I haven't posted here in a while. I'm going to try to pick up posting from time to time.
A couple years ago I was in one of my old stomping grounds (Knoxville, Tennessee) taking photographs. The downtown area is a place I frequented often in the early 90s. There was a great cafe (still there today), a dance club called the Underground (no longer there), a couple theaters, and a dozen or so fun shops to visit (search my blog for more Knoxville photography). It's a relatively safe area, though whenever I have taken my mother down there she feels unsafe. The images below are wrought iron grates in front of the window to a costume shop. I love the way the repeating patterns seemed to bend and take on other shapes wherever you look in the photo. It reminded me that we all need a place where we feel safe, whether it's the quiet solitude of the suburbs, in nature, a little cafe in the middle of the city, or online.
If you want to purchase "Safe Here", please click on one of the links. The photos are available in black and white or color, single or as a set, and in a variety of sizes and finishes (including gallery canvas wraps).
