signs please visit my site at NoahJonBlakey.com. For even more church signs be sure to visit Crummy Church Signs.
